I Just Filed My SNHU Graduation Petition (Almost Done)

Today I hit a milestone in my journey at Southern New Hampshire University. I just submitted my petition to graduate for my Bachelor of Science in Information Technology with a concentration in Cybersecurity. In this episode I talk about what the petition to graduate actually means, how the SNHU registrar reviews your degree audit, and where I currently stand in the program. Right now I’m about 97% complete with three classes left, and the expected degree conferral date is September 2026. For anyone attending SNHU or thinking about going back to school later in life, this episode is a real look at the final stretch of the journey. Sometimes finishing a degree doesn’t happen in a straight line. Careers, life, and responsibilities all happen along the way. This moment is about getting close to bringing the mission across the finish line.

S2E1 — Is an SNHU Degree Worth It in 2026?

Is an SNHU degree actually worth it in 2026? In this episode I share my honest experience studying at Southern New Hampshire University while working full time. There is a lot of debate online about SNHU and online degrees. Some people say they are a great option for working adults. Others question whether employers respect them. In this episode I break down: • Who SNHU is actually designed for • How online degree programs work for working adults • Employer perception of online universities • Why skills and real-world projects matter more than the name on your diploma • How to build a portfolio while earning your degree SNHU can be a powerful option if you understand what it is designed to do: provide flexibility and structure for people who are already working. But your degree alone won't move your career forward. Your skills will. Listen in as I share what I've learned so far.

S2E0 — Diablo’s Way Is Back | Why I Stopped Podcasting and Why I'm Starting Again

A few years ago, I started this podcast. Then I stopped. Not because I ran out of ideas — but because I didn’t yet understand what I was building. In this episode, I explain: • Why I originally started recording • Why I stepped away • What has changed professionally and personally • Why this season is different • What Season 2 will actually focus on This isn’t a relaunch for attention. It’s a reset for clarity. Season 2 is about evolution in real time — career transitions, autonomy, systems thinking, technology, and self-leadership. If you’ve ever felt like you were outgrowing your old identity, this season is for you.
