“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down.

His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist. He is the founder of CLAWS , an organization based in Botswana that's working at the intersection of cutting-edge wildlife research and community driven conservation. Since its start in 2014 and official launch as an NGO in 2020, CLAWS has been pioneering science-based, tech-forward strategies to reduce conflict between people and carnivores. By collaborating closely with local communities, especially traditional cattle herders, CLAWS supports both species conservation and rural livelihoods—making coexistence not just possible, but sustainable.…

Cory O’Daniel on Infrastructure as Code 25:58

hace 12 weeks25:58

Cloud adoption has outpaced the development of corresponding expertise in cloud operations, leading to a significant skills gap across the industry. In this regard, many organizations have had to abandon cloud initiatives because they lacked the necessary in-house expertise to manage them. As a result, critical projects are delayed, and costs and operational risks increase. Recognizing this gap, Cory O’Daniel co-founded MassDriver, a platform designed to simplify cloud infrastructure management for engineers without extensive cloud or operations experience. In this episode, Cory will explain how MassDriver allows teams to focus on building business value rather than getting bogged down in intricate cloud configurations.
