Interchange IT Podcast

Jon Wallace joins the podcast today to talk about a fun scenario - what if self-driving cars were the norm? We discuss this from several different angles, such as safety, ethics, work-life balance, and ownership of cars.

Who better to start our Road to Interchange podcast series with the queen of Interchange herself? Today we have Ivanti's Director of Global Events, Karen Zunkowski. Karen gives us some information about Interchange Madrid and Interchange Nashville, and gives listeners insight into the process behind how she picks the Interchange city and venue. Stay tuned for more episodes of the Road to Interchange series each week.

Bring on the holiday tech gift ideas! Steve and McKay discuss popular tech gifts this festive season, including types of headphones, gaming devices, and systems like Alexa and Google Home. We also discuss McKay and Steve's love of robot vacuums.

We have Jon Wallace today, who is prepared to preach the good word of IT. We talk country music and tech news, and then dive into our new "What If" series. Today, we tackle: What if there are no physical offices? We discuss what IT looks like in this situation, from the security perspective, the asset perspective, and the work-life balance perspective. This is an episode you do not want to miss.

During this snippet of the twelve hour live podcast session of the IT Leadership Summit, we're joined with Melanie Karunaratne who discusses the unification of IT and IT innovation. We also discuss McKay's dream historical movies.

During our twelve hours of live podcasting from the IT Leadership Summit, we had an interesting chat about AI and IT. We speculate on the future of AI, the benefits of AI, and how AI will make you more strategic in the business. We also discuss corporate social media roasts and scary movies.

As part of our twelve hours of podcast live streaming for the IT Leadership Summit virtual event, we interviewed ITAM expert Todd Labrum about how IT asset management and security work hand-in-hand. We also do a quick breakdown of Ivanti's ITAM products, SmartAdvisors, and Pulse. We throw in a little Netflix talk as well.

We did two, back-to-back, six hour podcast live streams to commentate on the IT Leadership Summit virtual event. Here are some of the highlights from the commentary of the IT Executive Panel session, they keynote of the event. Before the session starts, we go over the event itself, plus a little video game and playground talk. At the end, we discuss McKay's favorite parts from the session.

This episode starts the way every good podcast should start...with a dad joke. We follow up with Donner Party talk and of course news on Elon, Apple, and Adobe. We chat about the IT Leadership Summit and our podcasting marathon. You can register here - https://www.itleadershipsummit.com/home. Stick around until the end to hear the most rebellious thing McKay did in high school.

We start off with a massive announcement. We're joined with Ivanti's VP of Global Sales Enablement, Doug Knight. Doug is a lover of all tech gadgets. Kickstarter campaign? He's probably invested in it. Big new gadget you've seen on Facebook? He probably already has it. Listen to this episode as we have a lot of fun geeking out about tech toys.

We're talking with three customers - Betty, Colton, and Michael. We discuss IT challenges, shadow IT, patching challenges, and the future of IT.

On today's rant cast, McKay and Steve cover several topics, including the potential demise of mancrush Elon Musk, blocking people on Twitter, airplane dynamics, Apple generating content, IT trends according to Ivanti's SDRs, and Steve's new toy. We also have an interesting Facebook debate.

On the first day of Interchange, we got to talk to a lot of customers. This episode includes three interviews, all which happen to be names that start with J. We have Jeff, Jason, and Jared on the pod today. We talk about Google Assistant, some Ivanti solutions, and solving slow logon times. And of course, you can't have an Interchange episode without cowboy and churro talk.

We start this interview by talking to Ivanti CISO Phil Richards about the major security concerns he hears from customers, the CISO of the year awards, risk management, and identity and access management. Then...things sort of fall apart. McKay and Steve almost get in a fight with cowboys on stilts, our CMO rides by on a bike dressed up as E.T., and McKay attempts a weak churro analogy. You can't make this sh*t up. 

We did it! For our last interview at Interchange Dallas, we talked to Jimmy Hinson of Big Giant Circles, who turns out to be the world's nicest man. We talk about chip tune, music licensing, and the back story of the Interchange IT Podcast theme song. We also talk to him about what it was like getting one of his songs on Stranger Things (season 2, episodes 2 and 7).
