As we established last episode, Unicorns are a big part of our IT ecosystem. This week on the Geek Whisperers we discuss Unicorn Husbandry from a one-on-three level. Friend of the podcast and respected influencer Chris Wahl joins us to paint a picture of Unicorns in the wild.

We discuss at length about:

  • How do you do your day job and still do this other thing?
  • The tension between authenticity and being “for hire”
  • All the value that isn’t derived from money

A few of the links we talked about:

    Thanks for having me on, it was a great experience. If anyone else is on the fence about offering to join in on a conversation – take my word for it and jump in with both feet.
