In this episode, we are with Brandi Jimmar, CTO of Dorsey School Bus Company and CEO of Smile Mods.

In this International Women’s Day episode of Plugged In, we sit down with Megha Pandey to talk about breaking patterns in tech, navigating a male-dominated industry, and the difference between being heard and truly listened to. From stepping out of her comfort zone to challenging stereotypes about women in leadership, this conversation highlights the shared experiences of women in tech across the globe, and why the conversation shouldn’t stop after just one day.

Before you grab a screwdriver or follow a quick online tutorial, this episode of Plugged In takes a step back. In “Before You Fix It,” we talk about common DIY tech repairs that go wrong—and why good intentions often lead to bigger problems.

We cover:

• Popular DIY fixes that often cause more damage
• Mistakes people don’t realize they’re making
• The hidden risks of quick online tutorials
• Signs you should stop and reassess before continuing
• How to decide if a fix is safe to try or better left alone

This episode is about helping you pause, think, and protect your devices before a simple issue turns into a costly repair.
