A large majority of Americans believe that owning a home is part of the American dream, with estimates ranging from 74% to 94%:  - **LendingTree**: 94% of Americans say that owning a home is part of the American dream.  - **Bankrate**: 74% of Americans say that owning a home is the number-one feature of the American dream.  - **Yahoo Finance**: 78% of Americans view owning a home as critical to the American dream.    According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), about 88-90% of home buyers in the United States use a real estate agent or broker to assist them in the home buying process.   Realtor Jamie Parker states, “I am not just the person showing you homes or listing your house; I am an agent who cares about you, your situation, and your needs. It is all about you! Let me help you buy or sell your next home in the metro Atlanta area."   **Why choose Jamie?** Atlanta is a competitive market with many real estate agents. My enthusiasm for my job and my dedication to Atlanta, being a native, help me stay at the forefront of meeting my clients' needs. My goal is to excel for you. My background in music performance and education enables me to understand the dedication required to perform at a high level. This passion for excellence is what makes me a great real estate agent and an asset to all my clients looking for homes in the Atlanta area.   I remember it like it was yesterday. I was sitting on my living room couch when my then-wife said, “I want a divorce!” At that point, we had been married for 25 years. I had met her shortly after high school during my first semester of college, and we married 18 months later. I had lived with her longer than I had lived with my parents. My whole world turned upside down.   What about the kids? What would they think? Moving? Lawyers? Many of you know the drill. A decision had to be made at this juncture: do I fall apart or do I rise up? I chose to rise up through divorce care, grief counseling, and a lot of spiritual guidance from what I call my circle of advisors (as mentioned in Proverbs).   I had to shift gears and learn how to be a single dad while still excelling as a top realtor. I discovered that I needed to become an expert at leveraging and finding people to help in time-consuming areas, allowing me to focus on my primary goal—prospecting. He joined me this week to share more.   For more information: https://rockinagent.com/  Follow: @jamieparkerrealtor  Call: (404) 483-7816

In this episode your host Tobias Macey reflects on his current challenges in this area and some of the factors that contribute to the complexity of the problem.

Your host is Tobias Macey and today I want to talk about my experiences managing the QA and release management process of my data platform Interview Introduction As a team, our overall goal is to ensure that the production environment for our data platform is highly stable and reliable. This is the foundational element of establishing and maintaining trust with the consumers of our data. In order to support this effort, we need to ensure that only changes that have been tested and verified are promoted to production. Our current challenge is one that plagues all data teams. We want to have an environment that mirrors our production environment that is available for testing, but it's not feasible to maintain a complete duplicate of all of the production data. Compounding that challenge is the fact that each of the components of our data platform interact with data in slightly different ways and need different processes for ensuring that changes are being promoted safely.
