Marin County Swim Association is a 501(c) non-profit raising funds to make aquatics more accessible in Marin County, CA. Historically, residents have had to travel out-of-county to participate in high-level competitions, creating financial barriers for underrepresented youth to participate. MCSA aims to bring these opportunities back to the community by providing access to tournaments, equipment, and lessons at low or no cost. In this episode, we discuss the current barriers to access aquatics in Marin County, Steve's background as a water polo coach, and how he discovered crypto before becoming a JuiceboxDAO contributor. He also tells us about his experience fundraising for MCSA on Juicebox and how it can enable greater transparency for non-profit organizations.

http://convocourses.com Full video on Youtube.com/convocourses Hey guys, this is Bruce and welcome to convo courses, podcasts. Every week. What I do is I talk to you guys about cyber security, mainly speaking on security compliance. And I'm opening this things up to questions. So if you have any questions during the course of this live session, feel free to ask 'em. This is the perfect time to interact with me. And if you didn't know, I'm the sole proprietor owner of convo courses.com where I got tons of free stuff. If you're interested in cyber security compliance in particular, lots of downloadables, lots of free stuff for you to check it out. You might not even be interested in cyber security, but outta, unless you try you, you must been hearing about it. It's a hot career path and let's get right into this. So what I wanted to talk about today, If somebody on TikTok said just another guy selling a book and yes, I am selling a book, but I'm also selling courses. I'm selling my time. But it, the thing is I've been doing this for years. , it's I've been putting free content out for years. My. Has something like 600 free videos where I'm putting people on how to get into cyber security, how to do cyber security compliance how to secure their system. All things, cyber security I've been talking about for free and you can still get this stuff's all out there. So if you're interested in this. The best place to follow me. If I can't, if you wanna get stuff for free, you wanna try it out or whatever, or get information is to go to YouTube. YouTube has hour long. Literally I do these every week. I've been doing hourly long videos for years, teaching people, just ask me questions and I'll just go ahead and speak for an hour straight about a topic. Yeah, I am I selling a book? Yes. On Amazon, I'm selling a risk management framework. I, this Audi, most of the people in this audience will not be interested in that book. I'm selling to a very niche group of people who are interested in this is people who are in cyber security, trying to make big money. Not everybody is willing to do, take the time to to learn this trade. And to get into this and they want that quick money, but this is not quick money. This is long term money that's gonna help you and your family for years. If you are interested in that, then you come to the right place, cuz I'm here to teach. And if you're here to learn then let's do this. Somebody said what up family? Somebody said any thoughts on IBM cybersecurity certificate on Corsera is really dope. Corsera if I'm not mistaken they're also doing the Google support it certification. So Coursera is incredible. Another one I would recommend is you to me. I've taken TMY myself, actually, TMY is incredible because it has a lot of entry level courses and stuff. IBM cyber security certification. My opinion on it is I really, this is the first time I've heard about it. That being said, one of the things that you wanna look into whenever you try to get a certification is how. How popular is that certification that matters to give you an example of why that matters is because there's a certification called the C and it's a certified ethical hacker cert certification. And it's got a lot of attraction, like HR departments, companies know what exactly what it is and what it does. It's for people who do pen testing it's for people who are looking at cyber threats. Cyber threat analysis, things like that. Now in the hacker community, if you talk to most hackers, people have been doing this for a while. People really know what they're doing. They hate that certification. The reason why is because the certification is a, not, I won't say it's a money grab, but it doesn't. It goes into a lot of the tools that you use for the trade, rather than the actual theory. And I having read through the books for C I would disagree with that. They treat you a lot of the fundamentals that it takes to learn the basics of hacking and goes a little bit deeper. So I would say it was from basic to intermediate. But it's got a, an unfair shake in my opinion, from the hacker and the pen testing community, because it just doesn't go deep enough and they want it to be more hardcore. If you want something more hardcore, you wanna go to the SC P O S C P or Cali Linux, stuff like that. Those certifications have more hacker respect. What the point I'm trying to get at is C is a very marketable certification. If you have that certifi. You're looking at and a little bit of experience under your belt. You're looking at six figures, but that's because it's a popular certification. So IBM cyber security certification I'm saying is not super popular. I'm guessing, but let's take the guesswork out of it when I'm gonna do right now is I'm gonna go to, I'm gonna go to a. And I'm gonna show you what I'm talking about. As far as marketability of certifications, you wanna look at the marketability of a certification. Let's go to indeed.com. One of my favorite sites to go to for job searches. And I'm gonna show you, let me show you my screen real quick while I'm doing this. Somebody ask me what search do I have? I'll answer that in a second. While I'm doing this C I S P and Cap and a few other ones, but let me show you what I'm talking about. Oh man. You can not see that. Okay. I'll just walk you through it. Okay. So I've got a bunch of people watching, so I'm on indeed right here. And I'm gonna type in IBM what'd you say security certification. You said cyber security certification cyber. And this is what you wanna do with any kind of certification that you are trying to pursue. You wanna see the marketability of it? Cyber security, certifi. You can just go to any kind of job aggregator such as LinkedIn, indeed monster and just type it in. So it says there's no searches, but that's because it's only searching in my area of Colorado. Let's look at all the United States and let's see how many certifications how many people are looking for the certification. So I did a search here. And it's saying that there's 11 jobs looking for the IBM certification where that keyword came up and really it's not even it's keying in on certification security. It's not really finding the IBM certification, but let's take an equivalent certification. Let's say equivalent of cyber security certification. Let's say it's a security plus. Now watch this. I type in security plus comp Tia. In fact let's narrow it down. Comp Tia security plus certification. There are 9,000 jobs. That's what that says right there. Nine, 9,000 jobs for the comp Tia security plus, and look at the look at what they're paying. Now. This is for a junior ethical hacker, but that's not bad at. And it's getting you into ethical hacking, which is pretty good. It's I've. So my opinion about the IBM certification is doesn't have traction just yet. A lot of these vendors will try to create their own, and this is coming from somebody who has vendor level certifications. I'll get into what kind of certifications I have in a second, but vendor level certifications, some of 'em don't take off some of 'em don't they lose traction. And because it's the company, the organization doesn't market them effectively. And what they lack that some of the certification organizations have. A couple being ISACA, which has C I S a C I S M C risk and some of the others comp Tia, which has a plus certification network plus certification security plus certification and others. And then you have is I C ISC two squared, which has CS S P and a couple of other big time certifications. What these guys do right? Is they market the certification. They know who to talk to, to get in on these lists, the government lists to say, Hey, these are approved set of certifications. They market it so that other people have to take the cert. And then it becomes a requirement like they did with the C the marketing on C is incredible. Like they did a great job on the marketing aspect of it. So my opinion of the IBM cyber security certification, it doesn't have traction just. I would probably go for something like the sec security plus if you're trying to get in the field and make money. So that's my opinion about it. I hope that answers your question. That's a question from TikTok, by the way. Here's another question that I have from Floris floes leak. And it says, what kind of certifications do you have? Certifications that I have. Okay. I've got the C I S P that certification singlehandedly changed my life as a professional level certification from ISD to squared. I got it when it, not when it first came out, but shortly after it came out. So I have a pretty low number. They have a set of numbers. So I got mine in like 2006 or 2005 or something like that. And then I've got the ISC two cap, which is it's for a security compliance for N 800. I. I've had two different versions of the security plus one of which doesn't expire. Cuz I got it. Like when it first came out, I used to teach security plus comp Tia. I had the original network plus the original, a plus, which was one certification now is two. I have Microsoft C I've got, I had the CCNA, but that expired. I don't like, I don't, my, that knowledge has left me. If you don't speak a language for a while it's gone. I understand still the basics of, I, I could probably configure a router or something like that, but it will take me a minute. Then I've got a bunch of vendor level certifications. I've got one for arc site. I've got one for QS. I got one and I got a few other ones, and I'm not people call me a paper tiger or whatever, cuz I, I go out and get these certs and stuff. I normally, I would get the cert based on the job I'm in. If there's a job I need to do. And they need me to do learn this particular, this a certain thing. Then I'll go out and learn that. So that's why I have so many certifications. I got 'em outta necessity. I didn't get 'em because I was trying to get a bunch of certifications. It was all for me. It's outta necessity. I got other things to do with my time. , you know what I'm saying? Like the next certification I'm gonna get is probably gonna be a cloud based certification. Like I'll probably get that AWS. Cloud practitioner one coming up real soon because people keep asking me questions about cloud. I'm like, damn, I don't really, I'm not really deep on cloud, so okay. Let me see. Jimmy says thanks for the breakdown, man. I really appreciate that. Hey man, no problem. No problem at all. Okay. So I wanted to take some have people call in, but I'm having, I don't have a lot of people joining me on YouTube, so I'll wait on. In the meantime, what I can do is I could take more questions and I can actually teach some stuff on a N 837. Or, you know what I think a better thing to do is to speak a little bit more on certifications since I got a lot of people asking questions about it. Okay. So certifications, I would recommend let's talk about that certifications. I would recommend I'm gonna talk about the Entry level intermediate to expert. Okay. Let's start with intermediate entry level certifications. So entry level certifications. I would highly recommend in this order. If you let's say you come in off the street, you get, you know anything about it or computers. I would recommend a plus certification. That was the first one I took. It was, it's a great introduction into the common body of knowledge that you need to know in order to troubleshoot. Systems and how to secure them as well as the networking aspect of computers. A plus certification is one of the best ones from comp Tia. So comp Tia, let me just show you what that site looks like. CompTIA. Another one I would recommend would be the Google support it certification. This is comp tier right here. It's one of the top certification. Organizations in the world, CompTIA, they got a plus they got network. Plus