Mike Beaton is a Chartered Marketer of Canada, living on the East Coast. Starting his career in 2004, he currently works for Red Hat in their Eco-System, working with some of their largest partners to grow their Red Hat business.
Outside of work, Mike is a professional musician with over 20 years of experience, playing with such bands as The Downtown Getdown, The Baker Beaton Band, and more. He has toured around the East Coast and is currently working on his first studio album.
Mike is a continuous learner with a somewhat healthy non-fiction reading habit, and is constantly looking for ways to upgrade his personal operating system so he can get the most out of life with the least amount of effort. A huge fan of both systems thinking and mental models, with a classic philosophy bent to counterbalance.
This blog is just a landing spot for some of Mike’s brain farts, and has nothing to do with any of the work Mike has done in the past, nor does it reflect the opinion of any of his current/past employers.
