Episode 117 of the #MVPbuzzChat​​​​ series. Conversation between Microsoft Regional Director and MVP Christian Buckley (@buckleyplanet), and Developer Technologies MVP Poornima Nayar (@PoornimaNayar), an independent .Net Developer, 2x Umbraco MVP (open source CMS), and active speaker and community member based in Slough, England.

In this episode, Poornima and I discuss her involvement in the community and how it helped her achieve her Microsoft MVP, the impact of the pandemic on her local community, and how she learned (continues to learn) how to balance work, community, and family while fighting off FOMO (fear of missing out). We even talked about our kids and helping them find their own paths forward (even if they decide to not follow our footsteps into technology).
