Podcast Description
“Really it’s a cult. They prey on the people who don’t know, who are the weakestWho are going through the hardest time and I met a lot of people going through really, really hard time…everybody’s going through their pain or their hurt. And it just seems like Lambda is the hope for them. And then I feel bad for them because I try and tell ‘em Lambda doesn’t know shit, this is a bullshit-ass program, you should try and get out of the ISA…but by the time you actually realize that it’s bullshit you’re already X% invested in the ISA.”Jonathan Martinez​ has 5+ years of experience as a Designer working on a wide-range of projects.

00:30 Kim Crayton: Hello, everyone. And welcome to today's episode of the #CauseAScene podcast. My guest is Jonathan Martinez; pronouns are he / him. Jonathan, please introduce yourself to the audience.Jonathan Martinez: Hey everybody, how y'all doin'? My name is Jonathan Martinez, and the Internet world calls me JM—JM the Creative. So I'm also cool wit' just JM. And yeah, I'm on the podcast, I'm here to cause a scene.Kim: OK, well, [laughs] let's do that. So I always start to show the same way. Can you tell me why is it important to cause a scene? And how are you causing a scene? And we'll start the conversation from there.Jonathan: OK, cool. So, man, that's... it goes deep.

So, take your time, and we'll get to why Jonathan is causin' a scene.Jonathan: OK. Cool. So, yeah, I was basically invited here; I had not known anything about the podcast, really. But I'd seen you before on Twitter causin' a scene. People on Twitter, they talk about certain kinds of things, it's really raw and unfiltered, and you can jump into different conversations, and I had gone to—basically I went to a bootcamp called Lambda School, and to give a little bit of context, I'm a person that has a background in design, Web design, graphic design, UX design. And I just found myself in a place where I was really hurtin'. I was having a lot of imposter syndrome, just not really feeling confident in myself. And here comes Lambda School advertising like, "Hey, look,
