Jobs are great, and we’re not just talking Steve here. Some of us are even fortunate enough to have a job. In the current economic climate, changing jobs isn’t always something that can be planned, so holding onto a job is often our primary concern. But how do we know when we have outgrown our current role? What are some of the signs that it’s time to start looking? How do we know if we are jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire? What are some of the strategies that we can use to make sure we advance our career and preserve our sanity? Hosts: Tom Bridge - Marcus Ransom - Guests: Robert Hammen - Links: W.

Episode 398: App Installers and Jamf Pro
Apple has done a great job of providing first-party applications to achieve pretty much anything you would want to do using their devices. From iMovie to Final Cut Pro, contentious changes to the Photos app, and the productivity tools like Pages, Numbers, and the awesome power of Keynote. Despite this, we generally need to provide much more than this to our users, installing applications from many different vendors with wildly varying approaches to installation, configuration and updates. There are almost as many approaches to managing the installation and patching of third-party software as there are vendors, and today we are going to speak to Adam Derrick from Jamf, and Dave Goldberg from Horizon BCBS about using Jamf App Installers in production.

Episode 388: Behind the Masque of Network Relays with Matt Vlasach
Who loves VPNs? Folks in the network security team, please put your hands down - we weren’t asking you… Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way that we could offer privacy and protection out there in that wretched hive of scum and villainy we call the internet? Wouldn’t it be even better if it was baked into the operating system so each vendor wasn’t just making things up as they go? Apple announced iCloud private relay in 2021, and in 2023 we got what I guess you could call the “Enterprise version” - Network Relays. Today we have Matt Vlasach here to talk about why Network Relays are awesome and how we can use them to make Apple devices more secure and useable Hosts: Tom Bridge - Marcus Ransom - Guests: Matt Vlasach - Links: MASQUE Protocol IETF WWDC 2023 - Protect App Traffic with Network Relays Sponsors: If you're interested in sponsoring the Mac Admins Podcast, please email for more information.
