Stepping into new roles always comes with a mix of excitement and challenges, and I'm thrilled to share my latest adventure as a Senior Solutions Architect with Amazon's Eero. You'll catch a glimpse of my journey into the vibrant world of wireless access points and mesh networks and get a sneak peek at the tech events like AWS re:Invent and CES that I can’t wait to be part of. Let’s not forget a nod to Johnny Cupcakes, a brand that has been a personal favorite, and the inspiring story of Johnny Earle's rise from selling out of his car to building a retail empire.

Ever wondered how Starlink's two-gigabit speed predictions could change rural connectivity? We explore this game-changing development as the FCC grants Starlink a commercial license for its direct-to-cell program, potentially shaking up the wireless ISP industry. Alongside these advancements, I share thoughts on the recent shifts within the FCC, marking the departure of a respected figure, and the ripple effects of these changes. The episode doesn’t shy away from humor, with a look at Daisy, the AI granny with a mission to outwit phone scammers, all while pondering the ethical implications of such innovations.

Technology isn't the only focus here; we also uncover Saudi Aramco’s potential billion-dollar investment in Mavenir and its significance for Open RAN technology. We touch upon the trials and triumphs of Boost Mobile, the strategic moves in the CBRS spectrum, and a possible Dish and DirecTV merger on the horizon. With contributions from industry experts like Matt McPherson, we debate the coexistence of Wi-Fi and 5G, and wrap up with a personal Thanksgiving greeting, celebrating milestones, and an invitation for feedback to keep this journey as exciting and engaging as ever.
