Send us a textWhat does it take to write the books that build the backbone of the networking industry? In this energetic conversation with Jason Gooley, Technical Evangelist at Cisco and author of numerous certification guides, we dive into the fascinating world of technical education and the art of making complex networking concepts accessible to learners.Jason shares his remarkable journey from networking novice who once believed the myth that "CCIEs make more than the president" to becoming the author selected to take over the iconic CCNA certification guides from Wendell Odom after his 23-year, 10-edition legacy. The responsibility is enormous—with Cisco's Network Academy having certified 17 million professionals and aiming for another 25 million in the next decade, Jason's words will shape countless careers.We explore the delicate balance required when creating technical content: providing enough depth for certification success without overwhelming readers, adding engaging storytelling without sacrificing accuracy, and addressing varied audience backgrounds without assuming too much or too little prior knowledge. As Jason beautifully puts it, "When I write, it feels like I'm talking... like I'm explaining it to a specific person." This approach transforms what could be dry technical manuals—"paper cuts to the eyes"—into relatable learning experiences.For anyone working in technology, the episode offers valuable insights on continuous learning in a rapidly evolving field. Jason describes technology as "a train... the second you step on, you're moving with it." The key is simply starting somewhere: "Don't be afraid to get on the train. Just do 'hello world.' Get a Raspberry Pi. Use Alexa to turn off your lights." Whether you're pursuing certifications, teaching others, or creating educational content, this episode provides practical wisdom on making technical knowledge accessible, relevant, and engaging.

In this special episode, we take a retrospective look at the 15-year anniversary journey of Pure Storage through the lens of the 7 classic story plots (based on the book by Christopher Booker). From "Overcoming the Monster" to "Rebirth," we explore how Pure's trajectory aligns with timeless narratives that have captivated audiences for centuries. Don Poorman, Technical Evangelist at Pure, joins the program to walk through each of the 7 plots and draw parallels to Pure's experiences - from scrappy startup battling industry giants, to quest for recognition and market leadership, to periods of comedy and tragedy. This retrospective episode is a fun listen for Pure enthusiasts and anyone fascinated by the power of storytelling in the tech world. As Pure emerges from the "intermission" of its first 15 years, we look ahead to the next chapter, where a "rebirth" of the company's platform vision will shape the future. We hope listeners are inspired to revisit classic literature and films that echo Pure's saga, and consider how the narratives that captivate us as individuals can also reveal deeper truths about the journeys of innovative companies.

This enables us to relate to people authentically and deeply, even in the most basic of ways.Listening to people in virtual meetings should be done with personhood in mind, not just as a digital experience. It is more powerful to connect with them if you are sensitive and listen carefully.There will always be coworkers who irritate us or give us bad vibes at work, but it's all about being present and mindful when dealing with these people. You can choose to be reactive or defensive.You simply need to be present with whatever is going on in your life and accept that it happened. Say YES to your experiences. Mindfulness is all about freedom, it's about having options in moments where you normally don't.Be present with your children while remaining mindful on purpose. When you are present with someone, it changes the way you communicate with them significantly and elevates your experience of life. "If we mindfully communicate with each other, we will be able to see other people in their humanity, even if they're different from you. It changes the conversation in ways that really matter. Also, you find so much more value in the relationships that you do have. In that way, regardless of what's going on in your world, you have a better experience of life.." —  Brett Hill Connect with Brett Hill:Website: https://www.languageofmindfulness.com/ (Company)https://thefutureismindful.com (Company)LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mindfulguyTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/bretthillPodcast: The Language of MindfulnessOrganizational Mindfulness Podcast  Connect With Adam Weber:Website: https://meditationnotmedicine.com/about/Email: adam@meditationnotmedicine.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/easytomeditate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meditationnotmedicine/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPnbji9rDrCfxhY0W8sHL9ABook: Meditation Not Medicine  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.You're the expert.

