As we sipped on Bullet Bourbon, chuckling over memories of tequila nights and DJing transitions from vinyl to digital, our conversation took a deeper turn. We tell you about personal growth and industry evolution, with a special focus on the unexpected connections fostered by our podcast journey. From a LinkedIn message leading to a Dallas meeting, to the upcoming 35th anniversary of BuildX in Vancouver, we're toasting the serendipitous paths that guide our professional and personal lives.

Colin Cox, the prodigy from Electronic Arts who now shapes leaders as an executive coach, is joining us. He narrates his incredible voyage from a government program for teens to guiding CEOs, sharing wisdom on the transformative influence of aligning one's passions with their career. We're exploring not just the soaring heights of success, but also the resilience required to navigate the tech industry's ebbs and flows, proving that sometimes, life's detours can lead to the most rewarding destinations.

We wrap up our chat with insights into the complex dynamics of business management, strategic planning, and the power of living true to company values. Delving into the significance of breaking free from siloed thinking, we discuss how shared experiences, like hiking, forge bonds that can drive a team to achieve common goals. Throughout the episode, we draw parallels between the art of mountaineering and the business world, illustrating the necessity of self-leadership and the courage to face unpredictable challenges head-on. Join us for a heartfelt dialogue that's equal parts nostalgia, strategy, and inspiration.
