Practice Makes Progress with Thomas Powell

Thomas Powell, Senior Engineering Manager at Appriss Health, talks about learning seven languages in seven weeks and that each one opens the door for a deeper understanding of the possibilities in your home language if you have a primary language that you work with. 

Ruby is Thomas’s home language. He talks about what it is about Ruby that feels like home to him, why people should pay close attention to the communities they're cultivating, his vast experience in spoken languages, and his career path to working in a leadership position.
