Episode 3: Network+ and an Unexpected Turn

Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Encrypted Owl.

I plan on bringing a better episode next week filled with more content. Have a great weekend and I'll see you all next week!

This episode is the second installment of The Encrypted Owl, I talked about recently finishing my AWS-CP course and my first 3 courses at WGU. I discussed how I am planning on detailing my study strategies and what has worked for me in the past. Tune in next week to hear how my Net+ studying is going! We'll talk in depth about the first few chapters that I will have completed by then and what additional things I am doing to reinforce the concepts that I'm learning. The plan next week is to host our first live show; if anyone is interested in co-hosting, please reach out to me on LinkedIn. I would love to have somebody currently enrolled in a bootcamp program or at WGU; This way, you can document your learning progress and add to your resume.
