After a long hiatus not sailing the high seas, Captain Michael set sail with Astrid Withrow of Tesla Healing and Wellness and the two enjoy an intellectually stimulating conversation about frequencies, energy and the quantum world. This podcast features some wonderful stories and offers and fresh perspective on alternative options to achieve health and wellness leveraging the healing power of frequencies at the cellular level. Worth noting is that health very much has a link to one's mindset.

Greetings Seagoers!
I had the honor of setting sail with James (Jimmy) Baker, Author and Public Sector Marketing Strategist recently, and we had a great conversation about his most recent book.
This book is designed for kids, parents, grandparents, and everyone else in between to learn how to protect their digital dust, identity, and privacy. Link to book
If nothing else, this podcast will give you cause to stop and pause and reflect on you and your family's cybersecurity posture.
Jimmy and I go way back, all the way to 2009. It was great to sail with him!
Enjoy!

I can't say enough about how much good content is in this episode! I reconnected with Bob Earley, another one of the Azalea Little League Baseball legends doing big things in the Hampton Roads Community. We talk about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness - just kidding - we definitely cover a lot of ground with topics such as Little League Sports, the impact of mentoring on one's future, our dads, hopes, dreams and the sucker punch that is life.
This episode was fun to record. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording it. We had a great chat and covered a lot of ground!
Cheers,
El Capitan
Greetings Content Curious and Loyal Listeners!
Yours truly (Captain Caveman) set sail with a wonderful band of passengers yesterday evening. Raw content here chock full of over 130 years of collective government wisdom! A must watch and listen to episode, and some of the best podcast content to date! This was so much fun! 👏🏾.
This podcast episode sails into deep, reflective waters and stops at some important ports of call. This voyage also covers the storied careers of 4 of the State of California's most seasoned retired technology executives, offers insights into their individual formulas for success and sheds light on the future of IT in the State of California, outlining a surprising call to action. Current IT leaders should definitely have a listen (and a laugh!).
Dale Jablonsky Teri Bennett Paul Benedetto Joe Panora thank you SO MUCH for hopping aboard for another voyage. What a wonderful fireside chat we had. Sorry you all didn't get to order any virtual food! 🤣. But boy oh boy was this voyage fun!
Cheers,
El Capitan
Greetings Listeners,
Recently, I authored a post about why I stepped down from one of my most recent jobs as California's first Chief Product Officer, even though it was a promotion for me. I figured I would kickoff my first podcast of 2023 by making my narration of this post my first content of the season. There's just something different about hearing it rather than reading it.
Enjoy!

What an Episode! This one goes deep! Life is hard folks. It's amazing what we are given in terms of gifts and talents and how things happen in our lives that chart an unexpected course that is mostly out of our control.
Courtney Heath (aka "Tank") joins Captain Caveman on the high seas for a mentally stimulating and inspiring chat on 10/24/2022. I can't say enough about how deep this episode goes! Courtney has had quite a journey. This episode is a must listen!
There is nothing worse than someone approaching you with a perception that is based off of a flawed assumption that, because <insert whatever here>, you shouldn't be doing this or can't do that or be that. Unconscious bias is a mother! Remember, sometimes people see things in you that you might not even see, and that opens up doors that lead to incredible opportunities. Be tuned into that frequency!
Enjoy this content, my friends. I certainly enjoyed recording it with Courtney!

Man...I thought I had a radio voice for the ages...Vidhu Shekhar has me beat! Vidhu stopped by my house for lunch and a lunchtime chat on the high seas in person, which was a first and I will definitely be doing more of these types of podcasts!
Over full bellies, we chat about the impact of the pandemic on the collective society, what it all means in terms of our families and lives, and we just have a good time.
Lunchtime just got a whole lot more interesting. A new opportunity to connect and vibe has surfaced on the high seas!
Enjoy the content!