With the increase of cyberthreats, how are backup and recovery techniques rising to the challenge?   Today's guest is W. Curtis Preston, the Chief Technical Evangelist at the data protection and management provider Druva. Also known in the industry as “Mr. Backup,” Curtis' nearly 30 years of experience working in backup and recovery make him one of the foremost experts in the field.   On this episode of Future of Tech, Curtis talks in depth about the evolution of backup technology over the years and sheds light on what new challenges have arisen in the era of virtualization.   He also offers some candid advice to anyone interested in entering the backup industry, and it may not be what you'd expect. Enjoy the episode.    Main Takeaways: The History of Backup: Drawing from nearly 30 years of experience, Curtis outlines the evolution of backup technology – from “tape” to the cloud – and the challenges that have arisen along the way. Though the industry has changed over the course of his career, he suggests that the challenging nature of the work has always been consistent.  The New Cyberattack Threat: Curtis describes that before the cloud, the damage to data centers was caused by temporary threats like fires, floods, and hurricanes. He explains that with the advent of the cloud came a new industry foe: cyberattackers. He asserts that containing cyber threats can be difficult because they persist throughout the recovery process. Despite cyber threats, Curtis insists that “virtualization and cloud both have allowed us to make all compute much more available [and] much more resilient in general than it was when I joined the industry.”  The Future of the Backup Business: According to Curtis, advancements in backup technology and design have lowered the demand for specialists in the field. He suggests that those interested in entering the industry should aim their attention toward “the cybersecurity element” which, he claims, “is going to be nothing but a growth industry.”   Key Quotes: [07:31] “The problem the last year or two has been cyberattacks specifically against backups. Historically, ‘backups' was in the corner and nobody really thought about it, and certainly neither did the cyberattacker. Cyberattackers are not new, but the idea of someone in the cyberspace directly targeting your backups to either use them to steal data, to exfiltrate data and use it to attack your company, to hold your data for ransom in that way, or to encrypt them in the same way that they encrypt the primary so that you then have to pay the ransom [is].” [21:04] “The idea that you could have an RTO – a recovery time objective – of 20 minutes for thousands of VMs is, I think, phenomenal… When you go back… I was at a bank with, I'm going to say, we had like four or five hundred servers. The idea of recovering those four or five hundred servers in anything less than a couple of weeks would be unheard of. Now, if all those servers are virtualized using the cloud and advanced technology, you can recover your entire environment in 15 to 20 minutes and only lose about an hour's worth of data.” [23:25] “Let's go back to... [the year] 2000… I'd been in IT for seven years at this point. What we thought about was hurricanes and floods and earthquakes and fires. What all of those have in common is [that] when the event has destroyed your data center, the thing that destroyed your data center is now gone. The fire has been put out, the flood has receded, the hurricane has moved on, et cetera. With a cyber recovery, that isn't the case. You need to recover your data center in the middle of the hurricane. The hurricane is still hitting your data center, meaning… the cyber attack is ongoing.” [26:38] “I will take the security of the average cloud vendor or the average SaaS vendor over the security of the average data center any day of the week. I'm not saying you can't have better security or good security in a data center. I'm just saying that for the cloud it's do-or-die. If they don't have a solid cybersecurity plan, they basically go out of business.” [40:29] “What has driven the backup design, I'd say more than anything, is that the things that we're backing up keep changing… So, that's why I'm saying VMware messed it up, the cloud, messed it up, [and] the latest thing to mess things up has been Kubernetes and containers… That again turned backup on its head and everybody's playing catch-up.”

DevRel has evolved over the past few years and in this podcast we are talking to the groundbreaking thought leaders who are paving the way for people and organizations who want to follow DevRel best practices. To many people, Developer Relations is the community management for technical audiences, but for others it's a lot more. It's building relationships and fostering trust, it's collecting and relaying feedback to other teams or it's inspiring people to build tools to empower.This week's guest is Rain Leander, AppDev Technical Evangelist @ Cockroach Labs.LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/rainleanderTwitter:  https://twitter.com/rainleander

Filip Verloy, Technical Evangelist at Noname Security discusses the difference between IT infrastructure API usage and business API usage, some of the challenges associated with cyber security, and the link between API security and ransomware.

The COVID-19 pandemic has added many layers of complexity to the workplace, as companies are increasingly relying on technology to establish secure remote work capabilities. Since a multi-cloud IT infrastructure can provide exceptional benefits, including optimizing cost performance, avoiding vendor lock-in, and increasing reliability by distributing assets in the event of an IT crisis, it's no wonder so many companies are racing to adopt multi-cloud solutions.     However, this rush to migrate sensitive data and business functions from on-premises to multiple clouds is leaving many organizations ill-prepared for security and compliance issues. Gartner has predicted that by 2025, 90% of the organizations that fail to control public cloud use will inappropriately share sensitive data.     Companies that fail to employ security guardrails when planning a cloud migration are severely increasing their risk of misconfigurations that can lead to devastating security and compliance incidents.     Keith Neilson, Technical Evangelist at CloudSphere joins me on Tech Talks Daily to discuss how companies can maintain a competitive edge and keep company data secure by leveraging a more agile cyber asset management approach.

