Waters Wavelength Podcast Episode 28: Larry Malakian (aka, Tony Malakian's Dad)

- By Anthony Malakian and Dan DeFrancesco
- 28 Jul 2016

With Dan away on vacation, Anthony enlisted the services of his dad, Larry Malakian, to help with the podcast. Larry spent over 40 years building and running data centers for companies like Equitable (now Axa), Cigna and Avon. For the podcast, he discusses the importance of getting a diverse array of feedback when facing a problem (~6:30), his "favorite" outage war story (~15:00), his greatest disaster recovery success (~17:00), his thoughts on his son being a journalist (~23:30), leadership qualities (~26:30) and food etiquette when in Asia (~30:00).
