Let me tell you about my fascinating chat with Brian, a technical advisor who helps business leaders make smart tech decisions. As someone who used to be an outdoor guide, Brian took an unexpected path into the tech world. But after 15+ years working in software engineering and cybersecurity, he's turned his expertise into a passion for advising executives on everything from cloud computing to choosing the right software. In our talk, Brian shares tons of practical tips for embracing technology in your business - even if you think you're not a tech person! We cover: ✔️ How to get strategic about adopting new software ✔️ Red flags to watch out for when evaluating tools ✔️ Building processes to support your tech stack ✔️ Keeping your data safe in an age of hacking And much more. Brian's insightful approach will help you navigate the complex technology landscape with confidence. So if you're an entrepreneur or exec overwhelmed by tech decisions, don't miss this friendly and informative chat! Brian even offers a free 30-minute consult for anyone preparing to make a big tech investment.
