In a world where remote and hybrid work is the new normal, company culture and employee engagement play an increasing role in business success. Organizations of all sizes emphasize internal events — especially offsites — to bring their employees together. But what can you do to optimize your offsites and avoid wasting time and money on programs that fall flat? In this episode, Splash's co-founder and executive Chairman, Ben Hindman, explores what you can do to elevate your offsites and deliver stellar experiences designed for team connection. RESOURCESExplore our Internal Events Toolkit: https://bit.ly/39hiVUHSee open roles at Splash: https://splashthat.com/careersCONNECT WITH USFollow Splash on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/3237551/Connect with Ben Hindman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-hindman-a7928834/ Connect with Camille White-Stern: https://www.linkedin.com/in/camille-white-stern-7987b893/ 

In part one of my conversation with Ben Hindman, the co-founder and CEO of Splashthat, he talked about his company's efforts to rapidly transform the focus of their product to meet the needs of a world that had shifted to online events. In this second part of our conversation, Ben tells us how Splashthat originated as a hail Mary effort to promote his other company, which needed a lot of help. He also offers some tips about the right way to speak to potential investors.

The coronavirus pandemic has forced organizations to dramatically change the way events are organized and marketed. No longer are we rolling our travel cases across airport floors and congregating in hotel ballrooms. Now the events come into our home offices—if we can manage to break away from our other Zoom meetings. These changes posed a special challenge—and an opportunity—for Ben Hindman, the co-founder and CEO of Splashthat, a company that offers an event marketing platform that gives planners a cohesive, professional, and engaging experience from launch to wrap. On this edition of UpTech Report, Ben discusses how his company rapidly transitioned their product to meet the moment of 2020.

This week in TNS, D2IQ co-founder Tobi Knaup wrote about the growing problem of container sprawl, a by product of more companies running containers in production, and as a result, there is a loss of efficiency on the part of the DevOps teams managing them. https://thenewstack.io/container-sprawl-is-the-new-vm-sprawl/ In this episode, we will speak with Ben Hindman, D2IQ co-founder, and CTO, about this issue of container sprawl, and how it hampers “Day 2 Operations” as D2IQ (formerly Mesosphere) calls it. We also will discuss the company's recent Cloud Native Virtual Summit, its recently released KUDO tool https://thenewstack.io/kudo-automates-kubernetes-operators/ , the 6th Anniversary of Kubernetes, and the latest on Mesosphere and the DCOS.

Humans are not objective, efficient working machines. Even the highest performer faces times when productivity falls. We get too distracted, too confident, too comfortable. We over commit or under prepare. And as awkward or painful as it may be, we all have times in our lives when we need to have our egos checked. Usually - hopefully-  a candid pep talk comes from your friend or a family member looking out for you.  But in Ben Hindman's case, that wake up call came from the person you least want to hear it from… his boss. “I think they were torn whether or not I was the right person for the job. After about two years working there it became clear that I was not, and that was really hard for me… The people who I worked for and worked with were very clear that I was not performing well.” Ben is now the co-founder and CEO of an event marketing software company called Splash. But before he became his own boss, he was an employee. And as Ben will share today, sometimes it's the lessons you learn as an employee that set you up best for success when you become a founder. ---  Learn more about The Journey at mission.org/thejourney.

On this week's episode of The SaaS Revolution Show, we take you to the SaaStock on Tour New York stage for what was one of the most entertaining and well-received panels on the day. Ben Hindman, CEO of Splash talks with Tomer Tagrin, CEO of Yotpo and Alexis Le Quoc, CTO of Datadog about some of the fundamental challenges they have faced in the course of growing their companies and how they have addressed them. Listen on to hear: What is the right set up for scaling a company? What is the main job of the leader of a scaling company? How to fundraise and stay frugal at the same time? One of the benefits to being based in New York rather than Silicon Valley is the fact that founders don't have to spend crazy money on having the most impressive conference rooms and perks in the neighbourhood to attract talent. A sentiment valid for many other places in the world where founders and executives built their companies without unnecessary bells and whistles. We will gather 3000 of them from over 50 countries in Dublin in October for SaaStock18. Grab your ticket now by going to https://www.saastock.com.

