Episode 45: PNI Digital

Drew and James jump right into things because Audacity crashed during the first part of the show! That's ok, though; we still have the meetups and our special guest: Sam Sullivan from PNI Digital.

Sam Sullivan is a development manager at PNI Digital, but he is also the organizer of the Pluralsight Study Group meetup. PNI flys under the radar, but they supply some huge companies with some cool things. Not only does PNI provide the Pluralsight study group every week, but they also train up their newbies as well.

Sam goes into detail on some of the inner workings of PNI, how they hire, and why they need a security team after a "problematic incident."
