We take a quick break after our first two episodes this season to do a recap of the interviews thus far, Aaron and Jason present the news segment where we discuss recent headlines, and then an update on interviews coming up. In case you did not listen to the first two episodes, we recap the great information shared by both Congressman Buddy Carter and Mayor Karen Williams.
We also touch on the recent Change ransomware attacks, Best Buy layoffs, and impact both may have on providers. We then highlight the exciting interviews lined up for the remainder of the season. So, join us again for our new episode on Wednesday April 17th.
