Today’s podcast is a special pre-holiday episode and there are no separate announcement, main, Q & A, or closing segments. The bulk of today’s episode covers a bit of my background and history: how and why I started in the industry and ultimately – how I came to write the “IAM Success Tips” book series. We’ve had a lot of new listeners join in the past year (thank you!) and a number of inquiries into my background and experience as it relates to Identity Access Management (IAM) and Enterprise IT in general. If you’re interested in how the books came to be and why — up close and personal — then I invite you to share the experience with me and share your thoughts in the blog comments.

One other thing today – I announce the special Black Friday Sale URL. A new menu choice has been added to our main site menu which will contain all of the product links, special prices and “Buy Now” buttons for the Friday sale.
