Tech Talks

Do you get nervous about putting your hand up to ask a question at an event? Plenty of us do. Over the past 6 years Slido have worked to improve the experience, of the audience and speaker, at events and conferences. On today's show Juraj talks us through how they've achieved that (having joined the business in its early days), and where event tech is going.

Tomorrow we welcome Juraj, Head of Communications at Slido to the podcast! Slido give a voice to event audiences, and Juraj explores how, and how they're evolving the service. But before that; shout out to an iconic bistro and their crab!

Richard joins the show to chat about the products and services opening up new markets in finance. Fintech is not just about London and personal banking! We're talking about small business loans, travel money and why outsourcing works for startups!

Richard joins the show to discuss innovation in the fintech space, and the fact that a lot of the market remains new, and still to be explored! Before that he tells us where the best wine comes from... Full podcast is out tomorrow!

Mark joins the show to discuss what an organisation needs to consider when deploying technology at scale, why organisations are risking ‘open heart surgery’, and why skills matter more than culture. It’s a fascinating chat detailing the views captured through the work performed by IBM Services. So, do you think your people have the ability to learn, or is it simply not in some people’s DNA?

Mark Foster is SVP of IBM Services and Global Business Services, with real insight into the emerging tech market. He's our next guest on the show. But before the serious chat about tech he shares his love of Phil Collins with us, and who would dare disagree with such impeccable taste?

On our show today Ingrid Pope talks to us about de-cluttering our minds, coaching and taking the stress off leaders in tech. How much time do you take to slow down, or does the always on culture overwhelm you? Do the stories you tell yourself undermine your confidence. Join Dave, and guest host Mario Michaels, as the pod takes a trip to Manchester!

Ingrid Pope is tomorrow's guest. The show is focused on coaching and dealing with the clutter in our lives. Given the amount we all deal with, especially in technology, coping strategies to be successful and productive are pretty useful. However, before that we have a chat about cake...

Prashanth joins the podcast to talk about his new post at Stack Overflow where he has been CEO for just a few months. How does he see development and the types of people in development evolving?

In the show he mentions a blog post reflecting on his first 90 days. Here it is: https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/01/21/scripting-the-future-of-stack-2020-plans-vision/

The new CEO of Stack Overflow, Prashanth Chandrasekar, is our guest on the podcast tomorrow! He reveals he's a Star Trek fan, has a group chat called cousins and he recommends a restaurant that we hope is still there... if anyone else has been more recently... let us know!
