The One Hundred Episode

Technology Tap: CompTIA Study Guide

[email protected]

The mic feels heavier at 100—not from gear, but from history. We started with a doctoral dare, a $40 class, and a shaky first recording. We built a library that helped learners pass A+, Network+, and Security+ while connecting the dots between hardware, operating systems, storage, networking, and the human choices behind every device and policy. Along the way, our mission sharpened: pair skill with story, prioritize curiosity over checkboxes, and keep ethics at the center of cybersecurity and cloud.
We revisit the moments that defined the journey: early fundamentals that formed a base, a pivot into security architecture and zero trust, and the realization that protocols carry purpose. DHCP becomes resource allocation. Firewalls express trust. Wireshark reveals perspective. The show grew with the audience—from notes to narratives to lived stories sent from classrooms, help desks, and late-night study sessions. A single email about subnets “finally clicking” mattered more than download spikes, shaping how we teach: simpler words, stronger analogies, and transparent context.
Five pillars now anchor everything we make: accessibility for every learner and veteran, context that grounds acronyms in origin, curiosity that asks better questions, community that turns listeners into collaborators, and reflection that slows tech long enough for wisdom to land. We also share the personal side—health resets, renewed consistency, and the choice to keep going when the stats dip—because sustainable teaching requires a sustainable teacher.
Looking ahead, we’re doubling down on practical Q&A, live sessions, and clear paths through Network+, Security+, and cloud that never lose sight of ethics and inclusion. If you found value in the archive—from storage myths to authentication breakthroughs—help steer the next hundred. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s studying, and send your biggest question for episode 101. Your curiosity sets the agenda.