In this fifth episode, the group gets into some real-world stories where multiple workflows come together in an orchestrated fashion to amplify the investments in workflow management and automation exponentially.In the previous four episodes, we looked at what it takes to transition from manual, human-driven (frequently paper-bound) processes to an operating environment where applications can handle tasks with very little human interaction. This doesn't mean that everything can (and should be) automated. Quite the opposite is true in some cases. But, once processes have been automated, it sure is fun (and valuable) to find ways to connect them all in exciting and meaningful ways.When an organization wants to get more out of the processes they've already automated, that's where orchestration comes into play. Picture a conductor conducting an orchestra comprised of different sections -- brass, winds, percussion. This is what automated business processes can look like -- all coming together to create a symphony of goodness in areas such as:Systems and humans (employees)IT and OT (medical/healthcare)Apps, devices, and sensors (city bike rentals)AI and Robots (manufacturing)Customers and their experience (theme parks)Listen to get some insight that can be applied to your digital business processes now and in the future. This is a 5-part podcast series with Nintex thought leaders and solutions partners. The series walks through the lifecycle of employing business process management (BPM) and business process automation (BPA) throughout the organization.______________________The 5 episodes in this series include:DEFINITIONCONSTRUCTIONEXECUTIONAUTOMATIONORCHESTRATIONThis contains promotional content.

In this fourth episode, the group looks at the role of automation in driving business value: what's worthy of automating and what are the best practices to make the most of your investments?In the previous 3 episodes, we looked at what it takes to transition from manual, human-driven (frequently paper-bound) processes to an operating environment where tasks can be handled by applications with very little human interaction. This doesn't mean that everything can (and should be) automated. Quite the opposite is true in some cases.When an organization has reached a phase where automation is possible, it's not just about flipping on "that switch." Actually, it should be about building out a process that eliminated unnecessary task "churn," improves efficiency, and reduces human error — but it shouldn't stop there. The goal for any automation should be rooted in how that process, when automated, can help drive business value.The group discusses some of this as we look at some best practices surrounding processes that fit well in an automated environment.There is always another side, and so there is in automation. Many considerations come into play when taking a digital business process to a place where it can be fully automated — some are obvious, others may not be. If assumptions are being made for how and when machines, apps, people, and data are involved, those assumptions may come back to haunt the organization later.The natural frame of mind or way of thinking would be to automate as much as possible. And, while that may be a feasible grand vision, our group encourages organizations to stay focused on what really matters to the business.Have a listen to get some insight that can be applied to your digital business processes now and in the future.This is a 5-part podcast series with Nintex thought leaders and solutions partners.

In this third episode, the group discusses the value of taking some time to reflect on the definition and desired outcome for the business process being implemented as you begin to execute and get it into the hands of the end user.Many found that ignoring or bypassing user acceptance training as part of the process could make things that much harder to implement. It's critical to include and leverage the users in the process to ensure they are getting a workflow that they can understand and use at each step along the way.Of course, by opening up the process to receive user feedback means you have user feedback to take into consideration.  What may have been defined as the minimum viable product (MVP), might end up not being enough to get the users to accept and adopt the process and workflow. However, there is serious danger (in terms of time and budget) that comes with digesting and incorporating feedback into the process: scope creep is real and lines need to be drawn to outline when "enough is enough" and you can call it "done."These are just a couple of the items we dig into during this conversation. Here's a sampling of some additional topics we touched on:Crafting the end-to-end workflows using steps and storiesTriggers, decision-points, human interaction/interventionLeveraging staging and production to reach workflow nirvanaData management, data security, and change managementVisibility, logging, error handling, and reportingAll-in-all, the implementation phase can be the most challenging as this is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. It becomes even more challenging if the earlier phases of the program were rushed or skipped. Either way, you'll find that this phase can be very dynamic and, if managed properly, can result in tremendous success for the team and the organization. However, let things creep too wide and long, and you may never find the end, let alone success.Have a listen to this episode and be sure to join us for the rest.Enjoy!This is a 5-part podcast series with Nintex thought leaders and solutions partners.

I spoke with Margaryta Ostapchuk. She used to be a Technical Evangelist working for Microsoft in Ukraine and then she moved to Canada in 2018 while still working for Microsoft but now as a Software Engineer. I came across Margaryta during an AI Bootcamp back in December 2019, where she was talking about Language Understanding (LUIS) which is one of the Cognitive Services provided by Microsoft. Margaryta talked about how she uses public speaking as an opportunity to help developing both her technical and communication skills. She mentioned about the fact that she used to think everyone in the audience knew more about the subject than her, but she realized that everyone has something to contribute that is valuable to others. Listen to this episode to hear what Margaryta has to say to female coders that is also applicable to everyone of us. Full show notes and links: https://SoloCoder.com/32
