When tech virtuoso Renee Bruning tunes into her storied career and the symphony of flavors that make up her life, the result is nothing short of captivating. Renee's vibrant journey sweeps us from the humming data centers housing mainframes to the cutting-edge of modern mobility, echoing the rhythm of her eclectic playlist and standout concert memories, with Natalie Merchant's performance striking a powerful chord. Our conversation dances between the beats of her professional milestones and her soulful engagements outside the office, reminding us that even a tech maven finds harmony in life's simple pleasures. As we swap stories of culinary escapades, it's not just the root beer shakes or the apple pie in a brown paper bag that tantalize the senses, but the mindfulness savored with each bite. There's an art to being present, especially when you're diving into a plate of chocolate-covered toffee, and we wax lyrical about how this artform can transform a workplace. From the importance of wellness in the professional sphere to the charming interruptions by our furry companions during video calls, we uncover how remote work is reshaping our human connections. Finally, we brew excitement with the announcement of our potential new podcast add-on, "Afternoon Tea with Friends," promising a blend of wellness and candid conversation. With Renee's mentorship echoing as a beacon of support, and the backing of Mel, Erika, and Lisa in these audio adventures, we extend an invitation to our listeners to join us on this exploratory journey.
