Plow Networks
Technology is an important aspect of most businesses today, but the industry itself comes with many nuances that make it hard to navigate for many. You don't need to be an IT expert, though, to join Cameron Plato, Brian Law, and Bryan Link as they delve into both the good and bad of the IT industry through personal experiences and interviews with relevant business leaders. Each episode contains powerful insights and a few laughs that bring transparency and authenticity to a seemingly broken industry.
Ep. 9: Why networks don‘t need to be complex and how to avoid buying technologies you don‘t need
Bryan is back this week with network services specialist Ryan Harris. If you are looking for some no bull $hIT conversation about buying technology, this is the episode for you. Bryan asks Ryan (we know, a tongue twister) about his opinion on complex vs. simple networks, what technologies are worth buying, and how he cooks his Thanksgiving turkey.