they've got cloud plus they've got a really good course curriculum that breaks down the basics of what you really need to know for this career field. So it's a really good starting point. I would say. And then another one I would recommend would be the Google. It support it, which a lot of people are getting jobs off of that for some reason. And then the other one I would highly recommend for entry level. If you've already taken the a plus, if you've already taken security plus stuff like that, ISS. Certification AWS cloud practitioner. This is this one's hot. Because Amazon, if you didn't know, owns a large percentage of the market share for cloud. So they're competing against Google. They're competing against, Oracles in there now, but the biggest competitors is Microsoft and Google. Microsoft has Azure, their Azure product. And then Google has their own cloud based products and the go. Of the world are, and other companies are starting to use their cloud services, but the ones that they use the most is Amazon. I believe like Netflix, Netflix uses Amazon cloud services and then other like large organizations multi-billion dollar trillion dollar organizations are using, or either they already have their own cloud service or they're using Amazon Google or Microsoft Azure. So those are the three entry level certifications that I would recommend. Intermediate let's say you're already an it person. You've got three years under your belt doing it. You, your work on help desk, you work as a customer support. What would I recommend? I would recommend for entry level or intermediate is to go for a professional level certification. That's what I would recommend. That's a CIS S. Top one, especially if you're doing cyber security, I would recommend if you're networking, then you want to go with either a CCNA security or a CCNP security. I think they have a CCNP cloud and a CCMP video and all kind of other CCMP. These are not easy certifications, but CCMP is from Cisco. It's one of the highest sought after certifications out there. It. It's gonna pay you a lot of money. That's why I'm saying that you should do it. And on top of that, you're gonna really know what you're doing because and then a, they, Cisco owns a lot of the market share for networking technology. The only other one that comes close is like Huawei, which is in China and is banned in the us and parts of Europe. Their products are, and Juniper and I think Palo Alto or something like that, that even come close to their market share, but Cisco's the best. And so that's why we recommend that's one of the, one of the few vendor level certs out. You could get by yourself. You can get that one cert by itself. And then that would be incredible. Like it would. It will butter your bread. It will. It's gonna pay your bills. it's and then expert low level certifica. Oh, another one for intermediate would be there's red hat certifications that if you happen to be a red hat person and then there's Microsoft, if you, so once you get intermediate. Entry level is gonna be like basic stuff that you need to know. But once you get into intermediate territory or professional level territory, you have, you're going to drill down into one or two products. Like you're gonna be really good on one or two products. You're not gonna be a master of everything. So once you get to that level you're gonna wanna get a professional level cert in that field that you're in. If you happen to do Microsoft, you're gonna get I don't know what they're calling it now. MCs. MCSE. Is that still valid? I haven't done Microsoft in a while, so I might be wrong. Let me see CSE and correct me if I'm wrong, guys, if I'm okay. Cuz I know that they changed it recently. Yes. Still MCSE. Okay. They have different. Okay. It's definitely evolved quite a bit. MCSE and MCSA yeah, that's a professional level cert as well. And then Cisco has CCMP so you'd wanna go deeper into whatever product that, once you get to the professional level, then at the expert level. That's very specialized typically. So an expert level cert would be would be a C, C I E. And a lot of people, most people don't have it. It's like the equivalent of a PhD. Not many people get those because they're super, super hard. And it takes a toll outta your life. It's serious. So C I E if you're in, if you're in networking, another one would be. I think there's an there's one in hacking called the O S C E, which is super high level. I don't know much about it. I just know it's a high level expert level certification. And then there's GS E which also not many people have, cuz it's just super expensive and super hard to get. So you've got entry level certifications, which are usually called like core CompTIA calls 'em core. They're. Entry level or associate, then you've got professional level certifications. They're called the usually professional level certifications or intermediate certifications. And then you got expert level certifications. What do you think about the IBM certification on a program on KRS Coria? So I already answered this one, but your quick answer would be that I don't think it's a very popular certification. I'm not trying to hate on IBM certification. Now, if you, if it happens to be your first certification, it just add a caveat to it. If it happens to be your first certification, go for it. If it's your first certification, you're trying to learn it and they're giving it out for free. It won't hurt to go ahead and try it. But as far as if you got the certification, would it be marketable? I don't know how marketable it's gonna be like a security plus will be way more marketable. I'm just telling you guys honestly like a, that IBM certification is not on any, it's not on the D O D approved list. It's not, I just heard about it on TikTok. It must be. They're giving it out for free because more than one person has asked me about it. If you happen to be learning this, go for it. If you're like learning this from scratch, go for it, do it. But if you wanna level up at some point, take that one and then do the security plus security. Plus once you get that certification under your belt, it's marketable. Like you could put it on your resume. And get a job. So I don't know if you can do the same with IBM cyber security. I'm not trying to hate on it or anything, but go, I'm saying, go for it. IBM is dope. I just putting IBM actually IBM itself is a key word that you could put on your resume. So IBM itself would be good to put on your resume. IBM security program. I'm sure it, it would make you a little bit more marketable than you are. If you don't already have it on there. That's my 2 cents on it. Cisco does have some free search too. I'm not sure if they're already covered. Oh, really? I didn't know that. Cisco has a C E N T, which is an entry level certification. I think that one's pretty good. And then. Above the CC E and T you have a CCNA and then above CCNA, you have specializations of CCNA, and then you have a CC N P, which is a professional level cert, which goes pretty deep on different technologies. Yeah that's the whole thing then CC I E is like expert level, top tier type certification. I've known a few people who have the C I E, but they're pretty rares. I've known a lot more people who have the CCMP or a CCNA as matter of fact, I've had a CCNA before. Okay. Let me see here. Let me see if I got any more questions or stuff I want to talk about. Okay. Here's one. I wanted to talk about the pros and cons of cybersecurity. If you guys are interested in joining a call that I have right now on YouTube, feel free to jump on. This broadcast on YouTube on just go to YouTube type in combo courses. You'll see me there. And then I will a give you a link if you're interested in this. And if not, that's cool. Let me see, I'm gonna talk to you guys about the pros and cons of it. For, I get a lot of people who are contacting me, who are new to this and who want to get in this field. And I feel like one of the questions they should ask is what are the pros and cons of this, especially if they happen to. A nurse or a teacher or some other profession trying to get in this security field in this field as a cyber security person or it person, what are the pros and cons of this and the pros and cons of it really depends on, I think, on where you're coming from. If you happen to be in the service based industry and you're dealing with a client, a lot of clients and you happen to not to hate to. Love dealing with people. You happen to be an extrovert. You love interacting with people, and it's just boring where you don't have anybody to talk to makes the day go by faster. If you have somebody to talk to then one of the negative things about can be with it is that you sometimes you're isolated. Sometimes your. Sometimes a job makes it so that you're actually isolated to where, for example when I was a network engineer, we just, sometimes we'd be in the com closet, the computer, the communications closet hooking up wires all day. And I wouldn't see a person. I wouldn't see a human for six hours a day, like four hours. I'd be in this computer room, this cold computer room. With no windows fixing a router, just trying to, trying to fix the iOS on a router and backing the router up and stuff like that. And it would take all day cuz it be something wrong with it. For whatever reason, it's not connecting to the next rest of the network. I'm connecting a bunch of systems to it. Or I'm trying to figure out which wire's not working or. Or I'm trying to turn on port security on a bunch of ports or something on a switch. Like I'd just be messing tinkering with this thing for hours. If you happen to be an extrovert, that can be a negative thing. If you really like interacting with people, that's one of the negative things about it, but. It really depends, cuz not all jobs are like that. It could be a positive thing if you happen to be an introvert, like you don't really want be in the industry, the service industry, for example, you just don't really want to talk to people you don't wanna really deal with this kind of stuff. Then it's perfect for you cuz you'll be in locked in a closet programming or something all day long so it really depends on what you wanna do? Pros and cons of it. Let me think of some other pros and cons of it. And if you guys happen to be in it, I wanna ask you guys, what are the pros and cons of being in information technology? What are the good things about in being in information technology and what are some of the bad things about being in information technology, please chime in. Feel free to talk to me about it. I'll read your comment on there, but another one good thing I would say. It is that it, it pays pretty good. Like even if you start off entry level and you're not getting paid really good after about a year, if you put that stuff on your resume, you work your resume, you can very quickly escalate to another level. And a lot of career paths don't have that kind, that level of they don't have that kind of progression built into the structure. Like I know that my I've got a few friends and family who were nurses. Who were doing nursing or they were CNAs or something like that. And I noticed their progression's a lot harder. Like it's really hard to go from say a certified nursing assistant to a nurse. There's a huge gap in pay and skillset. And there's just this huge gap between those two things you would think it's close. It's not close at all. Like a certified nursing assistant. Is a huge gap. Whereas in it, you can quickly progress one like one skill at a time and make a little bit more money, little bit more money, little bit more money. So that's one of the pros and DG five, one says remote working is a pro. Oh my Lord. That's a great one. That's a great point, man. Thank you for bringing that up. Remote work is one of the. Things about it, the it field in my personal opinion because a lot of people don't have that option. I think if you're a nurse, you'd be a traveling nurse and you can have remote work and then, but you're still traveling. You're still going to site and stuff like that. But with it, you can truly be remote, and there's networking jobs that remote, there's Infrastructure jobs that are remote there's cyber security jobs that are remote there's computer consulting jobs that are remote. I, that was my last position. There's cyber security that are remote risk assessments that are remote customer service, technical that are that's remote. There's so many remote positions and that's one of the great things about doing remote. Let me see. So