From Episodes to Ecosystem: Tech Waka Year Two

About this episode

The episode reflects on the second year of Tech Waka and its evolution into a community for New Zealand tech leaders.

This episode is a little different. Instead of a guest, I’m taking a moment to reflect on Tech Waka’s second year — and how it grew from a podcast into a community for New Zealand tech leaders. This episode is sponsored by Wires Uncrossed .
