My methodology behind preparing for the SD-Infrastructure part of the CCIE EI exam.

This is one of the first videos I share with students that are attending our (Micronics Training) CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure course (or my Software Defined Infrastructure part of it). The course is taught in 4 days, but the teacher/student relationship extends pretty much forever. This video is how I try to set the level of expectation and the degree of effort that will be necessary to reach the end of the journey. Having made the trip myself twice I wasted hours, days and maybe months of my studies trying to figure things out. Trying to learn technologies, trying to improve retention, trying to figure out how best to learn new things. It can be daunting, but if you have a plan, an approach and good mentors (Narbik is the absolute best) you can do anything you set your mind too. I learned this Stretch, Sprint and Step Goal process in Todd Henry's book "Die Empty", and borrowed the "sketchnote" method from Doug Neil (who oddly enough introduced me to Todd Henry's book in a sketchnote :D)
