Introduction
Tech Leader Pro is a podcast for sharing ideas, principals, and approaches that you can use to lead a large team, with a focus on the technology industry. Each episode covers in detail a leadership topic that you can relate to, and shares lessons that you can apply directly to your team.
The episodes are concise and condensed as we are all busy people, and I value your time. I also pack a lot of ideas into each episode, as I want to give you something to think about each episode (even if you don't always agree with me).
My aim is to add at least one episode per month, and publish the full scripts and download links here, or alternative you can use one of the subscriber links below from your favorite podcast app.
