Working at the same place for a long time can have some amazing benefits. Every conversation, meeting, or ticket solved is another person you met, another piece of knowledge you have that you didn't have before and another piece of the huge puzzle that is slowly getting assembled inside your brain. Institutional knowledge can be an amazing thing, and we all love that person we work with who seems to have been there right from the beginning and just.knows.stuff. But does having too many puzzle pieces assembled in your mind prevent you from getting overly curious, for fear of tipping everything over? What about the excitement of starting a new job, meeting new people and discovering new ways of doing things? Today we are so happy to welcome Kitzy back to the Mac Admins podcast after a very long time to talk about rediscovering curiosity and what it's like to walk away from being the keeper of the lore.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
