July 16, 2021 Cloud Conversations | Episode 16 | Jimmy Vaughan on Time in WWE/WWF, Career Moves, Teams Rooms, Microsoft
In this slobber knocker episode, we had the legendary Jimmy Vaughan with us. Jimmy is a former MVP who's now with Microsoft, focusing on Teams. He has a prolific career with some very interesting companies, including Crestron, and most exciting to us - the then WWF, now WWE. We caught up with Jimmy on how he entered WWE at a total boom period known as the Attitude Era, his time there working for early days WWF.com, being a producer, the McMahon family, the creation of the "scratch" logo, and generally geeking out about wrestling. This is an IT show, after all, so we do also cover how Jimmy made that leap from TV producer to Teams/AV expert and guru, covering stuff like Teams Rooms.
