Cisco Tech Stories - ep 23 - Dead Air

In this episode, we host Dimitar Dimitrov a Collaboration expert in Webex Calling who tells us a story about dead air. All calls are working fine except sometimes, people can't hear each other at all. From a classic problem description, they end up troubleshooting the whole network hunting after the lost packets. Dimitar also works with AI and tells us about his role in shaping the future of Cisco AI Tech Support

404 Script Not Found: Digital Marketing

We're talking digital marketing, but what does that actually mean? We kick off and dig in on why we think it is too broad of a term.
Are social media managers the new real estate agents? Everyone thinks they can be one, but there is a lot that goes into it!
Kat gives her hit list of digital marketing best practices (10:50) off the cuff and flexes her knowledge (of the job she gets paid to do).
Maybe our most informative episode yet?

404 Script Not Found: That’s a Tariff

We're handing out tariffs, but not the kind you think! This episode is all about things we don't like at work, and thus wish we could tariff. From wearing many hats to meetings after hours, we run the gamut of everything that irks us at work. Follow along at home, and let us know what you would tariff!
This episode does NOT contain political views, stances or commentary on the actual tariffs (we promise).

404 Script Not Found: Wearable Tech

Kat is an Oura Ring snob, and thinks Apple Watches are "trash," while Ian is #TeamAppleWatch.
We then get into voice memos and how many texts the average person we get each day (turns out Ian needs more friends)!
We wrap up talking VR goggles and glasses, and how we think it may be a bridge too far, even if the Webex roadmap has a lot of cool stuff in it like holograms!
