He is also the former host of the Breaking Into Startups podcast, which features stories of people who had non-traditional backgrounds and successfully broke into tech.

Meyster studied finance at Emory University's Goizueta Business School and later completed a software engineering program at Hack Reactor, while also studying at Y Combinator. He has worked in various roles, including as a software engineer at Funding Circle US and Hack Reactor, and as a Senior Investment Banking Analyst at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey.
