Podcasts about how allan

Allan Leinwand, SVP of Engineering @ Slack shares his core philosophy & approach to creating developer productivity AND happiness! You’ll learn how Allan combines what developers want most + metrics, & analysis of the dev pipeline to optimize productivity. Allan covers how to translate those principles to remote/hybrid work and how to tell (and what to do...) if your dev teams are unhappy. "I generally say developers want to do three things... They want to solve hard problems at scale. They want to see that hard problem when they solve it... get put to use! The third thing that I think, honestly, is they just don't want to work with jerks. I think if you master those three things then you end up with a very happy and productive development team." ALLAN LEINWAND SVP ENGINEERING @ SLACK Prior to leading engineering & operations at Slack, Allan was Chief Technology Officer at ServiceNow, where he was responsible for overseeing all technical aspects and strategy. He has co-founded and held senior leadership positions at multiple companies and was a venture capital investor for seven years. He founded Vyatta (acquired by Brocade), the open-source networking company, and co-authored “Cisco Router Configuration” and “Network Management: A Practical Perspective” and has been granted a patent in the field of data routing. Leinwand previously served as an adjunct professor at the University of California, Berkeley where he taught on the subjects of computer networks, network management, and network design. He holds a BS in Computer Science from the University of Colorado at Boulder. SHOWNOTES Your team is more than the metrics!

Good People, Today I had the pleasure of reconnecting with an old college friend of mine: Allan Boomer. He is a successful franchise investor and financial planner. After college, he went off to earn his MBA at NYU Stern and then worked for Goldman Sachs for 7 years before deciding it was time to start his own firm.

Throughout our conversation, Allan shares stories about the foundation of his success today, and how his life was transformed with a single sentence. It all boils down to just doing your best in all things, no matter what it looks like, and no matter what expectations are set out for you at the get-go. Allan also shares some financial insights and strategies for managing money. Specifically, we talk about how to teach children about money, and how to find a trustworthy financial advisor that fits your needs as your wealth grows. Allan’s story is inspirational and provides practical financial advice. We cover a lot in this conversation. So sit back, relax, and take a listen. I’ll see you soon.

Allan Sparkes is the Deputy Commissioner of the Mental Health Commission of NSW and a former police officer who served on the front line for 20 years, where he was involved in the horrific aftermath of the Hilton bombing, arrested some of Australia’s most notorious criminals and faced the tragedy of murdered colleagues.   Allan is one of Australia’s most highly decorated citizens. He is one of only five Australians in the past 43 years to be awarded Australia’s highest bravery decoration and highest civil award, the Cross of Valour (https://www.allansparkes.com/?p=1852) , awarded for ‘acts of the most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme peril’. Allan discusses this incident with us in detail in this episode.   In January 2017, Allan was named in the Australia Day Honours List and was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to mental health support organisations and the community. In August 2016, Allan was awarded Australia’s fourth highest bravery decoration, the Commendation for Brave Conduct – once again, Allan talks us through this conduct in this episode.    In December 2012, Allan was one of only 10 Australians to be presented the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal. He is also the recipient of other significant awards for bravery, valour and service including the Royal Humane Society Galleghan Award and the New South Wales Police Commissioner’s Valour Award.  So, it’s safe to say that Allan knows a thing or two about bravery and mental health. And that’s what this episode is all about. His story is a magnificent example of turning fear into courage and failure into success. He’s also the author of ‘The Cost of Bravery’ which covers a lot more of his epic journey and I highly recommend you grab a copy here:  www.allansparkes.com (https://www.allansparkes.com/)   In this episode we discuss: Bravery – what is it and are we all wired to be brave?! Allan’s captivating experiences of bravery that saved people’s lives.  The Change Room Program and why he’s so passionate about his impact there. What it was like being a police officer in Kings Cross and arresting some of Australia’s most notorious criminals.  His experiences in the darkest moments of his life. His relationship with his wife in those challenging year’s. What worked for Allan to revitalise his mental health. Why a proactive approach to Mental Health is so important!  His 4 foundation stones that we should all be nourishing and why. How Allan reversed type 2 diabetes! The Mental Health Continuum model and how it can help you. And so much more around the empowering aspects of mental health, including the power of kindness.   We also discuss gut health and the gut-brain connection related to mental wellness and mental health.

On today's episode I spoke with Allan Iverson, Babolat's Sales Representative in Southern California and the 2014 Tennis Industry Sales Rep of the Year. Allan and I discussed the history of Babolat, the best approach to choosing racquets and strings, and improvements in tennis technology over the past few decades. In addition to his job with Babolat, Allan is also a USPTA P-1 teaching pro with more than two decades of experience. In 2012, he was Babolat’s National Salesperson of the Year. Allan travels far and wide, including a recent trip to China, to help enrich the tennis industry's knowledge about the latest products that Babolat has to offer. He has become such a wealth of information that one of Allan's bosses recently said “his knowledge of the brand is better than anybody I have worked with.” Allan is no slouch on the court either; he played number one at his high school and all 4 years at Christ College of Irvine. I hope you enjoy my interview with Allan! If you have an interest in racquets, strings (which tennis player doesn't?), and tennis products in general, you will really like this episode. Choosing the right equipment for your game is crucial, and whether or not you go with Babolat products, you will learn a ton from Allan about what is available and how to determine what is best for your game. I use Babolat racquets and strings and highly recommend them. There are a ton of choices out there, and this episode will help you narrow down the playing field. Thanks for listening!
