In this new, refreshed and totally revamped (ok.. it’s still a work in progress) edition of The Wandering Tech Podcast… Lidia and Paul dive into a couple of different topics.

Is the era of public cloud infrastructure over? It depends. If you ask the CEO of Broadcom you’ll get one answer, but Paul and Lidia discuss why it may not be quite so simple.

And why when two big companies fight - we all lose…

Then the question of whether or not there is yet ANOTHER hat that Presales and Solution teams should wear. The nature of the relationship between product and sales, and how to impact it practically yourself.

Finally, in AI therapy, did you really write a book if ChatGPT helped? That’s the dilemma for the largest global writing challenge as Paul brings an example of how bad PR can go really, really bad.

In this episode… recorded IN PERSON in Paul’s studio* (*dining room with a mic balanced on some books) Lidia and Paul discuss the differences of being in person to remote when it comes to getting stuff done… and what we’d do if sleep wasn’t necessary.

Paul shares how his desire to be more intentional with technology led him to adopt something he had previously shirked, they wonder if they’ve quit social media or are just getting old and revisit the topic of a shrinking internet.

There is also a DEEP dive in this episode of the topic of YouTube content, it’s increased diversification and whether there is an answer to the proliferation of AI-generated content.

We have some BIG (all caps) plans for The Wandering Tech and would love it if you could share with just one person who you think would like it.

We’re back! After an unscheduled break… which will from now on be scheduled. Paul & Lidia catch-up on how they’re feeling after taking a break from recording, why it’s a wholly good thing and what we’ve been up to in the meantime.

We then dive into recording and meeting prep - what is (and what’s not so good) a playlist to listen to before starting a demo and the pros and cons of speaker notes. As well as the when, why and how.

There’s some good stories in here about how to (and how not) to dress when going on site, the expectations that what you wear sets about how you are perceived by customers and why Lidia is now an Audi driver.

And finally, in an AI therapy bumper edition - Meeting digital twins! AI Computer mice! Recurring revenue!
