In this episode of Capital Class, Adam Giery sat down with Johanna Mikkola, an entrepreneur who risked jail time and deportation to realize her dream. Johanna’s story of founding a coding school in an obscure corner of Miami to advising the White House on the future of computer coding is a compelling lesson in determination and persistence.

Johanna is the co-founder of Brain Station (formerly Wyncode Academy), and she helps hundreds of non-coders each year learn how to code and product-design in just 10 weeks. She shows students how to build web applications and teaches the valuable business and leadership skills necessary to be successful as web developers.
