Discover how a once budding psychologist turned tech maestro is revolutionizing cloud advocacy with humor and humanity. Chris Williams, affectionately known across the digital landscape as Mist Wire, joins our podcast for an enthralling adventure from the tactile world of cables to the ethereal realms of the cloud. With a tale that starts with Doom and ends with Developer Advocate Manager at HashiCorp, Chris's journey is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to elevate their place in the tech ecosystem.

Lend us your ears as we navigate the seismic shifts in IT, where once familiar hardware has given way to the nebulous cloud.