This (very explicit) podcast just happens to be one of my absolute favorites. It is chock full of wisdom and flavor! You don't hear Josh's Norfolk accent...until he says "phone"...haha!
It was very windy out on the high seas, but you'll also hear the many birds of Norfolk following our cruise ship in the background :)
Most folks from Norfolk will always call me Mike, by the way ;). Some things never change! :)
My good friend Josh Updegraff go sailing and into quite deep waters, actually. We cover:
We're all just human beings at the end of the day. "We're all in the same...fuckin' game!"
"If you're gonna talk the talk, walk the walk. Don't fuckin' cop out and be a bullshit artist!"
Wake up! It's time to do good! Sit back, relax and enjoy the content!
Cheers and Blockem'!

Let your mind wander and wonder with this insightful episode! Kumar Sah and Captain Caveman set sail on a thought-provoking excursion that covers evolution, humanity, what's in a name, and our planet. Talk about no shortage of things that make you go hmmm!
Enjoy!

This audiobook audition caught my eye. Detoxes are hard, and this one would be quite the combo! Enjoy!

The Cave Boat is an equal opportunity sailing vessel that promotes diversity and inclusion. After all, variety is the spice of life! The Captain sets sail with Charles "Bubba Gaming" Duke, aka Bubba Duke - the Sultan of Shit Talking! The two sea goers set sail and chat about the good ole days of Little League baseball, high school baseball at rival schools, the trials and tribulations of a content creator and brand management, and poke fun at the super special Norfolkian dialect.
Eastern District veterans should have a listen!
Enjoy the episode, and that special Norfolkian southern drawl!

The FIRST voyage of 2022 has now concluded! It sure did feel good to be back on the high seas. It had been a minute! For my maiden voyage of 2022, I reeled in a fellow podcaster, Joe Toste of Tech Tables and brought him aboard my virtual cruise ship for a voyage on the high seas. If you want to learn just how deep the podcasting rabbit hole goes, this episode is worth a listen!
On this voyage, we covered:
Thanks for hopping aboard, Joe! I look forward to connecting again in the future!

'Tis the season for Holiday Humor! Here are the full lyrics to the song I wrote and recorded this morning:
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk,
Beloved productivity!
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk,
You keep a Captain happy!
So many screens, so much to do,
No window screens to toggle through,
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk,
You keep a Caveman happy!
------
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk,
A true tech geek must have one!
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk,
A multi-screen conundrum!
Web surfings, Teams and even Zoom
A single screen provides no room
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk,
A must-have for us tech geeks!
-------
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk,
A PDF or Word doc
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk
From 8AM to 5 O'Clock
You qualify if you have two
Big monitors and a TV too
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk
Now telework is fun!
--------
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk,
I narrate books and podcast
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk,
Essential if you multitask!
I read the word up on one screen,
And on Screen two, the track I clean,
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk
A worker bee's best friend!
-----
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk,
HDMI, Display Port.
Oh Megadesk, Oh Megadesk,

No one's config too big or small
Mount your TV, up on your wall

Essential for remote workers!

Another hobby of mine is investing in and trading cryptocurrencies, so I figured it would be fun to audition for this audiobook on investing in cryptocurrency.
Dogecoin and Shiba Inu to the moon! :)

I think I've found a way to pass the post Thanksgiving holiday idle time buy nurturing my podcasting hobby. In this case, I'm auditioning for some short projects that won't eat up gobs of time that I can mow down quickly.
Check out this kids trivia audiobook project I've auditioned for. Let me know if you think I'll get the part!

In January, the next cohort of the IT Leadership Academy, ITLA 29, gets underway! California state government has an IT Leadership Academy named ITLA.
The Information Technology Leadership Academy (ITLA) is a 17-week program for public sector IT professionals with a focus on developing the critical leadership skills needed by the state’s IT workforce.
Participants in the academy are selected from state and other public agencies and departments that work in information technology programs. Individuals with a vision for enterprise-wide thinking, strong potential for career advancement into executive or senior management positions, and experience carrying out their organization’s mission and vision are encouraged to apply.
ITLA is the State of California IT community's equivalent of Top Gun flight school. I went through the program in 2015-2016, and it really jumpstarted my career.
I've prepared a virtual speech for this year's upcoming cohort. I'm looking forward to them listening to it!
Cheers,
Captain Caveman
