All in Leadership
NetApp's very own storage guru, Rajesh "Sheik" Kapoor talks with us about the importance of mentors and about his journey through the world of tech.
Today we are talking to another legend in the tech community. His presence has been huge and and he has been a mentor to many.
I remember watching the Jetsons when I was a kid. The promise of pushing a button and letting machines do the work was the future cartoons promised me.
It was a young child’s vision of the future, but that vision isn’t that far from reality.
Today we are going to dig into Robotic Process Automation. So, buckle in, here come the robots.
I was recently called out for not having enough women on the podcast, and it is a very fair criticism. Out of the last 34 interviews I have done over the last year, only 2 have been with women. Today we are going to talk diversity and data.
Women are underrepresented in technology. It can be a difficult career path for women and the underrepresented people. Today we are going to be talking about diversity, equity and inclusion in technology and how that impacts the things we build, and at the center of that is data.
There are some people in IT who become quite notable for always being at the center of great things. They enable others with their knowledge, and by doing so, they rise to legendary status within the community. Today we have just such a person, Duncan Epping.
Today we are going to talk about two big pandemic concerns, pivots and security, and we have a company taking care of both, Sysdig. Sysdig was founded as an open source troubleshooting tool by Loris Degioanni in 2013. You may know Loris Degioanni as co-creator of the very popular open source network analyzer Wireshark and the container security tool Falco.
I know so many sports lovers out there have been struggling through the pandemic with little to no entertainment. Now, being a bit of a geek, I have always liked sports that combine precision, endurance, mental fortitude, and engineering. That is why my personal sport is olympic style archery. Where even fat old men can compete in an olympic sport. I can definitely do fat and old.
But I want to give you a sporting event that may be the most extreme sporting event on the planet. It has strategy, intense physical and psychological challenges, endurance and cutting edge engineering and technology in extreme, life threatening environments. I am talking about the Vendée Globe. This race is like if Mount Everest was 24,000 miles high and there was a marathon to climb it.
These days, everyone is feeling the stress of their jobs and of the industry. With so many people just dreaming of starting over, I always hear, I am going to just quit and go work in the Cannabis industry. It is the modern equivalent of saying I am going to run off and join the circus.
But the reality is more challenging. It is a highly regulated and complex industry, it is illegal on the federal level so you are at the mercy of state regulations and an ever changing political environment. Then you have to be able to produce and sell a fairly technical and complex product that requires a high level of service to the customer. Making money in the business is not as straight forward as you might think.

Welcome back to another FUTRtech video podcast. Today we were going to be talking about data, but we get into some other topics including what it is like to be the CEO of a startup and what it takes to be a good leader, building a sales organization and fostering culture. We talked about data too, because data is a strategic asset, and it has driven some significant changes in IT in its efforts to deliver greater top-line value to the business.

John Thompson started off his career at IBM back in the 70s as a salesman. He rose through the ranks to become General Manager of IBM Americas, but after 28 years at IBM in 1999 he was lured away to become CEO of Symantec building it into a true enterprise focused company. In 2014, John Stepped into the role of Chairman of the Board of Microsoft Corporation following Bill Gates’ departure. John has been an active investor and in 2018 he became a partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners and has put together a portfolio of truly impressive companies. One of those companies is the cyber security company Confluera, which we are really excited to talk to him about today.
We are going to do a short two part series on the Coronavirus. In part 1 we are going to talk with Mark Janus who is seeing his travel business get crushed by the coronavirus pandemic. In part 2 we will be talking with Danial Hultin who survived COVID19 to get his perspective.
Welcome back to another FUTRtech video podcast. Today we are going to take a bit of a different approach. We have heard from various businesses about how they are adapting. And we’ve talked about the impact of the illness. We haven’t talked about the people who are out there really struggling for their futures. The tech sector has been fortunate, because it has been enabling business in this environment, but other sectors haven’t been so lucky. Travel is one of those sectors hardest hit, and there is no relief in site. So, today we have Mark Janus of Janus Travel to talk about what it is like for people with small businesses who are faced with the destruction of their dreams. I don’t think we hear enough about them.
