Yo! I’m Adrian Ching,
Founder of Upstack Studio and your go-to guy when it comes to building apps that actually scale.
For the past 8 years, I’ve been helping non-tech founders turn their million-dollar app ideas into reality in just 16 weeks. Along the way, I’ve seen the wins, the failures, and the messy truth about trying to scale with tech.
This podcast is where I unpack it all. Not the sugar-coated “hustle culture” version but the unfiltered stories, lessons, and strategies from real entrepreneurs who’ve been in the trenches.
Every week, I’ll break down what’s working (and what’s not) in tech, startups, and business. You’ll hear from founders, builders, and disruptors who know what it really takes to grow.
If you’re a non-tech founder, an entrepreneur chasing the next big thing, or just someone who wants to make tech actually work for your business. This is your spot.
Welcome to Tech It or Leave It. The podcast for founders who aren’t afraid to play by their own rules.
