    Season 4 Episode 3: Changing Careers During a Pandemic
    Jan 15 2022
    Career changes can be hard. And when you add an on-going global pandemic and needing to care for your family, it can be quite stressful. Today's episode is a conversation with Matt Larson, a buddy of mine who went through just that scenario. He talks about how he approached learning a new field while balancing home schooling, and what it looked like to find a new job when the time was right.

    Season 4 Episode 1: VDI Security with Patrick Coble
    Jan 10 2021
    I'm kicking off the 4th season of the ExploreVM Podcast with a slightly different format.
    Episodes will be around 30 minutes, and in some cases consist of 3 different guests with their own
    short segment.

    It's all about evolving the content and keeping the show interesting.
    Also, I want to thank everyone for their years of listenership. I appreciate all of the followers and subscribers!

    2020 was an off year for the Podcast, but I did start another show: The Blocks and Bites grilling and technology show on YouTube. Take a watch and let me know what you think!

  • Season 3 Episode 7 - HCI Series: StorMagic

    Season 3 Episode 7 - HCI Series: StorMagic
    Dec 3 2019
    Hello, and welcome to the ExploreVM Podcast.
    Today we tackle the last episode in the Hyperconverged series.

    As I mentioned in previous episodes, the goal for this series is to help build an understanding of hyperconverged infrastructure, it's place in the datacenter world, and spotlight the various ways that vendors are deploying HCI.

    Once again, I have contacted the vendors directly ( or have been contacted) to participate.

    That being said, this is NOT a sponsored series.
    I am not receiving any sort of compensation for these appearances.
    And all vendors appearing have had a strict set of rules laid out for their appearance.

    1) No Bashing other HCI Vendors
    2) Keep it technical, this is a technical podcast
    3) This is NOT a free commercial for your product
    4) No bashing other HCI Vendors



    And thank you for listening.
    This was the last scheduled HCI Series episode, but if you would like to speak to your product please do not hesitate to reach out. I would love to schedule more HCI related episodes.

    To continue the conversation around today's topic, submit a show idea, or be a guest on the ExploreVM Podcast, please contact me on Twitter @ExploreVM, Email Paul@ExploreVM.com, or Facebook.com/ExploreVM.

  • Season 3 Episode 6: HCI Series - Nutanix

    Season 3 Episode 6: HCI Series - Nutanix
    Nov 14 2019
    In this episode we continue with the HCI series. This round, Nutanix gets their turn.
    The goal for this series is to help build an understanding of hyperconverged infrastructure, it's place in the data center world, and spotlight the various ways that vendors are deploying HCI.

    Now, we are going to approach this series a bit differently as I've reached out to the vendors directly to appear on the show versus the usual community members that I have on as guests.

    That being said, this is NOT a sponsored series.
    I am not receiving any sort of compensation for these appearances.
    And all vendors appearing have had a strict set of rules laid out for their appearance.

    1) No Bashing other HCI Vendors
    2) Keep it technical, this is a technical podcast
    3) This is NOT a free commercial for your product
    4) No bashing other HCI Vendors

    Alright, with the ground rules out of the way, let's begin.
