I was thrilled to have Bryon Malang join me on the most recent recording. Bryon and I discussed the importance of mentorship, coaching, and how that has made a difference in his career.

We also discuss his running career and some important parallels that has in his career.

Being a die-hard Jets fan, we also may have made some predictions of the score for the Buffalo Bills v Jets season opener on September 11th.

This was such a great conversation - give it a listen and let me know your thoughts!

With the encouragement of Producer Ken, I decided to record a series of solo podcasts telling a bit about my story. These past 30+ years of an IT career have taught me a lot about being an authentic person even when my opinions may not be the same as others in the room. And that is okay ...honestly, that started when I was in high school and told that I couldn't be a CEO because I'm a girl from a small town. How's that for support?

I hope you will give this a listen and I would love to have you share what other career fields you would like to see represented on the show. Drop me a message or email ([email protected]) to share your ideas!

Thank you for your continued support - I love this platform and sharing the messages of everyone we've talked with.
