Episode 414 with Mary Bobbitt of Slalom Oct 14, 2021

Show notes

We were lucky enough to chat this week with Mary Bobbitt from Slalom. If you work in or around software development, this is the show for you as Mary is a consultant/coach/guru/expert/you name it in agile. We talked in depth on how agile has changed during the pandemic with teams moving to a remote workforce as well as how we have adapted to different types of workers and styles but yet with a common goal. Lastly, Mary is a new professional wrestling fan and is completely wrapped up in the art. This warmed Bob's heart as he's been a lifelong fan, and it's always interesting to hear about how other people perceive it.

413 with Brian “Schneebs” Schneble of SentinelOne Oct 07, 2021

Show notes

Brian “Schneebs” Schneble is the Director of Enterprise Sales at SentinelOne. He joined Bob and Randy to discuss the intersection of privacy and security. Before they got started, there was a quick discussion of the TV shows everyone is watching (Brian: Goliath, Bob: Ozark & Randy: Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol). We immediately got into the huge Facebook, Whatsapp, and Instagram outage which spurred huge online conversations considering the 60 Minutes whistleblower happened just a day prior. The other big story was the hack of telecom services company Syniverse. Brian has a huge wealth of knowledge on the autonomous vehicle industry and had a huge take that the data explosion isn't happening in Silicon Valley or Austin, but right here in Detroit. We can see why Brian has his own podcast as well, as this episode could have gone for hours. Hope you enjoy it!