somebody said somebody said, do you need computer science degree to start no. To do in cyber security or in it? No you don't need you don't need to have a degree to get into. To get into it. So the caveat to that is that I'm gonna prove it to you. I'm gonna show you some I'm gonna actually prove to and show you what exactly what I'm saying is true. So do you need that kind of those kind of computer? So first of all, let's break this down. A computer science degree. It typically the courses typically focus on software engineering. Okay. Computer science. I don't even have a computer science degree and I've been doing it for 20 years and I'm making six figures working from home. Okay. I have a bachelor's degree in information technology, but I know people who have a bachelor's degree in information systems. I know people who had math degrees, actually I know people with double's that's a electrical engineer who are working in this field as cyber security. So typically. If there are, if they are looking for a degree, you don't even have to have a computer science degree or a cyber security degree. You just need something in stem, which is science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. If you have that with a little bit of experience, you can get, you can get in there and make really good money. Now that being said, There are jobs that don't require a degree at all. Now let me qualify that. So they do expect you to either travel a lot or learn very quickly, or have a G E D high school equivalent or. Be working on a degree or have a certification or have a certain skill set. They usually want you to have something without a degree. And it's probably not gonna pay as much. That being said, two of my mentors who taught me all kinds of stuff did not have a degree. And they were the highest paid guys in the room at any given time, but they were brilliant. They were brilliant. They were coming outta the military with three, four years of experience. They were the main person everybody was relying on. So I'm just trying to qualify this, but now let me show you where jobs, where you don't need a degree working in it. So what I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna go to a, I'm gonna go to a Job search engine. And I'm gonna show you how you can find these jobs where it doesn't need a degree. Now it does need you to know you gotta do the work. They're gonna expect you to know exactly what you're doing. So you gotta actually have some knowledge of it. I'm not saying you can just walk in off the street. This is not sweeping floors. You know what I mean? Like you have to know some stuff to come in to do this. So if you wanna follow along, let me just explain to you what I'm doing. Cause I've got people listening in on this as well. So what I'm doing is I just went to indeed dot. Okay. And I do job search. I remove the state. You gotta remove the state. Because sometimes it'll come up with your local state. If you happen, you can also do this on LinkedIn and go to the search results. And then what you're gonna type in is entry level entry level it, okay. That's all I'm typing in entry level it and. It'll come up with a bunch of stuff. Now we've got all kinds. Okay. Here's one help desk technician. What you're gonna do is you're gonna go down this list and look for positions that don't require a degree. So you'll go to the requirements. You'll go to each one of these jobs. I clicked on one called help desk technician. And it's in it's remote job in Missouri and there's, here's their requirements. They said proven experience with help desk and customer service role customer. Customer oriented in difficult situations. Tech savvy must be able to be a part of a team be able to speak proficiency in English communication skills and it's a 40,000 to 60,000 per year job. They're not saying anything about a degree. This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about. And what all I did was typed in entry level. It that's, this is the kind of jobs you can get. You don't actually need a degree. And that's another positive thing about it is that you, it's. So in demand that a lot of times you don't actually need a degree, but you're gonna have to look for those jobs. And in addition You you're gonna have to know what you're doing because you saw that what they wanted you to have was a proficiency in actually fixing the computers. And they're looking for you to already have one to two, two to three years. Actually they're saying here in a position that said, or one year experience. For entry level positions, and there's all kinds of positions like this that you can find, but you gotta know what you're doing. You gotta do your due diligence. And that's why I always tell people, Hey, go for an a plus certification, cuz it's gonna break down the fundamentals of what you really need to get into this field, to get in an entry level position, just like this. All right. I've got some people who are joining me on YouTube. Let me just read a couple of these questions here. Somebody said Tony said. Thanks Tony for the comment he says I work in cyber security and I have a criminal justice degree. I have a criminal justice degree. I have a C I S P. That's awesome. That's incredible. Tony, you should are you actually working in the field right now? Do you have a job in information technology and what's the status of that? Is it doing pretty good? I would be really interested in this. When I was in the military, I worked as a. As a security forces member, where I had associate's degree in criminal justice. And I was like, man, I don't wanna get out and be a police officer. This is, it was a tough job. Like it was not an easy job, mad respect to police officers, cuz that's a thankless job where your customers. Hate your guts. and you're dealing with the worst parts of society. A lot of times you're going and you're going in an and. Talking to people on their worst day of their life. And so they're not usually in their best frame of mind. It's a hard, it's a hard job, I know all the stuff going on with police officers today, and I'm not at any, at all, trying to justify some of the bad police officers that are out there cuz there's there's like right now, this is the epidemic and the police department's defend these guys. I'm not saying that stuff is good. Like with some of the stuff that's happening, it's good at all. When I was in, they, when I was in the military, they, if you slipped up at all, they weren't did not have your back. You were, they threw you right under the bus. Like you better you were held to a higher standard. And that's how I think police officers, the whole industry should be, but it's not, that's not what's happening. That being said, mad respect to that profession because it's very difficult and not everybody can do that. And I wish they would stop putting people in those positions that don't, that shouldn't be police officers cuz that's what's happening. Okay. Tony says I'm actually a cyber security manager at oh KPMG. That's one of the top big four. That's one of the big four, one of the top. If I'm not mistaken, that's one of the top accounting firms in the us. There's four there's de. There's ston young there's P KPMG. And then there's one more. I can't remember what the other one is. If you guys can remember what it is, please chime in. He says he acts as a cyber security manager at the okay. That's awesome, man. I do. I work in GRC work. So what kind of things do you guys do? Do you guys. So that means you're in the financial sector. Do you guys have a system security plan where is that a, it's a package where you put all the security controls into one package and then you get the system authorized. I'm sure you guys have risk assessments. You guys have things like continuous monitoring. You guys have things like, but do you guys have like a system security plan where it's. All of the documentation for all the controls are put in one place in a database. And that's shared out to the organization for some sort of approval with your C level execs and for the agency to approve that system. I'm very curious that you got, if you guys have something like that, do you guys also use Sarbanes Oxley? That's a, if you didn't know, that's a security compliance set of rules. That banks, financial institutions, investing institutions use to make sure that the organization's doing what they're supposed to do. I'm very curious about that, Tony. And while you're answering that one, let me see somebody else. Ask me another question. They said anyone trying to get into cyber and it. Should get in the help desk. That's yeah. That's definitely a big step up. It's a great way to learn the foundation that you need to get ahead. Oh man. SS that's some great advice. Great advice. Okay. So while I'm waiting on Tony to respond, I think I'm gonna go to assess this comment. So you work in KPMG. And then you said you work in GRC. Okay. I don't know if Tony's gonna respond. So let me just go to SS. So SS says anyone trying to get into cyber and it should get into help desk. It's a great way to learn foundations. It needed to get ahead. Absolutely. Another thing I would add to that is that if you do help desk for some time to help desk, okay. So there's a lot of different names for help desk. You've got customer support, technical customer support. You've got field tech, one field tech two, you've got a lot of different names for a help desk person, but essentially it's the first line of defense. Outside the user themselves, the first line to defense in the organization, the first person somebody calls. When their computer is not working properly or it needs to be updated and something went wrong or they need a backup, a quick backup of a desktop or a laptop or something like that. Or they need to reconfigure their laptop or re-image the laptop or something. That's the, when they call the number, it goes to help desk. That's the first person that they're contacting. It really is great for your resume because it's gonna give you. Like one, two years of experience where you actually get exposure to networking, you get experience with a little bit of a little bit of cloud technology. If they have that in environ environment, you get a little bit of, you might even get to touch on servers, some net routers and cyber security, of course. So you just gotta put all that stuff on your resume. So that after about a year of work with that, Being on the help desk being on the front lines of that organization, that you can go ahead and level up after about a year. So yeah, a help desk was my actual first position on the job training. It was. That was incredible. Like that experience I don't take it for granted. Like when I was there, I was just wanting to jump into routers or do firewalls or something like that, something specialized, but that foundational knowledge and skillset that I got of troubleshooting. And trying to figure out basic problems on those computers in a production environment, that experience, and that exposure allowed me to get into things like do deeper dives into things like networking. Cuz I did network engineering for a while. It allowed me to do deeper dives into. Learning to build a software in a real environment, like how to, how not to develop software in different environments, like webpages and stuff and web applications and things like that. We didn't have that many back then, but from time to time we had to touch those. So those are some of the stuff that I learned on the help desk. I would SS I would definitely agree with you on. All right. I've been talking for a little bit. I really wanted to test out I'm on this new thing where I can actually have people call in. I'm gonna keep using this until I can get people to call in and add their 2 cents on. On things like cyber security and security compliance, maybe next week, we'll do this again and then have people call in. But if you're interested in calling in at some point give me your email and then I'll let you call in and I'll let you speak. On all this stuff. And but for today, I think that's about it. Thank you guys so much for your questions. Thank you for your comments. Thanks, SS. Thanks Tony. And all the people on TikTok. Wow. There's a lot of interaction on TikTok with just a very few people who've been follow me. So thank you guys for that, but I'm gonna close this thing out. Thank you so much. Let's close out TikTok first in the live show. And then I was also live on the podcast that's over and thanks so much once again, as always. Thank you so much for joining me on YouTube.

