Tune in next week! Check out the lineup, follow the presentations, and let me know what architectural or roadmap questions you have for these vendors. This is all about trust, alignment, and community.

Verify the authenticity of your (wide) receiver before you pass the hash. Man-in-the-middle attacks happen fast when it's down to the wire. 🔐 #NFD41 #CiscoChampion #SiliconValley #skillposition

I hate lazy phishing tests, but lazy IRL scams work daily. 🤦🏾‍♂️ What if I told you: I’m a 49ers WR needing a quick loan My wealth advisor is 14 I own Nebraska beachfront Meet me in "San Frisco" this October 😂😭🤷🏾‍♂️ I really do run POSTs, routes, curls, and digs all day. 💻🏈

Thank you as well to everyone I have helped over the years for listening, trusting my advice, and putting faith in my perspective. Stay tuned. I have some trust building exercises loading and more news coming soon! #CiscoChampion #NetworkingEngineering #TechCommunity #ZeroTrust

I want to express a huge thanks to Greyson and Danielle within the Champion program, my peers, my broader professional circles, and my personal support systems for putting trust in me.

Operating in good faith, exercising professional due diligence, and maintaining mutual respect are paramount hallmarks for our industry and society as a whole. The internet is simply a conglomeration of peerings formed by trust between a hodgepodge of companies, universities, governments, and more.

Ironically, we often overlook the human element, even though authenticity is the crux of these arguments. To a degree, trust is still something we place in people.

This milestone also makes me reflect deeply on the concept of trust. We operate in an era dominated by zero-trust architectures, strict verification, automated security, and questions whether posts are purely AI generated.

Much of this work is visible publicly through discussions, my posts here on social media, and technical deep-dives; an equally important segment of the work happens behind the scenes in private evaluations, feedback loops, mentorship, advice shared in DMs, and continuous learning.

The program creates opportunities for collaboration and early insights, but it also reflects a continuous commitment to technical depth, community engagement, and sharing knowledge with others.

Excited and humbled to share that I have been selected as a Cisco Insider Champion 2026! Being named part of this global network of technology leaders, advocates, and innovators is a tremendous honor, and for a fourth year in a row, it's one I don't take lightly.

If you order drinks, @ubereats.bsky.social drivers will not pickup/deliver the drinks over 40% of the time. Not sure if it's the restaurants, driver, or UberEats system. But Doordash is better. Then Ubereats once offered me a $1 credit for a missing drink. What can I drink for $1 post tax & fees?

Be careful of false dichotomies. Two things can oft be simultaneously true. For example: Bungee gum, it has the properties of both gum and rubber.

Sometimes the result is the synergy of many issues. The top 20% issues make up 80% of impact. Everyone loves to say look at this one thing that caused X. But really, on its own, that one thing doesn't cause X. And 80% of the factors played very small parts, eliminating is moot.

The AI is trained to guess what the humans are most likely to do. The AI flyers look the same because the human flyers do to. Besides em dashes, most of the things AI overdoes are the statistically norms.
