I recently joined Kevin Evans on the Code To Cloud podcast to talk about AI, cloud, career resilience, and farming!

Its been a couple of years since I was on as a guest on his podcast. We had fun with our chat and the topics cover a variety of things like personal finance, leaving tech to farm, the recent layoffs at Microsoft, what AI means for all of us, and more.

My hope is that this discussion provides some useful insights for others navigating the current tech market.

I wrote a blog post with highlights and reflections from the episode. You can check it out here:
