Today we welcome Todd Klimkowski to the Irish Goodbye team.In this episode, we dig into a big question: Are large corporate conventions like Dreamforce really worth it?We talk through what each group actually gets out of them — the company, the clients, and the reps. We also get into the logistics of pulling one off, what makes them successful, and what’s best avoided.It’s a new format for us, a roundtable chat about a single topic, and we’d love your input. If there’s something you’d like us to debate or unpack in a future episode, let us know.And as always, don’t forget to subscribe for more honest, funny, and slightly unfiltered conversations about business, life, and everything in between.#TheIrishGoodbyePodcast #BusinessPodcast #Dreamforce #CorporateLife #Conferences #Salesforce #Networking #BusinessTalk #PodcastLife #NewEpisode

In this episode of the Irish Goodbye Business Podcast, I sit down with my good friend and colleague, Gene Michael Koopman, Enterprise Architect at Salesforce. Gene’s career hasn’t followed a straight line—from waiting tables in an all-night diner to leading architecture at Fortune 500s, his path shows how unexpected turns can fuel big opportunities.We cover what an Enterprise Architect really does, why broad thinking matters as much as technical depth, and how Gene helps global organizations navigate digital transformation and AI. He also shares lessons learned along the way, plus why there’s a snowboard hanging in his Florida office.If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the title Enterprise Architect, or how to balance technical expertise with strategic influence, this episode’s for you.#IrishGoodbyePodcast #BusinessPodcast #Careers #EnterpriseArchitecture #Salesforce #DigitalTransformation #AI #Leadership #CareerGrowth #TechCareers
