Peers Over Beers - Community Experts Podcast

This is the second of three, count them, three podcasts with our guest speaker Blake Ethridge. Like Netflix, we will release them all at once! Our original question posed to Blake was to understand how he executed on a super user program at Texas Instruments. However, like many of our conversations, we let the spirit run the show. The good news, we had a great hour discussion about many subjects. In this episode, we go deeper into the nuts and bolts of creating TI's supper user program.
How the super user program won over business units and created a 360 customer experience.

PS. This was our first "virtual" podcast and I had to do a lot of clean up. Therefore, please forgive some of the audio. :)
