On this episode, we discussed the upcoming election as well the fact that we are mourning a dear friend and colleague who passed suddenly a couple of days ago. Was it the current standard of corporate culture (overworked, overutilized, and underappreciated) or something else... we don't know.  But the go-go-go-go mentality, the metrics-driven non-people-centric approach to deliverables needs some course changing... as it certainly did not help. We will be sending up smoke for our friend this Samhain and we will always remember you for the charismatic, hilarious, and consummate professional you always were regardless of the situation. As he would say - that's the job.   Hail the Traveler.
