Observed Tech PODCAST Episode 23

Welcome to Episode 23 of the Observed Tech PODCAST and the first since my retirement from the US Navy after 29 years of active duty. I have spent the last few weeks going through a pretty significant life change as I retired from the Navy in August and have been settling into a new routine.
