Description:

This was a 90 minute conversation with a truly talented individual that showcases his amazing brain, passions, his challengs and struggles with ADHD, Humility, CoreOS, Redhat, 120 year old tonic recipes, and his omnipresent beard. Our interview had laughs, tears, and a life less ordinary of a true legend of the Devops space. This was a labour of love and he delivered.. I hope you all enjoy this one as much as we did making it!
