P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"Hi, my name is Nicholas Xenos, and I am the Academic Alliance manager for Juniper Networks. And in that function, I coordinate the relationship between community colleges, universities, and other learning institutions, to extend the resources and training opportunities for students as they look forward to learning and creating a career path for themselves. My career path has been somewhat varied and perhaps a little bit different than just one standard path. I have been in the military. I'm a retired Navy captain. And I've done a variety of things over the years. But the technology aspect has always been there from my high school days when I was playing on a PDP-8 and the IBM 360 series. The foundational learning that I started there, the programming skills, understanding the technology and what makes it tick, has been kind of a consistent factor in everything that I've done. From there, by the time I got into college, I was already teaching some IT in those early days. Because there were only about five of us that had any knowledge of it. And then, I used that in my Navy. And I had a business in New York where I was incorporating local area networks as they came into the picture, got into the wide area networking, have worked for Novell and Cisco and FileNet and some other large industry players. And here I am now trying to give back to the next generation of learners and the next generation of people who are going to be in this industry and make a difference. The question of what you wish you knew when you started-- sometimes you don't actually know what that is. But I would challenge anybody who's out there to learn everything you possibly can about the industry that you're working in right now. You can always make decisions to change things. But that foundational learning that you get initially is going to be something that you can build on. And sometimes, take that knowledge and put it into a different industry in a way that will make a change, make a difference, create new parameters for the way that particular industry works. So I guess that's probably it. It's really exciting to be passionate about what you do. Enjoy it, and just make the most of that particular opportunity.
