In this episode I get to catch up with veterans and Red Hat Sr. Consultants Benny Fields and Matt Riensch. We discuss their journey from very different military backgrounds to their current roles. Hear about the consultant role, the underestimated skills of military members (know your value), "Imposter Syndrome" and much, much more!
