Technically Leading

In this episode I'm joined by 3 of my former Spur colleagues: - Sager Davidson, VP of Engineering at Nayya - Chris Hand, CTO at BidScore and Partner at MKII Ventures - Will Ogles, Co-founder of Solenoid Studios Spur was a HR and Payroll platform designed for SMBs. It was a company we, along with many other very talented people, helped build into a robust platform, which ultimately met its demise during the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic. On this episode we talk and laugh (a lot) about the early days of the company and the successes and failures that helped form us into who we were, and are today, as technical leaders. This one was a blast, and very special to me. I hope you enjoy it!

Laura Tacho, CTO of DX, joins me on this episode of "Technically Leading". Laura's extensive background coaching leaders and guiding teams on how to measure and improve productivity lead to fascinating discussion. We explore the nuanced world of productivity and how individual contribution, data, purpose, and trust all play a part in making teams successful.

Allan Leinwand, CTO of Webflow, joins me for the 3rd episode of "Technically Leading". In this episode I got to ask Allan some things I've been really curious about, specifically around managing technology and teams at huge scale. What are things that you should focus on, and how to do you continue to promote innovation and energy with a large, mature product? Allan shares some amazing nuggets of wisdom in this episode, so be sure to give it a listen.

On this episode, I talk with Matt Brown (VP of Engineering at Bloomerang). Matt brings his years of experience in product development and team leadership to unpack topics like: Creating "healthy tension" between engineering and product Empowering developers on Product teams Transitioning from individual contributor to leadership Communicating team performance and improvement opportunities I also think we became new friends :) Hope you enjoy listening.
