A candid conversation between David and Network Chuck at Cisco Live 2025 about the unexpected revival of networking in the age of AI. They dive into how AI tools temporarily sidetracked their content focus, why core infrastructure skills remain indispensable, and how a welcoming networking community pulled Chuck back after years away. They announced plans to relaunch a CCNA video series, share insights on combining AI with networking, and offer practical YouTube advice for tech creators.