He's passionate about communicating the gospel in ways that bring the scriptures alive for people navigating the challenging intersection of faith and life in our contemporary, ever-changing culture. Scholtz believes that the building of radically inclusive, richly diverse missional communities of reconciliation and hope is a key need for our time. Christ-centered servant leadership, solidarity with the poor, empowering the voiceless, celebrating diversity, non-judgmentalism, compassion for the earth, creative storytelling, laughter and authentic worship are essential values for realizing this vision to which he is deeply committed. Scholtz has a PhD in Biblical Studies, and serves on the faculty as an adjunct at the Seth Mokitimi Methodist Seminary in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. He is an advocate for the full inclusion of LGBTIQA people within the church, and has been at the forefront of the MCSA's doctrinal engagement with the LGBTIQA conversation for the past fourteen years.

Luiz Felipe Ferreira recebe mais uma vez Luciano Lima para uma conversa sobre o seu livro: "Simulados para a Certificação CompTIA CySA+ CS0-001". Sobre a certificação CompTIA CySA+ Segundo Luciano, dois fatores contribuíram para a criação da certificação CySA+: a existência de uma lacuna entre a Certificação Security+ (considerada de nível de entrada) e a CASP (nível avançado), e o surgimento de novas tecnologias e nomenclaturas entre os lançamentos dessas certificações. A CySA+ é considerada como uma certificação de nível intermediário, indicada como o próximo passo para quem já possui a Security+. Ela também está presente no Roadmap para Certificações em Segurança da Informação da Clavis. Sobre o livro Luciano comenta que após o sucesso do livro de simulados para a certificação Security+, tema do episódio 44, muitos que foram aprovados neste exame começaram a pressioná-lo para lançar um livro, também de simulados, mas agora para a CySA+. Luciano sugere o treinamento oficial da certificação disponível no site da Clavis, que somado ao livro oficial do Yuri Diógenes e o seu livro de simulado, fazem a combinação mais indicada para a aprovação no exame. No segundo semestre de 2018, dois novos livros serão lançados pelo Luciano, aguarde! Luciano Lima tem 20 anos de experiência profissional com foco em produtos, tecnologias e segurança da informação da Microsoft. Atualmente é Head of Presales LatAm at Kaspersky Lab. Possui diversas certificações: MCP, MCSA, MCSE, Segurança MCSA, Segurança MCSE no Windows 2000 Server e Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Most Valuable Professional no Windows Server (2004 a 2007), Microsoft Most Valuable Professional em Enterprise Security (2007 a 2017), CISSP, csaE (CompTIA Security Analytics Expert), CompTIA CASP, CSA+, Security +, CEH e ITIL V3 Foundation. Tambem é o autor dos livros: - Guia de Certificação MCSE do Windows XP Professional; - Simulados para uma Certificação CompTIA Security + SY0-401; - Simulados para a Certificação CompTIA Analista de Segurança Cibernética (CSA +) - CS0-001.

Today, we're talking lifelong learning, that is, how to continue growing your superpowers, whether you're interested in taking the next step in your career, feeding your side hustle, or an amazing new hobby. Plus, we'll share our Windows Insiders can access exclusive free courses on LinkedIn Learning. Our first guest is "the" ultimate lifelong learner. She took a break from her busy job at LinkedIn to share pro tips for acquiring at least three new skills every year. SAVANNAH BARRY: I'm Savannah Barry, and I am a marketing manager at LinkedIn, and I work primarily on LinkedIn Learning. JASON HOWARD: Awesome. Welcome to the studio. SAVANNAH BARRY: Thank you. Thank you for having me. JASON HOWARD: So, we've heard from our colleagues at LinkedIn that you are "the" ultimate lifelong learner and are really savvy in terms of being able to work on new skills to grow your career. Would you mind sharing with everybody your method for doing this? SAVANNAH BARRY: Yeah, totally. So, I'm just a curious person in general. If there is a problem that I come across, I'm very eager to learn how to fix it. I have a hard time, like, just kind of stepping back and saying, "Like, okay, like, someone else handle this problem." Which I think has driven me to be naturally a very curious learner, and kind of have a desire to learn a lot. So when I first joined, I actually joined the Lynda.com team prior to LinkedIn acquiring Lynda.com, and I worked on our enterprise marketing team there. And a great example about what I did there was we needed some e-mails to be coded, and we had to basically rely on an engineering team to build them. And I was, like, "This is not efficient, I cannot get stuff done in the timely manner that I would like it to be." So I basically taught myself how to code e-mails, which I had no idea how to do. But I had a need. I had a problem I needed to overcome, I had some campaigns I wanted to ship, and yeah, I spent months after work learning HTML, taking courses on Lynda, LinkedIn Learning, reading books -- just like basically picking my fiancée's brain, like, "Please teach me how to do this." And at the end of the day, you know, I think it, in general, has made me a better marketer. That's a great example of just like one very tactical thing I did. But I reserve an hour out of my week, every single week, to learn. Truly, I have a calendar invite on Friday, it actually will be after this podcast, where I will basically just reserve at least an hour just to sit down and read something that's like relatable to my career, watch an online course, listen to a podcast -- really, anything that can kind of help me achieve my goals, which I think that has been on my calendar as long as I can remember, so that's kind of how I can carve out time. JASON HOWARD: Well, it sounds like you have a bit of a system -- almost like you've planned out time to go and learn new things. Can you describe some of the, like, the mindset and the process you have behind that? SAVANNAH BARRY: Yeah. I think just knowing that you need to make the time, like, kind of just clearing things out of your brain, off of your desk. I actually go to like a different place. I'll go to a coffee shop, I'll go to a different room in my house, just kind of find a place where I feel a little bit inspired, just to really sit down and focus on the task at hand. So, for example, right now, I'm learning UX design. So I got a bunch of books. And this all stemmed because I was using an app and I was, like, getting really frustrated at it. And I was, like, "Why am I getting so frustrated at this app?" And there's such a psychology behind how we, like, interact with things. And I was very keen to understand. So that is currently what I'm doing. And I have a book in my car that I will be diving into when I get done here, and probably go into a coffee shop or something and read. JASON HOWARD: So one of the things that I was kind of told on the side is that you have a vision board, right? And you list personal and professional skills -- SAVANNAH BARRY: Yes. JASON HOWARD: -- that you want to learn. What prompted that? Where did that come from? I don't have a whiteboard at home, so -- I mean, you know, you might inspire me to go out to Staples or something and go get a whiteboard this afternoon. SAVANNAH BARRY: Yes. I personally think that everyone needs vision boards. I try to make my family and friends make vision boards with me. It hasn't really caught on with them as much as it's caught on with me. (Laughter.) But this year, I actually did it on a whiteboard, and I like drew out what I wanted to do. So I draw, like, pictures and goals and just what I want my year to look like. And that always consists of three professional and three personal things I want to learn. So where did it start? I think I was like in college and one of my psychology classes, like, talking about vision boards or something -- I don't know. I don't even remember where -- exactly where it started, but I've been doing it since I was in college. I used to make my roommates in college do it with me and cut out pictures from magazines and glue them on paper. We'd go get the hot pink, big poster boards -- JASON HOWARD: Oh, goodness, yeah. SAVANNAH BARRY: -- and like glue stuff on there. Yeah, I did that. JASON HOWARD: It's almost like a high school collage. SAVANNAH BARRY: Yeah. But then when I joined LinkedIn, we have these things called "in days" where we have basically one day out of a month where we focus on doing something outside of your job. So every January, it's like a vision "in day." So they actually encourage you to make mood boards. Like, okay, perfect. (Laughter.) So started doing it at work and now I work at home, so now I have a little bit of a different vision board area, but yeah, it's truly pictures, words, things that just inspire me and kind of keep me motivated throughout the day, throughout the year, and just a way to kind of keep myself accountable for the goals I set early on in the year and just really make sure that those are staying top of mind for me throughout the day. JASON HOWARD: Was this something that you did individually? Did your team come together and you kind of like group -- encouraged each other? Like, what was that process like? SAVANNAH BARRY: Yeah, it was a little bit individual, but I definitely tried to source feedback from, like, my manager, my peers, like, here's kind of what I'm doing, do you have any ideas on, like, professional goals that I should maybe focus on for next year? This year, one of my learning goals is SEO and SEM, which I haven't really gotten my feet wet with yet, but my manager was basically, like, "Hey, here's something that would be pretty interesting I think for you to learn." And so that's another thing that I'll be focusing on. JASON HOWARD: I'm assuming SEO being search engine optimization? SAVANNAH BARRY: Yes. Yes. Yes. JASON HOWARD: Okay. SAVANNAH BARRY: Thank you for clarifying. (Laughter.) JASON HOWARD: No, hey, I mean, you know, this is my Microsoft, we use acronyms like they're going out of style. (Laughter.) So can you tell me a little bit about, like, your decision-making process? You said in this circumstance, you know, your manager, you know, you sought some feedback to help you guide down that path, right? And, obviously, there's things that you come up with on your own that you want to learn. So how do you decide what's going to be the best use of your time? Because, I mean, that's kind of the limiting or deciding factor here is you have to make the time to do it, so where does that decision process come from? SAVANNAH BARRY: Yeah, you know, I really try to focus on things that I think will help me become the professional that I want to be, and really the person that I want to be. I think about, "Where do I want to be in five years, and like, what skills will help me get there?" So I do a lot of research. I read a lot of blogs, I do a lot of peer research, asking around, like, people who are in jobs that maybe I aspire to be in, like, what are some skills that they think helped shape their career, take them to the next level? And I usually start with a pretty long list. I'll, like, throughout the year, I'll have, like, a running Word doc and I'll just put stuff in there, and then I can reevaluate and say, "Okay, here are the things that actually feel tactical for the year." The UX one was definitely not on my list, it just like -- my, like, obsession with, like, how I'm interacting with things, I was, like, I need to. This is a learning thing that I need to do, and I do think it'll make me a better marketer at the end of the day. So that was an off-the-cuff add to the list. JASON HOWARD: Wait, so when you look at the concept of lifelong learning, on the surface, it seems like this great goal, everybody should be doing it, but given, you know, we mentioned time a minute ago, some of the listeners are going to sit back and say, "Hey, you know what? I'm crazy busy, I have laundry to do, I've got work, I've got kids, I've got family, I've got to feed the