I am your host, Oscar Santolalla. Oscar Santolalla: Hello. And today, our guest is a very special guest - it's Aaron Painter, and he is the CEO of Nametag, the company who invented "Sign in with ID" as a more secure alternative to passwords.

I learn so much from each episode so it's really a privilege to be on. Oscar: Fantastic. Definitely, super interesting, the conversation we're going to have actually about a topic we have not talked before in this show is the metaverse. So, let's get started. Let's talk about digital identity. And of course, we first want to hear about our guest, so what was your journey to come to this world of identity? Aaron: My journey was really growing up in technology. I spent about 14 years at Microsoft, started in Redmond near Seattle. And then the rest of my career was outside the US. I spent four years in France, two-and-a-half years in Brazil, five-and-a-half years in China, mostly doing international development, working with large customers of Microsoft's, partnerships, helping Microsoft expand into new geographies. I loved it. I got to experience so many different people and cultures around the world. I left and then went to run a cloud computing consultancy firm based in the UK called Cloudreach for a couple of years. And I left in December of 2019, just before the pandemic. That's where it all started. Oscar: Since when you started in identity, already in your work in Microsoft, you start entering, immersing yourself in this world of identity, or it came much, much more recently? Aaron: Identity came to me much more recently. And it was because so many customers that I was working with at Microsoft and later at Cloudreach were fascinated with security. Increasingly,

Christian Nilsson, Global Head of Advisory at Cloudreach, joins the team today to discuss how Conway's Law applies to cloud adoption. Referring to the law, Christian suggests that systems reflect organizations and vice versa, supporting the notion that focusing on people, rather than tech, is a far more effective way of delivering transformation. Ultimately, adopting cloud is a chance to review your principles and operating model, not just how your applications are powered.

In this episode, Rich Pilling, Service Line Leader for Data Insights & Resident Futurologist at Cloudreach, challenges our listeners to let go of their 'lizard brain' and be more data-led.

Serena Gonsalves-Fersch is conducting extensive research, as part of a doctorate, on the future of our profession.  In this episode, we explore Serena's findings so far, how these findings map to Serena's considerable experience and what the future of Learning & Development could mean for all of us. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are a remarkable number of opinions on what L&D should and could be doing. However, when you're working in the sector, and beneath the expectations of internal stakeholders, the experience is radically different. When you are in a startup or hyper-growth organisation, it requires a completely different approach and way of thinking when it comes to how we can best effect business change. Learning is an ever-evolving pursuit, but so too is the methodology of learning itself. We cannot hope to advance our knowledge, if the practices do not evolve with us on a personal level. We should never be afraid to experiment when it comes to learning. Even if we fail, we have learned a lesson.  Recognising the difference between an individual's learning requirements and their personal attitudes and approaches, is key to discerning the real needs. By mislabelling a personal issue as a learning issue, essentially offer complicity. BEST MOMENTS ‘It's easier to start from the bottom up, and look at how we build' ‘In a smaller organisation, the critical path seems more obvious' 'The human race would not have survived if we were not constantly learning' 'There's no such thing as an L&D emergency' VALUABLE RESOURC ES The Learning And Development Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-learning-development-podcast/id1466927523 ABOUT THE GUEST Serena Gonsalves-Fersch is an experienced L&D leader with 20 years in the profession, having worked at IBM and KPMG, amongst others.

In this episode, Barnaby Jeans (Senior Partner Development Manager at Microsoft) and Rob Duffy (Service Line Leader for Scaled Migrations at Cloudreach) join the team to discuss the impact of the COVID-19 on technical debt.

Adopting cloud can offer a way to address technical debt and revitalize your technology choices. If your cloud adoption goals include improving efficiency and optimizing performance, you can use this as a chance to refactor and modernize your existing applications, enhancing the value they provide your business. But how do you get started?  In this episode, we pose this question to  Clark Whiteway, Head of Application Modernization (NA) from Cloudreach and Alex Rhea, formerly of Cloudreach but now a Sr. Solutions Architect at AWS.

Paul Chin Jr. grew up using egg rolls to gauge profitability at his parents’ Chinese restaurant in Norfolk, Va. Today, he’s a cloud solutions architect at Cloudreach and a strong proponent of cloud, serverless, and open source technologies—and also a prophet of Nicolas Cage, a national treasure. Join Corey and Paul as they face off with plenty of time to kill and cover many topics related to severless and cloud technologies, including how software can be an army of one for any business; how popular tools can be gone in 60 seconds as new solutions emerge while slower-moving businesses are left behind with legacy systems; how Paul solves customer problems through understanding and adaptation; and how severless means everyone can build computer programs—without computer science training, either. Don’t think so? It happened to Paul. It could happen to you—and even the weather man—too.
