Doug Thompson comes from a generation that had a more stable career journey than what often happens today. But when the time comes, he's not about to take the proverbial gold watch and disappear. He has an entrepreneurial journey as a podcaster to pursue.
Listen to his story.
Doug Thompson is a passionate storyteller, TEDx & Keynote speaker, sales nerd, LinkedIn creator, and host of the both The Doug Thompson podcast & the Go Tanium Tech Stories Podcast. When he is not sharing stories with his customers or podcast audience, he can be found sharing his passion for storytelling with “Mindset Mondays”, giving keynote speeches, and by mentoring and coaching other professionals to develop their storytelling skills. He believes that everyone has a story, and it is just a matter of unlocking it from the grips of the subconscious mind.
Like all superheroes he has an alter ego as Chief Education Architect for Tanium. In this role he uses his storytelling skills to share transformational stories of how to elevate the ways that schools defend their teachers and students from cyber villains everywhere.
Doug and his wife, of more than 40 years, enjoy spending time with their two children and 7 grandchildren whenever possible. He is also a retired triathlete and is a 2-time Ironman Triathlon finisher.

Royalty, Philanthropy and Increased Profits
Most people who wear a crown are born into the position it comes with.
Heather Langton earned her crown after trading in a hard hat, and she wears it proudly.
Her ability to coach companies to increase profits made her known as the profit queen, and the crown has been a part of her brand ever since.
While she enjoys coming up with profit generating strategies, perhaps her more noble mission is helping give people with criminal records a second chance through entrepreneurship.
Come and listen.
Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Heather Langton has been an entrepreneur since 4th grade, when she made and sold custom friendship bracelets. Since then, she has owned multiple companies, following in her initial entrepreneurial spirit.
In 2001 Heather Langton founded and operated a General Contracting company, specializing in residential remodeling. In 2007 Heather hired a business coach. With that business coach’s support and assistance, between 2008-2012 Heather increased the company’s revenue by 700%. In 2012, the company reached an annual revenue of 1 million dollars.
After closing the company in 2016, Heather was employed by and helped several business owners run their own company, always resulting in an increase in profits. She quickly realized that she was very good at helping others make more profit, and in 2018 Heather realized a dream and became a business coach herself.
Heather focuses primarily on helping business owners create strategic systems and processes for the company that increase profit. While Heather can help a multitude of different industries, her passion is working with companies in the Construction Trades.
