On Our Podcast Show this week, Stephen and Winston interview long-time tech industry friend Alex “Zander” Mei. We met Alex over a decade ago during his time with OCZ Technology, a famous enthusiast memory brand. Today, Alex still works in the industry, but his passion is fishing, and he’s the Editor in Chief of TackleTour, an online resource dedicated to the sport of fishing.
We’ll also be talking about his other passion, which is cars! He’s a huge car fanatic, so we’ll be getting his thoughts on some of his favourite rides and what his thoughts are on electric vehicles.
