E010 - Announcing the tabGeeks Network! A new network for a new era of tech publications. Plus a guest Googler Jay Lee the creator of GAM, and 11 Updates!

We are proud to announce the tabGeeks Network! We created this network as a modern business technology network, by admins, for admins, and for an era of SaaS, WFH, and Cloud-first IT. We have teamed up with some of the brightest minds in the industry to bring you the most up-to-date, relevant, information on today’s biggest topics. To start the network off we have this podcast Workspace Recap, the Supporting IT Support podcast, the Google Workspace Admins project, and coming soon a SaaS discussion and analysis show, and a cybersecurity update and analysis show! Go to tabgeeks.com to learn more and to sign up for our slack community!

That's not all, in this week's episode, we also have a Googler, the incredible Jay Lee, who is the creator of GAM, an essential free power tool in every Workspace Admins toolbox. If you're not familiar with it, it's a command-line interface for Google Workspace. Check it out here: https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM

We are continuing to host the weekly Clubhouse event Wednesday evenings at 7pm Pacific, 9pm Central. Find out more about the event at recap.at/clubhouse
