Pandemic + supply chain chaos = companies diversifying vendors. Smart move to avoid single points of failure. #SupplyChain #Resilience

Why are enterprises hesitant about multi-vendor solutions? The logic behind choosing best-of-breed often wins out in the long run. What's your take? #BestOfBreed #EnterpriseSolutions

Cloud computing emerged to solve a major headache: infrastructure maintenance. It shifts the burden, allowing businesses to focus on their core goals. #CloudComputing #Tech

Don't pick a vendor before nailing down your project requirements. Knowing exactly what you need is half the battle. #ProjectManagement #VendorSelection

Cognitive biases quietly steer our choices, often without us realizing. Understanding them is key to better decision-making. Ever notice this in your own thought process? #CognitiveBias #DecisionMaking

Telling employees the reason they should work hard is so shareholders win? That falls flat. Focus on what matters to them, or they'll tune out fast. What motivates *you*? #Motivation #Leadership

Ever felt like corporate talk is just nonsense? This guy did, until he had to BE the guy giving the talk. Then he realized how hard it is to connect. Perspective changes everything. #CorporateLife #Perspective

Effective communication isn't just about what you say, but how it's heard. Craft your message to resonate with your audience. What you say isn't always what they hear. #CommunicationSkills #Leadership

Engineers: numbers matter more than you think! Early in a career, it's easy to chase tech. But understanding COGS and margins? That's when you level up and see the bigger picture. #Engineering #Leadership

Being in sales taught me what the numbers are all about. SEs aren't exempt. You're on the same team. Understand revenue, see how customers need real value, not just love for routers. #Sales #Teamwork

Most companies focus on building or selling. If you're not directly doing either, make sure you're helping others do it more efficiently. Growth means moving fast, but things break at scale. Lead with empathy. #Leadership #GrowthMindset

Mobile podcast studio is on the move. Recording episodes at #AutoCon4 🎤

Thanks to Packet Pushers for interviewing me on Heavy Networking. Someone pinch me.

Follow the money. Cloud was the wave, now it's AI. But the real gold rush is in AI networking: RockyV2, RDMA. Invest now for a 20-30 year career. Skills will be durable. #AINetworking #CareerTips

Look who @permitipandyandy ran into on his way to #autocon4 ✈️

Everyone is in sales. If you can't express your ideas in a way that resonates, you won't reap the rewards. Represent your ideas in the marketplace—or don't complain if you don't get what you want. #Sales #Communication

AI monetization isn't about the tech itself. It's about unique data & specific uses. Think: GE using sound to detect engine issues, or John Deere using computer vision for plant-by-plant watering. #AI #Innovation #Tech

The ultimate launch to witness? Humans on Mars. Whether it happens in one's lifetime is another question. Until then, a New Glenn launch would be a great start. #SpaceExploration #Mars

Automation is everywhere, but it isn't perfect. Software always has bugs. Sometimes you need a person on the joystick, especially when headed to the moon or Mars. #Automation #Technology

Blue Origin is building multiple New Glenn rockets to increase launch cadence. The goal is to refurbish boosters between launches, allowing for more frequent missions. #NewGlenn #BlueOrigin