Mesos is a system for managing distributed systems. The goal of Mesos is to help engineers orchestrate resources among multi-node applications like Spark. Mesos can also manage lower level schedulers like Kubernetes. A common misconception is that Mesos aims to solve the same problem as Kubernetes, but Mesos is a higher level abstraction.

Four years ago, the virtualization industry was blown wide open by the arrival of Docker — a format which made it possible to stage workloads and scale them without the overhead of VMware, Xen, or KVM virtual machines. Last year, Docker Inc. graciously donated its container standard to the Open Container Initiative, run by the Linux Foundation — a neutral governing party. The idea was to end all the bickering over what the container format should be. Instead, what's happening is a fresh re-opening of the debate over why there should be just one. “I think, a couple of years down the road, people are going to be talking less and less about containers, and people are going to be talking more and more about applications again,” said Ben Hindman, the founder and lead engineer of Mesosphere. What a bank in New York City really wants, said Hindman, is the opportunity to test an application on its data center the same way one of its executives tries out an e-mail client on her laptop. If data center apps became more analogous to mobile or desktop apps, the entire business of serving large enterprises could be revolutionized. “At the end of the day, what people care about. . . is being able to run these sophisticated, distributed applications. At least what I hope, in five years' time from now, everyone is talking about that as an ecosystem.” What we've been calling “container architecture” deals primarily with the packaging and constitution of containers — small, firmly packed virtual machines without the hypervisor. Up to now, a lot of folks thought container architecture and container orchestration were the same topic. They're not. The critical issue that data centers are facing today is how to network their workloads. In a container network, each container has its own address. Natively, Docker creates a subnet of containers, each of which has its own port number. For data centers where port numbers have specifically designated purposes — like port 80 for Web traffic — that won't work. They'd already be violating compliance frameworks just for trying this. That's why Kubernetes and Mesosphere and Docker have all adopted different means of orchestration, where each container is given its own IP address. There are different ways of doing this through network overlays, some of which scale better than others. But this does solve the problem with Docker's native networking. However, it also solves a broader class of problem, because VMs have their own IP addresses too. As long as IP addresses provide a layer of abstraction between virtual components and their orchestrators, the substance to the argument in favor of a single container format, disappears.

Links from the show: Dave Lester from Twitter/ApacheMesos on #155 Understanding Mesos Kenneth Hui’s Series on Apache Mesos Microsoft / MesoSphere Announcement Thanks for the MesosCon folks for having us! - MesosCon Homepage Topic 1 - Give us some of your background and how you went from working on Apache Mesos at Twitter to becoming involved with Mesosphere? Topic 2 - It’s been about a year since we talked about Mesos on the show. We’ve talked about Kubernetes a few times. Can you give us the basics of each of those technologies because sometimes people confuse them or think they are interchangeable or overlapping. Topic 3 - Let’s talk about Mesosphere and DCOS (Data Center Operating System). People talk about “durable and declarative” infrastructure for applications. How does DCOS accomplish this? Topic 4 - Mesosphere includes not only systems and schedulers for the underlying container infrastructure, but also application-level schedulers. What are the differences, and how does a development team vs. an ops team interact with Mesosphere? Topic 5 - What types of applications are you seeing Mesosphere customers running in this new environment? One thing we heard at VelocityConf was that there is work within Apache Mesos to look at adding support for stateful applications or stateful data - what’s the status of that?

Ben Hindman talks to Jeff Meyerson about Apache Mesos, a distributed systems kernel. Mesos abstracts away many of the hassles of managing a distributed system. Hindman starts with a high-level explanation of Mesos, explaining the problems he encountered trying to run multiple instances of Hadoop against a single data set. He then discusses how Twitter uses Mesos for cluster management. The conversation evolves into a more granular discussion of the abstractions Mesos provides and different ways to leverage those abstractions.
