Hosts Andrew Weaver and Sanjay Mistry discuss how AI is reshaping leadership priorities, decision-making, and the pace of change for modern CTOs.
Sanjay’s fireside chat is with special guest Ray Bogman, exploring Driving Innovation as AI Moves the Goalposts.
Together they dive into:
Speed vs strategy and how to allocate resources when everything is moving faster
How talent expectations and roles are evolving in an AI-driven landscape

As always, Andrew and Sanjay reflect on what this means for CTOs trying to balance long-term vision with short-term delivery — and yes, there’s a limerick or two along the way to keep things human.

Our tech quiz is an all European Affair as pals reunite to compete for $50 and we take a look at the Athens Tech Scene in "Around The Tech World in 80 Seconds".

And finally ... we take a look at the Top 3 Tech Inventions that you probably didn't need to know existed.

After a lovely rest, some time in the sun, and a small bit of rebranding, the CTO Academy Podcast is back, and it's like we've never been away. 
For those new to the show ... this is the podcast where hosts Andrew Weaver and Sanjay Mistry investigate, articulate, and celebrate the role of the CTO and senior technology leader. 
Season 3 opens with a wonderful mix of fireside chat, quiz, and appalling limerick. Sanjay's fireside chat is with Bhavesh Vaghela, CPTO at London Marathon Events, as they explore the extraction of value from product. Our tech quiz brings together tech leaders from Australia and New Zealand, with our international flavour further enhanced with a look at the Stockholm Tech Scene in the return of our "Around The Tech World in 80 Seconds" feature. 
Talking of returns... as Andrew corners Sanjay with his latest Tech-Inspired Limerick. It's not pretty. 
This is likely to be the most enjoyable 60 minutes of your day. 
Note of thanks to our wonderful guests: Bhavesh Vaghela, London Marathon Events, Rachel Collingridge, Totara Daryl Teo, Nash Capital Gulsah Sari, MasterAI...
