SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome back to the show, it\\u2019s been way too long. What are you up to these days?

Topic 2 - We wanted to bring you back on because you\\u2019ve gone through quite a few transitions as an engineer, from infrastructure to cloud to vendor-side to customer-side. Can you share some of the ways that you were able to make transitions, and how you overcame concerns about some of the big leaps?

Topic 3 - Some projects are a success (EMCworld Labs), often wildly successful. How did you deal with success, and then how did you deal with the ongoing maintenance once the shininess wore off?\\xa0

Topic 4 - Some projects are less successful (vCloudAir). How did you personally handle some of the problems, and how did you grow from it?

Topic 5 - You\\u2019re in an engineering leadership role now (and have been for the last few years). How has that changed your perspective, and what are some of the lessons you\\u2019ve learned?

Topic 6 - Can you quickly tell the stories of all the Nick Weavers?\\xa0
