It's International Women's Day Season! Last year's panelist Essye Miller and host Ashley Brush joined Mock IT to dish out all the details on what's in store for this year's event.

We also chatted about everything from mastering those tricky office chats (because, let's face it, sometimes you owe it to yourself and others to have those tough conversations) to navigating the wildness that comes with being a woman in the tech/gov industry. And hey, we even had a heart-to-heart about knowing when to give yourself a little sprinkle of self-love and when to roll up your sleeves and dive headfirst into the hustle.

So, our fierce listeners, let's strut into IWD with our heads held high, our hearts open wide, and our spirits shining bright. We're unstoppable, we're fabulous, and together, we're rewriting the script of success.

Join us on March 8 in person in Reston and virtually HERE on YouTube. Register now! https://mss.fyi/4bvuJ0L

So, you're interested in Research and Development (R&D)? This is the episode for you. We chatted with Johhny Bouder about how he landed in the world of R&D and his work on open-source projects. Beyond talking about his techy prowess, we learned that you might find him in a mosh pit, or if you're having a dinner party, he may just bring you homemade cheese.

Hannah Hunt, a Distinguished Technical Fellow, joined Mock IT to discuss her passion for government and how she had known since sixth grade that she wanted to be a part of the industry. If you're curious about government start-ups, navigating the fast-paced trajectory of your career, and the fascinating idea of data as a product, then this episode is a must-listen.


But it's not all serious business; We also chat about what Taylor Swift-era Hannah has chosen for herself and a little (okay, a lot) about Harry Potter.
