From chip design at Bell Laboratories to…the world's #1 Venn diagram comedian??

Today, we're talking to Don McMillan, comedian and former chip designer at Bell Laboratories. We discuss how burning out in Silicon Valley led him to pursue stand-up comedy full time, why having an engineering mindset made him a better comedian, and how a random radio caller unknowingly changed the entire trajectory of his life.

All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast!
