1.1.4 Obsession

Rob Sullivan talks about his obsessiveness and how it helps him, and hinders him in his job. Rory Blythe and Scott then talk openly about Rory's compulsion to keep learning - which he has embraced completely.

• Rob Sullivan submitted our very first listener story about what drives him as a DBA - sometimes a bit too far
• Rory Blyth - the smartest man in the world talks openly and candidly about his obsessions - and how he can't just learn something a little bit.
