During the darkest days of my career's "busy period", I thought I was the only IT guy in the world who was both ethical and competent.

I am thrilled to report that I was wrong. Tonight's guest, Mike Cowan from McGyver Tech, is based in LA and heard me on a Pittsburgh talk show one morning in 2017. He called me up and said "Hey, we think the same way." It would turn out that we think very similarly, like Computer Exorcist parallel universe counterparts:

• We both had a passion for technology and ended up working in the industry through serendipity.
• We both strive to solve problems the right way once and for all instead of milking people for fees.
• We have come to the same conclusions independently of each other about the industry and its intentions.
• He even has his own "Three New Threats" tenets, and his own witty catchphrases!

So he became my first fully independent local affiliate, and I'm so thrilled to finally have him on tonight. In Part 1, you'll get to know him, and next week we get his opinion on an article he sent me.
