Top 10 Funniest Development Nerds Moments

Описание: Behind every confident leader is a collection of awkward, funny, and deeply formative moments, and many of them start in our very first jobs.

This episode brings together some of the most memorable, laugh-out-loud stories from past guests as they reflect on their earliest working experiences.

From misunderstood presentations and customer blow-ups to first paychecks, first mistakes, and first lessons in responsibility, these moments are as funny as they are meaningful.

What begins as humor quickly turns into insight:
How early jobs quietly shape our work ethic and confidence
Why mistakes often become the doorway to growth
The leadership lessons we learn long before we ever manage a team
How being defended—or defending others—can leave a lifelong impact


Featuring moments from Mike Pacchione, Jo Watson, and others, this episode is a reminder that leadership doesn’t start with a title, it starts with experience.

If you’ve ever felt awkward, out of place, or unsure early in your career, this conversation will make you laugh, reflect, and maybe see your own journey a little differently.
