    I learned a lot from talking with Dhinesh Ram Muralidharan, IT Manager with JBS USA.

    Meaning, Meetings, and Momentum!

    I talked with Sam Bloomquist, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer at DriverReach, which has developed a recruiting and compliance management platform for the trucking industry. We discussed applying the principles of deep work, building momentum in a growing company, and doing meaningful work. I was also happy to learn about Sam’s inner punk rocker, who is - still creative! Enjoy hearing all of that and more about SAM. Stillness, awareness, and mindfulness, that is.

    Moving .. Beyond Thought

    My guest is Jenora Adams, a Software Quality Analyst at Fusion Alliance. In this episode, we learn how being creative applies to Jenora’s role and how her love of music and dance are sources of creativity, joy, and fellowship (through Line Dancing and Double Dutch groups). Jenora describes progressing in dance to the point of not thinking about the movement and experiencing the feeling of flow. As she says, “when you are not thinking and you are just moving, there is something that is freeing about that and your mind is clear.”

    It's malleable, it's flexible, it's software!

    I talked with Donald Anderson, Sr. Director, Software Quality Assurance & Application Security. “If automation was easy, everyone would do it” was not just a great line, it connected to Donald's point that creativity and innovation with software is hard work. It was also interesting to hear that through knowledge about cloud computing, internet of things (IoT), and API technology, we begin to understand that “it’s malleable, it’s flexible, it’s software!"
