Eps 09 - Colby Goodrum of Sidekick IT

On this episode of Café Technika, host Tom Roberto – The Technology Shaman – sits down with Colby Goodrum, founder of Sidekick IT. Colby takes us through a winding journey, from the high-stakes corridors of big companies and the relentless pace of private equity ventures to the freedom and challenge of building something of his own. Along the way, he opens up about a near-death experience that forever changed how he views business, leadership, and life itself. But this conversation goes far deeper than boardrooms and balance sheets. Colby shares how he keeps himself fresh in an industry that never sleeps, the surprising ways artificial intelligence is already shaping his world, and why he dedicates Sundays to shutting it all down in favor of analog thinking. It’s a reset ritual that clears the noise and reminds him what really matters. What unfolds is an inspiring, candid exchange that blends technology, philosophy, and the human side of entrepreneurship. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to push through the grind, create your own lane, and discover perspective in the process, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.

Eps 08 - Chris Romaine of Palo Alto Networks

In this powerful episode of Café Technika, Tom Roberto — the Technology Shaman — reconnects with a voice from the past: Chris Romaine, now a standout leader at Palo Alto Networks. Two technologists. Both born in New Jersey. Both shaped by hands-on experience, early hustle, and a relentless focus on getting things done right. A team-up between two minds who understand that success in tech isn’t about titles. It’s about tools, habits, and perspective. Chris shares his journey from modest beginnings to a senior role at one of the world’s top cybersecurity firms. No corporate gloss. Just straight insight on how to grow, adapt, and stay relevant in an industry that moves fast and doesn’t look back. Together, Tom and Chris explore the tools that actually move the needle — both digital and personal, how to build credibility when no one’s watching, disciplined curiosity as a career superpower, avoiding noise - chasing meaning, and cutting through hype in today’s tech world, why humility and honesty still win in a room full of noise, the importance of remembering where you came from — and how that keeps your edge sharp. There’s no script here. Just two professionals talking openly about the work, the craft, and the mindset it takes to build a career that matters. Chris brings clarity, experience, and grounded wisdom from the world of cybersecurity. Tom brings his usual Shamanic perspective — connecting the dots between philosophy and practical tech leadership. For anyone trying to build something real — whether it’s a network, a team, or a career — this episode delivers. It’s a reminder that the best guides are often the ones who walked the road before you… and lived to tell the tale.
