On this episode of Simple Talks, Louis hangs out with Aaron Bertrand and talks hockey, curling, football, hybrid cars and even some technology. One of the big (non-sports) themes of the episode is that Aaron is a problem-solver and is interested in how issues can be overcome with technology - even if his focus now and in the conceivable future is being a top-level expert with some of the aspects of SQL Server.

What’s data masking? What’s subsetting? Get past the jargon as Redgate advocates Grant, Steve & Ryan break down these processes, explain why they’re important, how they work, and their personal experiences of both.

On this episode of Simple Talks, Louis sits down with Kevin Feasel and talks database design, conferences, battle tech games, and a lot more. Kevin has one of the most interesting origin stories so far in this series. He is a Data Platform Microsoft MVP and is the model of a great member of the data community. Also on the podcast, Louis learns a few new words and phrases, and for those of you watching on video, you can see him accidentally take himself out of the video a few times as well.
