Episode 4: At the Edge — A Conversation with Michael Sale
In this fourth episode of The Mirapath Podcast, host Jodie Lin returns to the mic for a refreshing, down-to-earth conversation with Michael Sale. The two dive into Michael’s journey through the tech world, from his early days in the Air Force to a long career shaped by curiosity, unexpected opportunities, and a genuine love for problem solving.
Michael shares stories from the earliest days of network infrastructure, including moments like seeing server racks twisted from earthquake damage, to more recent shifts driven by edge computing and AI. He offers a candid look at how data centers have evolved, how power and space are becoming central concerns, and why adaptability is more important than having all the right answers.
The conversation is filled with relatable insights: how boredom sometimes sparks new paths, how raising your hand for something unfamiliar can change your life, and why the best teams are the ones that encourage growth from within. Jodie and Michael also talk about hiring with intention, the importance of spotting potential beyond resumes, and why the industry needs to rethink how it attracts and nurtures new talent.
At its heart, this episode is about people — those who mentor, those who ask questions, and those who care enough to make others feel included. It’s also a gentle call to action for anyone in the industry: pass down the knowledge, invest in the next generation, and stay curious.
