About Coffee Meets Cloud

Where tech careers, leadership lessons, and life’s daily chaos collide — all over a strong cup of coffee. Hosted by three tech professionals and full-time working moms, Coffee Meets Cloud brings you real conversations about navigating the evolving world of technology, growing your career, and balancing it all with the beautiful (and sometimes messy) realities of everyday life. Whether you’re leading a deployment, managing a project, or negotiating bedtime (or all three at once), you’ll find a seat at our table. No filters. No fluff. Just honest, caffeinated conversations about thriving — at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

The Risk You Don’t Know You’re Taking: Why Employer Benefits Aren’t Enough

In this episode of Coffee Meets Cloud, we sit down with insurance agency owner Mark Irwin for a conversation that hits closer to home than most people realize. From life insurance and disability coverage to the hidden gaps in employer-provided benefits, we unpack the risks many families don’t discover until it’s too late. Mark breaks down the common misconceptions around workplace coverage, what actually happens when you change jobs or retire, and why “having benefits” doesn’t always mean you’re truly protected. We also keep it real and practical — covering the difference between term and whole life insurance, the overlooked importance of disability coverage, and the simple questions everyone should ask about their current policies. Whether you’re early in your career, raising a family, or just trying to make smarter financial decisions, this episode is packed with insight that could change the way you think about protection and long-term stability. And of course, we start with coffee, comfort food, and Mark’s journey into the insurance world before diving into the bigger conversation.

Coffee, Kids, and Conferences

This week, we’re bringing you the real mix of life behind the scenes—coffee in hand, kids in chaos, and conference season in full swing. We kick things off at home, sharing the very unfiltered realities of parenting—from sick-day surprises and school challenges to navigating speech support, ADHD wins, and the long wait times that come with today’s healthcare system. Along the way, we get into the moments no one prepares you for… and what they’re quietly teaching us about patience, consistency, and emotional regulation. Then we shift gears into conference mode—breaking down what it’s really like attending events like Dreamforce, TrailheadX, and Google Next. From packed sessions and badge logistics to flight struggles and navigating Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, we’re unpacking the parts no highlight reel shows. We close by connecting it all—how the same skills we’re building as parents (self-regulation, awareness, consistency) are the exact ones that show up in how we lead teams, make decisions, and show up professionally. Because whether you’re managing a toddler meltdown or a high-stakes project… the playbook isn’t all that different.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
