About Drink O’Clock
Established in 2022, Drink O’Clock was created by Rob “MaxABV” Valincius. MaxABV was originally Rob Valincius’ streamer personality on Twitch, which he felt he could carry over as his podcast host nickname. Drink O’Clock started originally as a podcast strictly for streamers, esports pros, and social media personalities. After a few episodes, MaxABV felt it would be fun to open the scope to anyone he finds interesting. Since then, we’ve had everything from erotica writers to professional cuddlers on the show. We will continue to get the most interesting guests possible as the show grows!

Garbage In, Garbage Out: AI, Cloud, and Self-Advocacy with an AWS Leader
What does it actually take to explain AI and cloud strategy to a room full of executives who’ve been doing things the same way for 30 years? In this episode, I sit down with Shweta Keshavanarayana, a Customer Solutions Manager at Amazon Web Services, to talk about everything from growing up in Bangalore to architecting the 2012 London Olympics streaming platform at just 22 years old.
Shweta breaks down generative AI and cloud adoption in a way that anyone can understand (her go-to test: can you explain it to an 8-year-old?). We get into what businesses actually get wrong when moving to the cloud, why the phrase “garbage in, garbage out” should be everyone’s AI mantra, and how better prompting can completely change what you get back from tools like ChatGPT and Claude.
We also have a real conversation about what it’s like being the only woman in the room in big tech, why self-advocacy is a skill you have to build like a muscle, and how her “I Am Remarkable” workshops have helped hundreds of people find the confidence to speak up for themselves.

Burt & Burger Return to the Drink O’Clock Podcast 3 Years Later and Nothing Has Changed
