    Katie Smith-Adair

    The tech world is understandably frustrating and at some point, you’ve just had enough. For Katie Smith-Adair, that point came after she watched Sonar, the startup she was working for, blow up.

Knowing more about the narratives that makes great product builders

This podcast is informative, useful and a pleasure to listen to. Dan has the ability to have people reply to difficult questions. I don't know if it's due to his calm and reassuring tone and voice, or the context of being in a bar around a drink. He get more from his guests than what you would expect in a standard industry interview. This podcast has a secure space in my favorite rotation.

Real stories from successful tech people

I love the concept of this podcast: sitting down over your favorite drink to talk about your tech career. I've learned a lot about the qualites you need to have to break into the tech industry and be successful. Also love that 50% of the guests are female. So unusual on a business-focused or tech-focused podcast.
