In this episode, we’re joined by David Neal, or ReverentGeek as he’s probably more familiar to many. David originally joined us on a MongoDBTV livestream back in late June, and although that was all video (check out MongoDB.tv to find out more), his content was so compelling, and his story so insightful that we thought it would be great to bring this to a wider audience, so, we adapted our discussion for this podcast and are delighted to share it with you today. In our conversation, David talks about what started him on this journey, and shares his insights and tips on becoming a Superhuman Communicator!
