Devon Eriksen, author of Theft of Fire, grew up surrounded by images of space, brought home to him by his father, an engineer at JPL. After decades as a software engineer, the unwavering encouragement of his wives presented an opportunity to pursue his childhood dream of being an author. He began writing stories with a single overarching goal: give the reader something to love.

In this podcast, we discuss the future-proof skill stack, how intelligence doesn't equal success, how to navigate the world of AI, becoming an independent author and creator, and more.