dog." Right? You know, I had to get up at 6:00 in the morning, it feels like I don't get to sit down until 10:00, 11:00 at night. And it was never my time for me to invest in myself. So how do you stay motivated to make that time? How do you drive yourself to make sure that you put it on the list of things that you absolutely have to do? SAVANNAH BARRY: Totally. I think that everyone is very busy, and I think that's, like, in general, a big blocker to learning for people. I've just found ways that it organically works in my life. So I listen to podcasts a lot. I'll find relevant podcasts that are aligned to something that I'm currently learning. And maybe that week I can only listen to a podcast while I'm walking my dog. Like, that's all I can do. And that's okay. Every action you take and every step that you take I think is part of your learning journey, and not everyone has an hour a week to carve out for learning, and that's okay. If it's bi-weekly, if it's once a month doing two hours a day, I think that, in general, if you need your support of your friends and family and managers, like, it's fun to make it a little bit more of a collaborative experience. Like, "Hey, guys, I want to make time for learning, you guys should, too." And I think that also helps create a little bit more accountability, and also maybe frees up some time for you, if everyone around you knows that it's a priority. JASON HOWARD: So how has learning helped you professionally? SAVANNAH BARRY: Well, in general, I think -- I've gotten a couple promotions within my role just specifically because I've been able to go above and beyond of what my normal job consists of. I think it -- in general, it's made me a great cross-functional partner. I mean, a lot of the work that I do in marketing, and I'm sure a lot of other marketers out there, is very cross-functional. You're working with a ton of different people, a ton of different teams, and I think my desire to understand HTML, desire to understand SQL, desire to, like, understand some of these things that maybe I'm not using a ton, but other people are, has really helped me to be a more empathetic partner, to be a more constructive feedback-giver, it's just really helped me a lot in, like, developing really strong relationships. So I feel really lucky that I actually work on a learning product, it's kind of crazy, it's truly the perfect job, I love it. But, yeah, I think it's just that curiosity and that desire to always want to be doing more and really just -- that curious mind. And I think it has helped me in my career, and it's allowed me to start doing like more of a different marketing role. And I was, like, "Ooh! This marketing role looks interesting." And so I started learning and developing and asking people who did that job, like, "What does your day-to-day look like?" And I was able to move into that role with not having the total skillset that I needed to have, but I think my managers felt confident that I knew what I was doing, and I could handle it. And if I couldn't handle it, I would learn how to do it. (Laughter.) JASON HOWARD: So one important question that I want other ask you is: How do you inspire somebody else to learn? Through the conversation that we've had, it seems a big piece of it is you have to have some of this natural desire, right? If you're not the curious type, it sounds like it could be much more difficult to kind of get personally inspired. It's almost like you need to look externally for some of that motivation. You mentioned mentoring. That's one of the things that's really important here at Microsoft is the concept of having a mentor, finding somebody who's in a space, hopefully outside of what you're doing, because at least within this company, there's a lot of leaning on your team, leaning on your peers, like partner teams, and you kind of naturally build up some of that learning along the way as you work with other people, but having somebody outside of the circle of which you normally focus on, they can give you a much different perspective. You know, obviously, this is a bit work focused, but they can give you a much different perspective than the way that you are accustomed to looking at things. SAVANNAH BARRY: I 100 percent agree. I think something that's been really valuable for me is having those mentors who can help me look at what is outside of my narrow range of focus. And as a mentor, that's something that I strive to do, too, is say, "Hey, like, what do you want to do? What do you want to learn? What do you want to be, you know, five year -- two years, next month? What do you want to be doing day to day?" And if that doesn't align with what you're doing now, then how can we really set you up for success to be where you want to be? What are those skills you need to learn to get that promotion? What are those skills you need to make a horizontal move? And I think learning can be tied to your professional goals. And I think so often we lose sight of what those goals are. I mean, everyone is busy. Work is crazy, personal lives are crazy, your kids are running all over the house. Like, things are crazy. But I think if you keep in mind those goals and talk to someone, find someone in a different organization or different company, reach out to someone on LinkedIn and just say, "Hey, I like what you're doing." I find myself reaching out to a lot of people on LinkedIn to just say, "Hey, I saw this blog post, would love to know how you went from this job to this job. Do you have five minutes?" I just had coffee last night with a friend who reached out to me because he wanted to learn more about what I'm doing professionally. Like, he wants to make a career change. And he's, like, "Hey, tell me about some of the skills you acquired to be able to do that. Help me out.” So I think just learning on other people and keeping true to your goals and keeping true to who you are, that's really what motivates me. JASON HOWARD: Do you have any suggestions on getting people started? SAVANNAH BARRY: Yeah, I mean, it depends on what you're trying to learn. I rely on our LinkedIn Learning, like our own product a lot when I'm thing to learn more of, like, the technical skills that I want for my professional career. An example, we have instructional designers on our team who basically build out this learning path, and it basically takes you through nine hours of learning, which is a lot, and not everyone has that -- like, it's a collection of courses that it shows you and tells you, "Hey, here's what to expect. Here's what you're going to be learning." You can kind of see the courses that you're going to be taking. And you can say, "Okay, this is a very easy way for me to get started." I mean, that's what I started doing for UX, I'm deciding to read this book in parallel. That's what I'll be doing for SEO. We have a learning path on LinkedIn learning that I'll be using. That's what I did for HTML, it's what I did for SQL. So I think there's people who have done a lot of the legwork for you, and I think just finding a resource that aligns with what you're trying to achieve. So figure out that skill. What are some of the most in-demand skills? What's going to take you to that next level? And then find out where you can learn it. Learning paths are a really, really great, easy way to absorb information, and it's a lot of information. When I first looked at it, I was like, "Okay, ten hours, wow. Okay." But when you actually think about it, that's the whole learning journey right there, that's it all. Right there, in front of your face, you can look at it on your phone, I listen to just the audio sometimes if it's like more of a soft skill. There's lots of ways to really engage with learning. JASON HOWARD: Well, before we wrap up here. Any final words of advice or life tidbits or any other awesome vision board things you want to share with the listeners? SAVANNAH BARRY: Oh, gosh. Life tidbits? I mean, I would just always stay curious, always ask questions, and just keep learning, and have fun while doing it. I just urge everyone to stay curious. JASON HOWARD: Awesome. Thanks, Savannah. Thank you so much for your time today. SAVANNAH BARRY: Thank you. JASON HOWARD: Appreciate you being here. Hopefully, the listeners have enjoyed this as much as I have. SAVANNAH BARRY: Yes, me too. Thank you. JASON HOWARD: Cheers. SAVANNAH BARRY: Bye. JASON HOWARD: For tech professionals, keeping up with the latest knowledge is everything. Have you ever wanted to know if becoming a Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert would be worthwhile? What about how to tackle the amazing and sometimes overwhelming options to learn at Microsoft Ignite? We talk shop with our next guest, Aaron Buckley, a Windows Insider and IT pro at the company Alex and Ani based in Rhode Island. Good morning, Aaron, welcome to the Windows Insider Podcast. AARON BUCKLEY: Good morning. JASON HOWARD: So, tell us about your career as an IT pro. AARON BUCKLEY: Yeah, sure. I got my start in IT working at my college help desk. That evolved into my actual career path. Even though I was not studying IT in academia. And so now at my current company, Alex and Ani, I kind of jokingly refer to myself as an "army of one," particularly with client management and devices. I am running our Intune mobile device management, I am also architecting and governing System Center Configuration Manager, and I am in charge of leading the charge for Windows 10. We're upgrading from a bunch of 7 and 8.1 machines. JASON HOWARD: That is definitely an interesting career path. I've got to tell you, you said that you didn't go study IT in college. I'm actually in that same boat, right? It's something that I haven't talked about on any of the podcasts before, but I was fortunate enough to go to university, and my degree is in economics. Right? And here I am working at -- AARON BUCKLEY: Economics? JASON HOWARD: Yeah. And here I am working at Microsoft, right? Trust me, I did not see that one coming. AARON BUCKLEY: I might be able to beat you in terms of relevance. My degree -- I got a double bachelor's degree in psychology and in political science. (Laughter.) JASON HOWARD: All right. AARON BUCKLEY: So I'm not sure how I got to IT. JASON HOWARD: You took a left turn at Missoula, man. AARON BUCKLEY: It's a passion. (Laughter.) Yeah. I should say, you know, while I had my interest in academia, I've always been an enthusiast for technology. And so I actually consider myself really, really lucky that as my career, I'm doing what I love. And I know that that's kind of aspirational for a lot of people. I somehow achieved this, I'm really proud. JASON HOWARD: So I have had the pleasure of speaking with you before. We actually met at Ignite last year at the Windows Insider booth. We had several Insider roundtables, met you there, learned a little bit about you there and obviously, you know, happy to have you back and actually get to talk to you on a more one-to-one type basis here. Through some of that conversation, you know, found out that you're a Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert. Side note for our audience. You may be asking yourself, "What is a Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert, or MCSE?" These are folks who have achieved a Microsoft certification that validates they have the skills needed in a particular area -- for example, app development or cloud infrastructure. Aaron, can you tell us why tackling the certification was important for your career? AARON BUCKLEY: That's a good question because I've got to tell you, some of these exams, I think they were actually tougher than writing some of my 25- or 30-page term papers. (Laughter.) For the first couple years of my post-college, entry-level workforce, I was at the help desk level. And through just demonstrating my technical competency, I got to be a level-three help desk, or escalation technician. But it was really at the point where -- I remember the conversation. I went to my boss and I didn't throw it down, but I handed him my certification saying that, "Wow, yeah, I really am an MCSE." And it was actually a couple