He was trained as an intelligence officer, attended the military’s language school where he learned Dari, and later deployed to Afghanistan. He eventually came off active duty and was recruited by Google. While he remains a member of the Army National Guard, we talk on this episode today about how he finds balance between these two demanding roles, perhaps more importantly, and how in many ways his career in the Army and at Google complement each other. *Note: *The views Nathan expressed on the show are his along and not necessarily reflective of Google, the California National Guard or the U.S. Army.

This is The Founders' List - audio versions of essays from technology’s most important leaders, selected by the founder community. Longtime Googler Steve Yegge posted an insightful rant on his Google+ page about how Google is failing to make platforms for its products. He also shares some interesting little tidbits about his six-year stint at Amazon working for the 'Dread Pirate Bezos'. The rant was intended to be shared only with his Google coworkers, but was accidentally made public. Read the full memo here - https://gist.github.com/chitchcock/1281611
