Quotes
-
"The reality is that sometimes you need to do two things at once. And it's hard to do this sort of professional training while you're coding. And so, to me, the format of podcasts fits nicely for technologists because they can consume the content passively while doing some of the execution tasks they want." - Benjamin Shapiro
-
"We're building a reoccurring habit for listeners to get the information they need, but also not asking them to sit down and pay attention for an hour, an hour, and a half and hope to glean some information. We want short, quick, concise pieces of content that you can pick and choose and decide what you want to listen to and when you want to hear it. And so that's how we roll. That's how we're creating this podcast." - Benjamin Shapiro
-
"When listening to a podcast for CTOs, you're looking to take something away that you can apply to what you're doing to your work, professional development, management of your team, and continuing to innovate. And it takes a lot of work to develop ten things quickly. So we will refine the content to focus on one more articulate point that people can digest for that day. It's a daily habit that is really what we're trying to build." - Benjamin Shapiro