weeks after that that I got my first post-help-desk promotion. And at that point I joined my company's system engineering team. And that stuck out to me because I wouldn't tell people that you have to have a certification in order to jump to higher levels in your technical career path, but it was a milestone and a marker that I was able to hand my leadership, and they were able to say, "Wow, you not only have you demonstrated to us that you know this information, but you somehow convinced Microsoft that you know that technology." (Laughter.) And so that, I think, was really important. That was fundamental. I'm going to admit that I definitely failed my last MCSE exam three times before I finally nailed it on the fourth attempt. And let me tell you, when I walked outside having finally passed my certification, I screamed at the sky I was so happy. (Laughter.) I mean it when I say that I think these MCSEs gave me more of a challenge that some of my college courses and final exams. You guys are not messing around. JASON HOWARD: So, no doubt, you've obviously gained a lot through this process personally, and of course it's impacted you professionally. So kind of on a broader scale, for others out there who may be considering something like this, what is some of the extra value you see in getting this type of certification? How would you apply it more broadly? AARON BUCKLEY: Jumping to college for a second, a lot of times people emphasize at the point of going through, like, structured college courses is to really build up someone's critical thinking skills and the way that they approach problems. I would apply that same sort of ethos to the certification process. I think that the way that I approach confounds now in my system or broadly in IT is strengthened by some of the problem-solving processes I picked up through the certification process. Not just the particulars of my certification path, like, "Oh, of course, that's where you go in the SCCM console for that." But also just advancing my core understanding of basic troubleshooting steps. Like there's an awareness of knowledge that you get going through these certification processes that I think really just levels up someone's engineering perspective, or their troubleshooting perspective. I'm trying to think of the right way to describe this. It's almost like a refining of the way that I approach problem-solving. Does that make sense? JASON HOWARD: Yeah, absolutely. If I'm interpreting some of what you said correctly, it's -- part of it is learning the actual materials that you're reading through, right? Some of it's going to be new stuff, you'll pick it up along the way, you'll get a chance to, you know, take a preview build and go tinker around and see how it works and see how it functions. But on top of actually covering just the specific materials, it's changing the way you think about what you do already and you've found some ways to kind of tweak and enhance and gives you new products in just some of your day-to-day type activities. AARON BUCKLEY: Absolutely. And I think that's something that Microsoft in the certification process does really well, and I think it's part of Microsoft's intent. As you're going through these certifications, they're updated constantly, like, I think yearly. Like, the questions you're asked, the technologies you're asked about. And I can definitely say that the actual certification and testing process has made available to me the various ways that I can solve particular problems. Like, for example, there have been a couple of times where, after going through my Windows 8 MCSA, I realized that there were so many things I was doing wrong, or just not doing the best way with even just customizing a Windows image. And then I take some of that that I've learned and I'm, you know, using PowerShell to strip out -- sorry Microsoft -- the default Modern applications that are in your corporate image. Maybe my users don't need Candy Crush pre-installed. But even then, like, a recent example would be a problem that I have at my company is that we have a bunch of iOS devices that I have governed through SCCM and Intune, sort of your hybrid solution. And we've run into some issues because iOS devices, we have no way to govern updates for them, and that's important because my company has a number of line-of-business apps that are made for certain versions of IOS. Testing might not be fully complete for updating that app to the next version of iOS. Well, I mean, it turns out that I learned in some of my recent certifications that testing that Intune standalone, Intune based in the Azure portal does have these iOS update policies. So now that has directly informed me for the next six months or so that I have some architectural changes I'm going to be making to my device management and governance structure. And that's something that I probably wouldn't have known right off the bat unless it was being made available to me through this process. Just one example. JASON HOWARD: That's awesome. AARON BUCKLEY: Really helpful, actually. (Laughter.) JASON HOWARD: So I'm going to shift gears on you a little bit here. On top of just certifications and things of that nature, obviously Microsoft has many events throughout the year. Right? We have Build, we have Ignite. I mentioned at the beginning of the show, you know, I actually had met you I person last year at Ignite. What do you think about these types of events? For somebody who hasn't been to Ignite before, say they're presented with the opportunity this year, right? Do you have any, like, extra tips for them to try to get the most out of the experience? AARON BUCKLEY: I have been privileged enough, and really it is a privilege to have been able to attend two Microsoft Ignite conferences. Certainly, I'm really hoping my company would send me for a third time this year. And that is because of how much I've learned. Ignite isn't a vacation, it's definitely a working trip. And my first trip to Ignite, I would look around and see everyone, you know, sitting on couches on their computers. And I'm, like, "What are you guys doing? There are so many trainings to do, and there's this event!" (Laughter.) No, no, no, they had the right idea, I understand why they are taking things they're learning from these hands-on opportunities and starting right away in their environments. I would recommend that people go through the actual schedule, it's up a month or so before the actual conference. Go through, pick out a good five or six knowledge areas that you are executing against in your company. Pick those areas and go through and add them all to your scheduler. I understand that at the end of that process, you are going to probably be triple or quadruple booked at probably every time slot available, but what I've found is that instead of trying to really structure my itinerary to Ignite, layer it all on and pretend you're Hermione Granger with the Time Turner and that you're going to attend them all because I've found that, you know, Microsoft does all of us a really great service by recording all these workshops. You're going to be able to attend one per time slot, you know, in person. Go to the one that you think that if you had the opportunity, you would like to talk to the people hosting those particular workshops. The other ones, if they're just technical deep dives or maybe introducing new technology, keep it on your schedule, but definitely be sure to go back on your own time after the crunch of the conference week is over, look through all those videos and actually catch up. Thank you, Microsoft, for providing this as a service. If you can't attend Ignite, I find that a lot of those videos also find their way to the Microsoft Mechanics site, also Microsoft Virtual Academy. And so all of that is available to you. I would also recommend that even if you've layered up your schedule, it can feel intimidating. Your phone's buzzing a lot with alerts for all these workshops and such. Be sure to actually allow yourself some down time, because it's not going to be helpful to you to be sitting through five straight hours of workshops and then you sit down at the end of the day, and you're trying to remember this massive information dump that you sat through. No, it's okay to actually skip a session here or there, some are on repeat later on in the week. I mean, it probably sounds a little cliché, but take care of yourself. Give yourself time to sit down at lunch, absorb the morning, and prepare yourself for the next round of workshops later on in the day. That's something that I did not do my first year, and I came back thinking that I somehow needed to, in a panic, restructure all of the systems in my company. There was this crazy anxiety that came from feeling so -- again, I said this word like three times, but so "empowered" by the experience at Ignite. That's some quick survival advice I'd give. Oh, and there's coffee everywhere, drink all the coffee. (Laughter.) JASON HOWARD: I don't drink coffee, but Mountain Dew, especially Diet Mountain Dew, is my best friend. Caffeine is a wonderful thing. (Laughter.) So kind of on a personal level for a moment, for you as an individual, what drives you to keep learning? AARON BUCKLEY: I'm constantly refining my processes. And as I gained more information, primarily from Ignite and these training videos, I am all the time sort of revising, refining, solving for efficiency, solving for capability -- all these things. And I've found maybe a little too much of a technologist at this point, but I found that that perspective has been informing me in the broader and broader aspects of my life including, you know, going to the gym and working out and a more healthy lifestyle. Even my personal finances and such. I've almost found that I'm taking this systems perspective and applying it to so many components of my life. I can't really help laugh at it sometimes, you know? In a good way. JASON HOWARD: Almost like the challenge of it is, in and of itself, a solid reward that keeps motivating you. AARON BUCKLEY: Oh, without question. I guess when I was growing up, I always had this fear of being stuck in a redundant, boring -- I've got to invoke, like, Office Space here, that sort of job situation. And so working in IT where -- I mean, depending on where you work, every day is a whole, bright, new crisis to solve. That's something I get a lot of personal and professional fulfillment out of. JASON HOWARD: Yeah, I have to say, obviously being a different person, I take some of that same challenge, and that's part of what keeps me interested in my job is each day that I log into Twitter and I talk to some Insiders, see what they have to say, did they like the newest build? What kind of crazy stuff did somebody find? And unless it's a broad, widespread issue, every day that I log in, I either learn something new, I meet somebody new. AARON BUCKLEY: Definitely. JASON HOWARD: I have the chance to learn something about Microsoft technology that I never knew because it's not something I had ever touched before. I'm going to be writing a blog post here pretty soon on the topic of legacy filter drivers, and you know, some bugs that we worked through. And it was before this bug came up, I honestly had never heard of it. I had interacted with them before, right, as an end user, but it was one of those things that it was just part of the operating system, part of the software I was using, and at the same time, you don't know what you don't know. Until I was faced with the need to learn it, I didn't know it was something that I needed to go and learn about. And now that I know more about it, it's fascinating. And I'm, like, "Oh, my goodness, there is a lot surrounding this." And it's amazing how -- without getting too deep into the technology side of it -- one little change can have some really big outcomes, whether those changes are expected, and sometimes unexpected. But the learning aspect of it is one of the key factors for me that keeps me really excited about my job because every time I get asked a question about something that I don't know about, it means that