SHOW NOTES:
**Topic 1 **- Welcome back to the show, it’s been way too long. What are you up to these days?
**Topic 2 **- We wanted to bring you back on because you’ve gone through quite a few transitions as an engineer, from infrastructure to cloud to vendor-side to customer-side. Can you share some of the ways that you were able to make transitions, and how you overcame concerns about some of the big leaps?
**Topic 3 - Some projects are a success (EMCworld Labs), often wildly successful. How did you deal with success, and then how did you deal with the ongoing maintenance once the shininess wore off? **
**Topic 4 **- Some projects are less successful (vCloudAir). How did you personally handle some of the problems, and how did you grow from it?
**Topic 5 **- You’re in an engineering leadership role now (and have been for the last few years). How has that changed your perspective, and what are some of the lessons you’ve learned?
**Topic 6 **- Can you quickly tell the stories of all the Nick Weavers?
