In 2018, I partnered with Mark Mandel to create almost 60 podcasts on the Google Cloud Platform Podcast he originally created with Francesc Campoy Flores.

After the podcast, I wrote a retrospective, Stop Accepting Less than Equal, on how I approached diversity of experts and content for the podcast.