I have to go learn something. AARON BUCKLEY: It's a whole new rabbit hole. (Laughter.) JASON HOWARD: Yeah. What's something you, individually, are learning right now? AARON BUCKLEY: So, cars. I come from a working-class family. I have a couple uncles, a cousin, a grandfather who are all car mechanics. And so I'm a computer engineer, I eventually got so aggravated -- not on my current car, I love my car -- but an older car. The "check engine" light was constantly always on. And that is horrible for a computer technician. It's, like, "Oh, my God, there's an error message. There's an error code. I must fix." Instead of putting black electrical tape or something over the "check engine" light, I sort of started the conversations with my family of, "Okay, I need to replace this thing, Uncle. I don't want you to do it, this is my car, I'm used to fixing machines, I am informed by my passion for computers and fixing those machines." So it's really funny. I then -- sort of applying that same ethos to learning how to fix my own car. I can replace my tire, I even replaced my own brakes a couple weeks ago. Kind of proud of that. JASON HOWARD: Well, Aaron, it has been a pleasure chatting with you. AARON BUCKLEY: Thank you so much for having me. JASON HOWARD: Take care. Cheers, man. AARON BUCKLEY: Cheers. JASON HOWARD: By now, we hope you're inspired to grab lifelong learning by the horns and maybe even make a vision board or tackle a Microsoft certification. Our final guests are going to share a few more tips, and some exclusive resources available to Windows Insiders. Here's Thomas Trombley, senior program manager here at Microsoft. THOMAS TROMBLEY: You may have heard that Microsoft purchased LinkedIn, which purchased Lynda.com a few years ago. Now, LinkedIn Learning combines all the great content of Lynda.com -- that's more than 10,000 courses spanning business to tech skills and creative skills, with the personalization powered by LinkedIn. Here's a pro tip: Windows Insiders get access to free LinkedIn Learning courses, and we'll let you know how to access those at the end of this podcast. We'll also have a surprise giveaway. Stay tuned for how to enter. JASON HOWARD: Thomas is here with our second guest, Doug Winnie. DOUG WINNIE: My name is Doug Winnie, I'm the chief evangelist and head of community for LinkedIn Learning. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Some of our listeners may not know that LinkedIn is now in the Microsoft family. DOUG WINNIE: Uh-huh. (Affirmative.) THOMAS TROMBLEY: What do you find most exciting about LinkedIn now being part of Microsoft? DOUG WINNIE: It's interesting because the culture of the whole LinkedIn experience is still very much LinkedIn. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Right. DOUG WINNIE: But now we have the benefit of everything we have from Microsoft. So I go to work, I go to a LinkedIn building, I'm able to exchange and do everything, just what we always did, so I don't feel that anything has changed, and everything's been going wonderfully. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Now, what is LinkedIn Learning versus the LinkedIn social network and platform that most people are familiar with? And how do the two sort of play off one another? DOUG WINNIE: So your LinkedIn profile is essentially the front door for all your skills, your background, your experience, volunteer opportunities. But LinkedIn Learning is able to tie in the skills that you currently have, job opportunities that you're looking to get, and can connect all the learning content that we have to the skills that you want to achieve a change in your career or to apply for another position. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Right. DOUG WINNIE: Or to look at areas that you want to improve, to maybe do a career shift, or to maybe do a side hustle. THOMAS TROMBLEY: We're going to talk more on side hustling in a moment. DOUG WINNIE: Awesome, okay. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Online learning isn't just for students anymore, but people of all stages in their careers. It just seems to have exploded in popularity. Can you talk about some of the trends that you're seeing in technology and in the job market that are driving this wave of lifelong learning, especially through platforms like LinkedIn Learning? DOUG WINNIE: We have this model that we talk about inside of LinkedIn called The Four Squares. The Four Squares involve major steps that you're taking over your evolution in your position. You first start off as, like, the eager beaver. I'm ready, this is my first job, I'm really excited, and I'm going to nail it, okay? And then you get to this point where it's like -- not quite sure, maybe I bit off more than I can chew. But then you start doing one thing. You do one task, you get a little bit of confidence going into that. And you're, like, "I got this, I can do this." Then you start doing meatier and larger projects, and you get to the mastery part. Each one of these four squares represents a step on the journey that you're taking in your career. Could be a career, could be a job, but it could also be something you're doing outside of your job like a side hustle or some sort of volunteer activity. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Right. DOUG WINNIE: What's important, though, is as you're navigating from square to square, you need to find a new way to engage with your learning because you might have technical skills that you need to get from, say, eager beaver to, "Oh, my God, I'm not going to be able to do this." To focusing not just on what you're doing, but how you're doing it. To talk more about the interpersonal. You might have some life situations that are coming into the workplace, things like that that are not the technical tactical things, but they help you kind of get through roadblocks or hurdles that you need to overcome in order to get your job done. What happens, though, is when you look at all these four squares, people think that they are in one of these squares at one time. In reality, you actually are in all four at the same time. Whether I'm in my career, I'm in my job, whether I'm a parent or a new parent, you know? My baby's born, this is awesome! And then you're, like, "I'm responsible for a child." You know, this is hard. All these different things exist at the same time. So if you look at it from that perspective, there's this constant cycle of needing to learn as you're going through this process. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Kind of somewhat of a segue to this four-square approach, or this thought process, it kind of feels like a pendulum going back and forth. DOUG WINNIE: Uh-huh. (Affirmative.). THOMAS TROMBLEY: And, eventually, you find your path as the pendulum kind of narrows towards the center. But I recently read a book by Angela Duckworth called Grit, I don't know if you've ever read it. She shares stories about people striving to succeed, building perseverance and resilience into what she calls, well, "grit." Doug, do you find it difficult or tough for folks to stick to classes on LinkedIn Learning, given how busy life can be? Like, how do people have the grit to really see their learning through? DOUG WINNIE: Everyone has a different approach to what they need to learn. So sometimes we'll have people that want to tackle a really long learning path, which is a sequence of courses that we've created that might map to a certification, like the Associate Android Developer Certification, which we recently partnered with Google on. Then we also have PMP certifications and other things that, you know, are very long-tail approaches. But sometimes you need to just have that one thing that you need to get you through what you're troubled with today. And it's funny you talked about the grit. We just launched a course with Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant on Option B. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Oh, yeah. DOUG WINNIE: Around resilience at work. We just launched that this month. And the nuggets that are inside of that, that if you just can watch one thing just to help you through a setback or a hurdle that you're having and to renew the positivity that's inside of you that you know is there, that's just being kind of -- THOMAS TROMBLEY: Right. Right. Exactly. DOUG WINNIE: -- pushed down, that can then propel you forward and then be able to go back onto your journey. THOMAS TROMBLEY: And I think that offers some of the value proposition around online learning. Like, there's this explosion of online learning opportunities that can kind of give you that "oomph" you need. And I wonder if you could talk a little bit about how LinkedIn Learning's offerings different from, say, your competitors at, like, Treehouse, you've got Code Academy, there's Udemy, and the like. DOUG WINNIE: I'd say the flexibility. So just like I mentioned, if you want to go through a long path, you can do that. If you want to just take one course to get you through a skill that you're trying to work on, or just that one video. The mobile applications that we have integration with LinkedIn, I mean, all of these things combined make it flexible for what you want to get out of it. A lot of times when I talk to someone that's really struggling with, "What do I need to know? What do I need to learn?" Sometimes, they focus on the skills, they focus on the technology. "I need to do this, so I, therefore, need to know C#, I need to do all these programming languages and tactical things." THOMAS TROMBLEY: Right. DOUG WINNIE: And I say, "Lead with your feelings. What do you want the emotional outcomes to be of what you're doing?" And look at that as another way to approach your learning. Because the skills we have on LinkedIn and how you can build your profile is able to accommodate those more emotional social aspects of how you do your work, that creates a really unique way of building your learning journey on LinkedIn Learning as opposed to our competitors. THOMAS TROMBLEY: That's really compelling. I feel like you need to teach a course on just preparing to learn or an equivalent. DOUG WINNIE: Getting into the mindset of your emotional learning journey. Yes! (Laughter.) THOMAS TROMBLEY: I think a lot of professionals these days can identify with having a side hustle, as you mentioned earlier, or wanting to make a big shift in their careers. Could you share with us a story about a LinkedIn learning participant you know or heard about that successfully fed their side hustle? DOUG WINNIE: There's one person, Sebastian Bleak, I read about his story recently. And he recently had basically lost everything. Lost his job, lost his home, everything, was basically living out of his car. And what turned into a career for him started off as just something very small, a little nugget. A friend of him said, "Just learn one thing, one thing every day. It doesn't matter how small, doesn't matter how insignificant you think that it might be. Just one thing." So in his car, he was basically going through the library learning things like around illustration, graphic design, and through just chipping away at it one day at a time, he was able to get a job at an awesome graphic design company in LA, and he's now an instructor with us, actually, covering T-shirt design. THOMAS TROMBLEY: That's amazing. DOUG WINNIE: But the thing is, if you think about it as just one little chip that you can do to this giant statue that you're trying to create, okay? It can be overwhelming when you think about the vast amount of things you have to learn. But if you just do it from a very agile approach and thinking about it as just, "What am I doing today to get there?" THOMAS TROMBLEY: Right. DOUG WINNIE: I think that's something that's compelling about his story. THOMAS TROMBLEY: I feel like all too often we get so focused in our day to day -- like, I personally have a to-do list that's a mile long and I sat there and mapped it out in Excel and it said one day to complete all those tasks would take 25 hours per day. (Laughter.) DOUG WINNIE: I have, you know, we talked about this before the show. I've got some tattoos. And I have one on my arm. My husband, he always tells me, "Stop planning. Stop planning everything. You always are planning everything, why aren't you actually doing the things that you plan?" So I actually have that on my arm as a constant reminder to say it's not just about planning and creating to-do lists, it's about checking them off and having that sense of accomplishment at the end. That's part of education, part of learning as well. Don't get overwhelmed by the sheer vastness of what you have to learn. What did I learn today? And take pride in the fact that you learned that. