In this week’s episode, we have a tag team matchup between myself and Jeff on one side, and the dynamic duo of Jairus Mitchell and Jennifer Calogero, both of the open source technology company Red Hat. We dive into everyone’s favorite Halloween candy, make tons of pro wrestling analogies, and even find out if Jairus is truly An Internet Robot.
In this Halloween special of the Page 2 Podcast, we welcome two powerhouse guests from Red Hat: Jairus Mitchell and Jennifer Calogero. It’s a fun, candid, and deep dive into B2B SEO, internal advocacy, technical challenges, and the hilarious chaos that is Halloween parenting.
