I share insights from my recent solo business trip to California. I attended the Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE 22), visited Rubrik's headquarters, and reconnected with old friends. We'll explore the unique challenges of planning a self-funded business trip, the inspiring environment of SCALE 22, and the importance of reconnecting with loved ones.
