A SEASONAL THANK YOU AND TO ALL OUR LISTENERS

And a massive shout out to all involved with Access Granted NZ during 2018 - #TechWeekNZ crew, Viv + Vic, the 40+ companies that made #WellyTech, the event coordinators that invited us along, and to each and everyone we've had on the show. THANK YOU!

Mike and Raj run through their highlights of 2018 and take the hard road of choosing their monthly favourite episodes (which is highly likely not to be the same as yours).

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR LISTENERS, you are the reason we do this.
See you on Christmas Day and then after a few archive classics, back in late January 2019 to kick off 12 more months an fascinating people, intriguing events, and connections galore.

Liz Maguire is the Head of Digital and Transformation at ANZ and she is clear banks are not the old fashioned fuddy duddies we think they are.

We think that if there was one thing we should take away it is the idea of human centred design - there is no point making the flashest stuff if no-one is ever going to use it. It’ll be interesting to see how the customer focused teams at ANZ pan out in the long run as Liz’s team is creating amazing tech everyday, including Jamie but we’ll let Liz tell you who Jamie is …

There’s no more fun to had than watching Kristen and Natalie explain to Mike how his view of money is both typical for New Zealand and one that’s holding him back in his choices.

The last time we spoke to Natalie (July 2014 she was running her own company and yet this year she has taken a ‘standard desk job’ at the KiwiWealth internal startup named Hatch, alongside CEO Kristen and a number of fine folks endeavouring to change how Kiwi’s see the global investment market.

Over a beer we chat all things financial, women in tech, and the pros and cons of being a startup within an established organisation.

We've been after Charlotte for quite some time and we finally managed to get some time in her diary to chat all things agile, her work at Te Papa, what she's doing in the government's Service Innovation Lab (everyone should make a time to go visit), and finally her time organising the most excellent WDCNZ conference - lets hope that both Charlotte and Owen can bring it back somehow, somewhere.

So much ... pop it in your ears and have a listen to the wonderful Charlotte Hinton.