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Yeah, I remember my mom would always say life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. DOUG WINNIE: Yes, that sounds familiar. Sage advice. (Laughter.) THOMAS TROMBLEY: Tell me a little bit about how Windows Insiders can access LinkedIn Learning for free. DOUG WINNIE: So, we've got some opportunities for the Windows Insiders to take courses on LinkedIn Learning. And Insiders can stay tuned for the next Windows Insider newsletter to arrive in their e-mail. And that will include codes to select free courses. And what we've done is every single month, we have courses from business, technology, and creative libraries, and we recently launched it so that people that are getting the German, French, Spanish, and Japanese editions of the newsletter get localized videos for those languages. The other thing is tying in with why we're all here in Redmond this week. We have about 16 courses for our Microsoft MVPs that cover technology from all kinds of different topics -- business, creative, and technology -- and we're unlocking those courses along with the traditional four that we do every single month. So, that's great to see how we're taking the strength of the Microsoft leadership community and our community leaders and showing how they are able to give and provide their expertise on LinkedIn Learning. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Right. DOUG WINNIE: So there also is going to be a Twitter contest that we're running. And for -- THOMAS TROMBLEY: Ooh! DOUG WINNIE: Ooh! For those that are listening, we're doing a three-month subscription giveaway for LinkedIn Learning. So if you win this, then you'll get access to LinkedIn Learning plus other LinkedIn career premium benefits to help you with your job hunt, you're looking at salary information or other aspects to basically boost your game on LinkedIn. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Right. DOUG WINNIE: So what we ask you to do is tweet all the new talents and knowledge that you've gained through LinkedIn Learning and we'll randomly select someone to win. So to enter, you need to let us know on Twitter how you've used LinkedIn Learning, then tag your tweet with #AlwaysBeLearning and #WindowsInsider, and then we'll enter you into the drawing. And if you want more information about the contest instructions and rules, you can see that on the Windows Insider website. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Let's talk a little bit more about how these folks could get started. Do you have any tips for folks who want to get started with LinkedIn Learning, like, for anyone who might be feeling excited, but may be overwhelmed by having so much knowledge at their fingertips? It can be a little daunting when you see the catalogue. DOUG WINNIE: It is. One of the things that's unique is when you go to LinkedIn for the first time, you can identify key skills that you're looking to learn. Based on that, it will then create and curate a selection of courses based on those. You can then go in and modify. You can add one, you can remove one. That will continue to kind of shape the recommended courses that are there. The other idea is to look for a career or look for a job that you are looking to achieve and if you can do that, you can see on LinkedIn all the skills that are required to get that, and you can compare yourself to see, like, all right, how do I match up to that particular job? Then take those skills and feed them into LinkedIn Learning so you can build a list of courses there. The last one is to go through our learning paths. They look daunting at first, but if you look at them from one step at a time, just like I said, one day learning one thing, you will get through and build the statue by chipping away at it one day at a time. There all kinds of learning paths based on business, creative, and technology careers and topics that are then segmented down into specific job roles or if you're a new manager or if you're entering into an executive or leadership position, there are all kinds of courses that we curate in learning paths to help you down that path. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Let's talk about your own learning path. We've talked about learn one thing every day, your arm says, "Stop planning." You know, what are you learning these days? Any secret things you're -- or hobbies or learnings that you're working on right now? DOUG WINNIE: So when we talk about side hustles, for me, it's not necessarily a side hustle, it's just something that I love to do. I love teaching. And I've got my job at LinkedIn, which I love, but I really enjoy being in front of people and teaching and giving back all the skills that I have amassed in my career. So I've got 20 courses on LinkedIn around learning how to code and product management, I was a product manager for many, many years prior to coming to LinkedIn. But I wanted to make that different for me, so I became a teacher. So I'm a part-time AP computer science teacher at a local high school in the Bay Area. The experience and the energy I get from that, but also the different challenges of looking at how do I approach a classroom is a learning opportunity for me. And what's been fascinating is taking my product management skills where I look at things as agile, I put together roadmaps and I am constantly doing feedback from people on an engineering team or a design team and bringing that to the classroom. Using a lot of the things that are on LinkedIn to help me with gathering data, to put together data visualization and to create a compelling story as to how the students in my class have ownership of the classroom and how I teach has been wonderful. It's been fascinating because they feel, and they do, have ownership of how I teach. What do I change? Do I do more of this? Do I do less of this? Do I ditch my lecture notes and do slides instead? And they're able to add and have ownership as to how they want to learn. THOMAS TROMBLEY: It sounds more collaborative. Like, they have a stake in the game in some way and in that, there's a vested interest. DOUG WINNIE: And they know that I'm accountable to them. When you think about a lot of teachers and a lot of classrooms sometimes that's not necessarily the case -- at least it was when I was a kid, where it was, you know, "I'm gonna teach this way, this is how it's going to happen." But when you take skills from other careers or other tracks and are able to kind of blend them together, that's where you're able to unlock about how you can change the way that you approach your career, and hopefully be a ripple effect to other people. THOMAS TROMBLEY: That's inspiring. I happen to know that you're a teacher. DOUG WINNIE: Okay. THOMAS TROMBLEY: I didn't know you were teaching high school kids part time. I don't know how you can do that. DOUG WINNIE: I'm also a part-time varsity lacrosse coach as well, so -- THOMAS TROMBLEY: Okay, now I'm feeling lazy. DOUG WINNIE: No, no, no. THOMAS TROMBLEY: All right, well, I discovered yesterday that you have a huge presence. You're almost somewhat of an Internet teacher celebrity of sorts as a programming and technology-focused teacher. DOUG WINNIE: Okay. THOMAS TROMBLEY: I saw you have a Computer Science Principles lab on C# with 100,000 views. You have the Android App Development Quick Start, which I think you mentioned earlier, and that's got 300,000 views. Programming Basics, half a million people -- Programming Basics, half a million views. I even saw one on Windows Phone 8 development. (Laughter.) Which actually brought me over to Microsoft a little over five years ago. As a PM, I'm also looking forward to taking your Product Management Foundations course, it's been added to my list. But what really got you interested in teaching technology? DOUG WINNIE: When I was a product manager at Adobe, which if you go to my LinkedIn profile, you'll see very clearly listed there. I managed a lot of the developer interactive products that we had. And I'm the kind of product manager that approaches everything with compassion for the user, understanding the problems that they're having, and good compassion for the struggles that they are experiencing with their products. I can approach that by improving the products, but I can also approach that by helping people learn how to use the products and the technologies that are there. So when I was a PM on the side, I did a series on programming and scripting with Adobe products. And it was just something I liked to do, I wanted to help. I wanted to share what I knew with other people. So I did that, and it was a big success. And it led to a couple books, it led to some other teaching opportunities at places like San Francisco State and other places. But I found that doing that gave me a new perspective in terms of how I could help people in a virtual way, because I always saw it as kind of a classroom thing where I had to be physically with them. Because of the power of the Internet and video and being able to connect with all these different people, gave me an audience that I never thought that I had. When I left Adobe and went to Lynda, I've now had even more people that I was able to really talk to. And with LinkedIn, we have over half a billion members on LinkedIn. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Monstrous. DOUG WINNIE: When we think about the power that everyone individually has to write articles, to write short-form posts, or even with your phone, just record a video right with the LinkedIn app on your phone and just immediately put it up there to talk about something that you're going through today or a quick tip about how you were able to solve a problem yourself. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Right. DOUG WINNIE: You can immediately learn and teach at the same time on LinkedIn. That got me really excited. So I joined the content management team, trying to find awesome people to help add more of their experience onto the platform, and then eventually I wanted to connect all these communities together, which led me to my job today. THOMAS TROMBLEY: That's a tremendous amount of value under that big umbrella that you described. DOUG WINNIE: It's overwhelming sometimes. But on the same note, I feel lucky to be able to have this opportunity. THOMAS TROMBLEY: Doug Winnie, it's been really inspiring to speak with you today. There's a sign that sits outside my office that says, "The only place that learning comes before knowing is in the dictionary." And I feel like newly inspired to jump back on my own educational program. And I hope some of our listeners do as well. Thank you for your time today. DOUG WINNIE: Thank you.

At the European SharePoint Conference in May 2014 in Barcelona, Jeremy Thake was part of a developer panel hosted by Rodrigo Pinto alongside Chris O’Brien, Radi Atanassov, Adis Jugo, Thorsten Hans, and Matthias Einig. Rodrigo came with a series of question to grill the panel with and the guys didn’t disappoint! The discussion started with how developers should embrace the change in the Office 365 App Model and learning new skills such as JavaScript. It moved on to some of the challenges panel members faced when first hitting the App Model and then on to which building blocks can be taken advantage of in your business solutions. Apologies in advance—there were a few questions where the mic didn’t pick it up from the audience, but the answers allow you to follow.
