What if you could make yourself highly desirable to potential employers before you even get your first job?
With Create & Connect, you can escape the dreaded Catch-22 of the first dev job:
“All the good jobs require experience, but I can’t get any experience without getting a job!”
In Create & Connect, you'll learn what employers actually care about more than experience or degrees, and how you can create it for yourself.
You’ll learn how to establish your credibility as a developer through building an effective online presence and smart, natural networking.
Then you’ll learn how to turn those steps into a simple, repeatable system of daily and weekly tasks that, when done consistently, prove your value to employers and lead to incredible career opportunities.
And you’ll get all this set up and working smoothly in under 2 hours.

Right now, you might be wondering how you're ever going to get that first job
Everything seems to require experience.
You aren’t sure what kinds of projects to build.
You don’t know anyone in the industry.
You feel completely scattered and unsure of what to work on that will actually move you forward.
Things are getting even more competitive with economic shutdowns.
You’re submitting application after application and just keep getting rejected, or completely ignored.
Combine this with the fact that you don’t have any official credentials under your belt because you taught yourself and it can seem like an impossible hill to climb to get that first job.
You know if you got that first job you could leverage that into future jobs and gradually build your experience, but actually doing that is turning out to be easier said than done.
How would your situation change if you had an established, effective online presence, a portfolio of real-world projects that solve real problems, a large sample of writing, showing your problem-solving abilities and coding skills, and a valuable network of recruiters, employers, and other devs on the lookout for great opportunities for you?
That’s exactly what you’ll accomplish in Create & Connect.
Now, this won’t happen overnight.
It will take work on your part, but Create & Connect is designed to be a quick, high-leverage set of steps you can take to get the foundation set up and the system in place.
Then all you need to do is complete the simple daily and weekly actions you’ll outline in the workshop.
Doing that consistently over time is not only how you’ll build credibility to get that first job, but how you’ll continue to build an excellent career into the future.

Who made this?
Hi! 👋🏻 I’m Ken. Back in 2014, I got my first job as a junior developer after teaching myself using online resources for a few months.
I didn’t have any credentials or experience, but I had determination, drive, initiative, and a game plan to build projects and meet new people.
Create & Connect is something I’ve been mulling over for a few years and I’ve finally been able to make it a reality after talking to aspiring developers and solidifying what I did into a repeatable system.

Create & Connect is something I’ve been mulling over for a few years and I’ve finally been able to make it a reality after talking to aspiring developers and solidifying what I did into a repeatable system.
I created it to fill the gap between having an expensive, guided education like a boot camp or college and being completely self-taught and having to go at it completely alone.
It’s an affordable, step-by-step roadmap for people that feel lost, scattered, and are starting to wonder if they’ll ever get to develop professionally.
This is exactly what I would do if I had to start over from scratch today to get my first job.

FAQs
Is this live?
Nope, it's a set of recorded videos that you can watch whenever you want and go at your own pace.
How long do I have access to this?
Forever, or as long as the workshop exists at least.
If I don’t like it, can I get a refund?
Since it is a digital product and can be consumed in under 2 hours, I'm not offering refunds. However, instead of refunds, I am going to be constantly adjusting the content and updating based on student feedback. So if you aren't happy with the workshop, I'll work with you within reason to make sure I update it to cover what you need.
Will this work for people outside the US?
Total honesty: I think so, but am not sure. I am based on the US and most of the people I have talked to and helped are based in the US. Theoretically, this should work no matter where you are based, but language barriers and time zone differences could be an issue for you.
Will this work if I live in a remote area?
The networking aspect might be a little tougher for you, but yes it will still work for you. The reaching out we'll be doing can be done remotely and the development industry is becoming less location-dependent every day.
What if I’m not self-taught but can’t get a job, will this still help me?
Yes! The principles and strategies we'll be covering are applicable to anyone struggling to get a job. They are just especially helpful for self-taught developers because they focus on establishing credibility and getting hired without any existing experience or education. But if you also have those things, they will just be a bonus for you.
I have another question
There is a little messenger icon down in the bottom right. Feel free to reach out and I'll answer anything I can!
Who is this for?
