 Key takeaways:Being laid off "forced" Colleen to upskill, so that she could broaden her skill set and therefore open up more job possibilitiesThe importance of having a good support network - Bart Farrell encouraged Colleen to get into video editingHow to put out a great short format video? Be a great storyteller!Even though Colleen didn't find a job as a journalist, she realized that she could still find writing jobs in other areasSome people feel intimidated by storytelling, even when they're constantly exposed to great stories.If you're going to be a great storyteller, you have to be a great listener.Writing about a topic with which you are unfamiliar means putting in the time to do research and cite references. AI can help with some of the grunt work, but it won't replace crafting a well-written story.How support from the cloud native community helped Colleen during her time being unemployedEven with DEI initiatives going the way of the dodo, we need to keep speaking about these important topics and elevating underrepresented groups.Having a strong community like the CNCF keeps us wanting to stay in that community.Tell your story, because it will always resonate with someone, and it can change your life.About our guest:"Allow myself to introduce...myself." - Austin PowersEver feel like you're juggling flaming torches planning events—trying to keep all the details in the air while something’s always about to catch fire? Yep, she's been there. Events have a way of throwing curveballs, and when tech and tools aren’t playing nice, chaos can easily take over.That’s where Colleen Coll comes in. She love turning event madness into magic. Whether it’s on-site event coverage using digital media, live reporting, or behind-the-scenes management, she makes sure everything runs like clockwork. She's also a huge fan of using There.App, which simplifies on-location event management by keeping everyone in sync and streamlining the entire process, so no detail gets lost in the shuffle.From tech conferences to startup launches, I capture the moments that matter and keep things smooth, whether it's happening live or behind the scenes. And when she's not on the ground, she's writing—blogs, articles, and ghostwriting for tech leaders to tell the bigger story behind the event, brand, or mission.Find our guest on:BlueskyLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/colleen-coll-b971505/)Find us on:All of our social channels are on bento.me/geekingoutAll of Adriana's social channels are on bento.me/adrianamvillelaShow notes:TLDR newsletterBart FarrellMarino Wijay (on Geeking Out!)Tim Banks (on Geeking Out!)Tech Field DayFuturum GroupVisible ImpactState of Open ConAmanda Brock on Geeking OutStephen AugustusPriyanka Sharma (former executive director of the CNCF)The Duckbill GroupTranscript:ADRIANA:Hey everyone, welcome to Geeking Out, the podcast, in which we dive into the career journeys of some of the amazing humans in tech and geek out on topics like software development, DevOps, observability, reliability, and everything in between.

And, you know, like, I'm pinching myself. I'm like, why did I not have you on sooner? Like.COLLEEN:Well, I'd just be honored. I am honored that you finally asked. But I wasn't expecting it because I was just loving it as a spectator. Because you have so many. So many interesting people talking about whatever. Even if it's tech, even if it's not tech. Just kicking out, period. And geeking out in general, in particular topics. So, when you asked me, I was like, what? So. Yeah. Thanks for having me.ADRIANA:Yeah. Super excited. Okay, well, I'm going to start off with, some icebreaker questions. Okay. First question. Are you a lefty or a righty?COLLEEN:I am a righty. Most of my partners are always lefties. ADRIANA:Really? COLLEEN:Oh, yeah. I probably shouldn't be telling everybody, but both of my husbands, both former husbands were lefties.ADRIANA:That is so wild!COLLEEN:They’re great guys. Nothing bad. We're all cool.ADRIANA:I got to ask, for, for a righty living with a lefty. Were there any, like, nuances that you noticed?COLLEEN:Okay. Now, thinking about it. I think that they were. Oh, yes, I do. I think they had better handwriting than me. So I can't I never, like, had the chance to see if that was, you know, to test that out, that theory out. But both lefties had better, way better handwriting than myself.ADRIANA:That's so interesting.
