I was so thrilled when Mary-Jo Foley contacted me sometime around June 2019 and invite me to join her as a guest on her MJFChat podcast series on Petri.com. I have known Mary-Jo aka MJ for a few years and have had the pleasure of doing some community focused work with her and her counterpart, Paul Thurrot during Microsoft Ignite 2017 and 2018 in Orlando. I definitely could not say no, and jumped on the opportunity to do a fun and informative podcast with her.

Mary-Jo is a well respected technology journalist and known to everyone in the tech industry. Here’s her short bio:

Mary Jo Foley has covered the tech industry for 30 years for a variety of publications, including ZDNet, Redmond Magazine and more. She is the author of Microsoft 2.0: How Microsoft plans to stay relevant in the post-Gates era (John Wiley & Sons, 2008). She also is the co-host of the “Windows Weekly” podcast on the TWiT network.
