Techweek Podcast

So much of tech talk is about outcomes — a startup’s fundraising round, this quarter’s KPIs, the next big IPO. But what goes on day to day in the trenches (or open offices) of the tech community, when key decisions must be made and the future isn’t always so certain? Join your host, Brendan McCarthy, as the Techweek Podcast tackles the daily behind-the-scenes lives of execs and their companies. What has their experience in tech been like, and what have they learned — about their products, about their communities, and about themselves?
