Chad Bostick
Jaime Jay welcomes Chad Bostick to today’s podcast. Chad is the host of Hello Tech Pros, and seeks to help build businesses, products, and careers. Listen to his story and learn how to overcome social struggles as well!
In the Groove with Technology
Since childhood, Chad has not been always comfortable around people. He finds himself more comfortable around technology and computers instead.
Everyone has been in some situation where you feel very nervous, like everybody’s looking at you.” -Chad Bostick
Chad learned to use computers by himself. As a kid, he discovered that he can hack and play with computers to do what he wants it to do. Growing up, he dived into technology—playing video games and learning codes.
Learning Firsthand
At 10 years old, Chad got a computer that didn’t have software. He had a stack of family computing magazines that had type-in programs listed at the back. He would type in the codes listed, and the computer would do what the code said it would.
Chad slowly learned the craft over the years. He became pretty good at it by the time he was college-aged. He had come a long way from his first job doing some scripts and multimedia projects in a small startup.
Overcoming Self
There are many ways to be comfortable around others. Chad shares how he overcame extreme anxiety.
Whether you think of yourself way too high or whether you think of yourself way too low, it’s still internally focused.” -Chad Bostick
Chad discusses that unless your anxiety level is already at the extremes, it is perfectly okay. Realize that everyone has struggles in life. The best thing to do is to get over yourself, and learn to be externally focused.

About Jaime Jay
Meet Jaime Jay – a man who wears many hats, and wears them all admirably. He's a master connector, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and a published author who knows how to get things done.
Before he found his way to the business world, Jaime served his country as a brave paratrooper in the U.S. Army. But that's just the beginning of his many accomplishments.
He's the founder of the renowned Bottleneck Distant Assistant Services firm, and his book "Quit Repeating Yourself" has become a must-read for entrepreneurs everywhere.
When he's not busy building his empire, you can find him on his beloved Harley Davidson, cruising through the countryside and taking in the invigorating effects of Uitwaaien – a Dutch practice that involves facing the wind to boost health and relieve stress.
He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.
He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.
