    Founder, Not CEO: The Product-First Story Behind StaffWise

    In this episode Mark Waddington explains why he identifies as a founder more than a CEO and how that product-first mindset drove the evolution of StaffWise from a rough first version into a full workforce management platform. Mark describes solving the core problem of poor communication between tech vendors and businesses, building client-driven features — onboarding, divisions, scheduling, payroll integrations, reporting and sustainability tracking — and expanding into retail execution with RetailWise.

    S04 E08 - Silence, Engineered with -45 Founder Jon Noonan

    Attendees aren’t just passive participants anymore. They’re under pressure from clients, bosses, and deadlines—sometimes right in the middle of your event. If your show doesn’t provide the space for them to stay connected, they’ll leave. As Jon Noonan of -45dB puts it: “The client doesn’t care if you’re at a show—they want it now.” This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about keeping your audience in the room. #EventTech #EventProfs #ConferencePlanning #AttendeeExperience #EventDesign
