Helpful video

Thanks for sharing Chris! I’ve always heard you mention a few things about your journey and wondered what the full story looked like, now I see. Great content as always! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Death to "cloud computing" itself. What an absolutely stupid idea. Bring everything back in-house. Software, data, everything. Screw "cloud computing" devised by control-freak tech giants. In my youth, I worked for a major payroll company as a developer. Everything in house. When we had hardware issues, we packed up the backup tapes and ran payroll at a different site and brought the results back. It was labor-intensive. But it didn't cause the whole damned world to blue-screen.

I really appreciate this video bro. It’s time to get to studying!

This affected me while I working my night shift job. Definitely put everything on hold for about 6 hrs for us. Great explanation!

Thanks for the explanation!

I disagree with you , if you starting your journey in cybersecurity Google certification it’s so important and a good choice for starting

Phenomenal interview and he has a wealth of knowledge stemming from his journey, great to see him at the top now. 💪🏾💪🏾

Good stuff!

Great interview. My question is how did the youtube guy sending the leads? Steal the business did he know your system of the actual system you used to help people with credit. I thought he was only just sending the leads. Ty

Fellow DC dev here, just wanted to say that I've spent quite a bit of time today reading articles and watching videos about networking (in preparation for an upcoming conference) and this one has been by far the most valuable one, with advice that actually resonates and makes sense. Took a ton of notes and will be applying this advice, thanks for recording this
