001 Intel, Investing in the Community
b'
Ron Eppes, Intel Community Engagement Manager: Ron is the perfect first guest for our podcast! While the sound quality isn\\u2019t great (we get better with time, promise) his stories and love of community are inspiring! Ron is a STEM Rockstar who works just down the road a few miles at Intel Corporation where he is passionate about ensuring Intel is a great corporate citizen. His story is interesting as he shares how someone important in Ron\\u2019s life with no apparent attachment to STEM had such a big influence on him ultimately pursuing a STEM career.
