And those ideas get it iteratively better until you walk out the room agreeing that there's a path you can still take.” - Nick   Get to know our hosts in the links below: Nick Lumsden: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicklumsden/Jason Yaeger: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonyaeger/  Wanna learn more about FinOps and Cloud Cost Optimization?
