    • Answer to question from show 762
    • From Jason Pollard

      • “…What I didn’t say in the voicemail is just how impactful you’ve been in my life. I have listened to you both since the early 2000s on an apple ipod loading it to the harddrive while doing security at a truck dock in a hot metal box. 

      20 years later I’m now an analyst with Docusign and interact with Servicenow and related companies on a daily basis. 

      You, and Leo Laporte are the only two podcasts I’ve listened to this entire period of time. Thank you again for all the years of podcasts”
