From Code to People: The New Engineering Manager's Podcast is a practical leadership series for engineers, developers, technical leads, and senior individual contributors making the transition from solving technical problems to leading people. Becoming an engineering manager requires more than technical expertise. You must learn how to delegate without micromanaging, run meaningful one-on-one meetings, give useful feedback, manage former peers, communicate with executives, make decisions with incomplete information, and build a team that can perform without depending on you for every answer. Hosted by TJ Walker, this focused podcast helps first-time engineering managers understand the mindset, communication skills, and leadership habits required to move from individual contributor to effective technical leader. Each episode delivers direct, practical guidance on engineering management, workplace communication, delegation, team development, feedback, decision-making, managing up, and leadership confidence. From Code to People is part of the Ultamize Personal Development Podcast Network , a growing collection of focused podcasts created to help professionals strengthen leadership, communication, career, and personal development skills through practical learning and repetition. #FromCodeToPeople #NewEngineeringManager #EngineeringManagement #TechnicalLeadership #FirstTimeManager #EngineerToManager #ManagingEngineers #LeadershipSkills #DelegationSkills #ManagingFormerPeers #OneOnOneMeetings #WorkplaceCommunication #CareerGrowth #WorkplaceSkills #PersonalDevelopment #TJWalker #Ultamize #UltamizePodcast #UltamizePersonalDevelopment #UltamizePersonalDevelopmentPodcastNetwork

Aug 19, 20263 minS0
<p>In Why Leadership Information Is Not Enough: The Engineer-to-Manager Pre-Reset, you will discover why understanding leadership principles does not automatically change the way you manage.</p><p>New engineering managers can learn about delegation, feedback, one-on-one meetings, decision-making, managing former peers, and team development, yet still return to familiar habits under pressure. Lasting leadership improvement requires repetition, reinforcement, and regular reminders that keep better management behaviors active.</p><p>This Pre-Reset explains why advertising, notifications, familiar brands, and digital platforms rely on repeated exposure. The same principle can be used intentionally to strengthen leadership habits. It prepares you to...
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
