Ukraine and "Data Doomsday"
It's a crazy time in the world right now, and a combination of 24-hour news networks and social media is putting the situation in Ukraine directly (virtually) in front of us. Today, we talk about the tech in play and the kind of cyber warfare on display that no one ever thinks about. On the domestic side of things… Seth talks about some self-proclaimed "first-world problems."

Living in a world where data is so critical… what is the best way to prepare? We have lots of questions.
