Welcome to DEM tech folks. In this episode, we are chatting with Mr Roger Campbell II who is the Founder and Owner of GemStack a Technology Consulting company out of Bowie, MD. Roger shares with us his background going from failing to complete not one but two degrees and to now being the founder of a very successful organization that some of the biggest names in technology have entrusted to train their best and brightest. Roger is extremely intentional and goal oriented as he details his pursuit into tech and out of his parents home. Roger is also a very compassionate person who shares with us how something he wrote in response to the murder of George Floyd which resulted in him going on to win the Telly Award. This piece of work is titled Voices from the June 6 Black Lives Matter protest in DC and is known for moving people to tears. We shared a lot of laughs and I personally will recommend a conversation with this brother for anyone looking to follow a similar path. We also touch on work life balance, the importance of recharging, and find ourselves getting more personal than usual. We hope you can pick up and use some of these gems in a way that will allow you to move forward on your journey to become one of DEM tech folks! You can find our guest on LinkedIn.

Welcome to DEM tech folks. In this episode, we are chatting with Mr Roger Campbell II who is the Founder and Owner of GemStack a Technology Consulting company out of Bowie, MD. Roger discusses with us his views of Juneteenth and we also speak on knowledge of black history and the importance of being informed. Roger wrote a very thought provoking speech in response to the murder of George Floyd which resulted in him going on to win the Telly Award. This piece of work is titled Voices from the June 6 Black Lives Matter protest in DC and is known for moving people to tears. We shared laughs and some deeply personal moments as we reflect on mothers and fathers lost and the influence they had on our growth. We hope you can find value in this discussion.
Happy Father’s Day to all of the great examples out there in the world and Happy Juneteenth to everyone working to elevate the black experience.

Welcome to DEM tech folks (demtechfolks.com). In this episode we are throwing ourselves out there and letting you guys know a little bit about who we are and what we will be talking about in future episodes. Our apologies in advance as the video and audio will be rough but that is slightly on purpose in an effort to show the importance of action over perfection as you strive to learn new craft. None of us have done video editing, production, or podcasting before. For many of you, this means we are the same in that we are exploring new territory. We are committed to delivering a better product every episode as we are figuring this whole thing out as we go and we hope you can commit to the same as you move forward on your journey to become one of DEM tech folks!
