We’re joined by Kenny Franks, our good friend and former Corporate Operations Engineer at Google, to discuss Susan’s tragic passing. Kenny worked as an engineer for the Techstop tech support team for over a decade and is one of the most respected corporate engineering employees at Google (Jordan wrote this, and Kenny will probably blush).
