Podcast coming soon!

What will the podcast be about?

We plan to interview the tech people in the trenches doing the work on ‘hard problems.’ We want to find out what works and what doesn‘t work for tech people who are working on the world‘s challenges.

And, we want to inspire people (you?) to make the jump to work on hard problems.
