In this episode of Guidance Counselor 2.0, Taylor Desseyn talks with Ryan Carson, founder of Treehouse, the online tech school that helped more than a million people learn to code and switch into tech careers. He's now building Untangle, an AI platform for family law.

The conversation spans career changes, what it actually takes to build a company from the ground up, and how to use AI to get more done — whether you're founding a startup or navigating your next move. With 25 years of experience helping people break into tech and build businesses, Ryan brings a rare combination of perspectives: educator, founder, and builder.

For anyone considering a career pivot or curious about where AI fits into the next chapter of work, this episode covers both.
