Daniel Walters is a consultant, CTO coach, and former CTO of Seek Asia - one of Southeast Asia's largest job platforms. He is the founder of Great CTO, where he works with technology executives across New Zealand and beyond. He is also the co-creator of an AI-assisted engineering course, now running its eighth cohort.

In this episode, we cover:

• What drew Daniel from the operator role into coaching and consulting
• How he defines the difference between coaching, mentoring, and consulting, and why it matters
• The most common themes that come up when CTOs seek coaching support
• Why experienced engineers often resist AI adoption, and how leaders can bridge that gap
• The origin of the AI-assisted engineering course and what they have learned building it
• Why a cohort-based, experiential format is the right container for this kind of learning
