Mike is talking with cloud expert Corey Knapp today. Corey has 20 years of cloud experience, specializing in Azure, dev ops, and more. He is also a great mentor who enjoys teaching others and he has a lot of wisdom to share with you on the podcast.

In this episode, we talk about…

What Corey has been up to lately, his career background, and how he got started in this industry.
The importance of landing zones, so that you have a proper foundation to expand from, and how to deploy them successfully.
Why you need to lose your ego to thrive in this business and be willing to surround yourself with people you can learn from.
Why everyone in the industry needs to share their knowledge, rather than trying to keep it to themselves. IT is a team sport!
Tips for folks looking for a team to work with in tandem, like posting blogs, social media, and being open to constructive criticism.
How starting a blog or putting your code out on the internet can serve as a portfolio and help you prove your experience in interview situations.
Why if you want to learn Azure, the best thing to do is make up some small projects for yourself and just start doing and practicing.
How the Cloud is here to stay, so now is the time to learn all the skills you need.
The best career advice Corey has gotten - which is all about not being afraid to ask for help and to reach out to mentors.
