Techniq

Pull up a seat and take in the awesomeness that is this episode. Is it possible to go from a big company to a small company? Spoiler alert - the answer is Yes. Our guest Kelsey Steinbeck will tell you how exactly how to do just that. After spending 7 yrs in a large company Kelsey joined Indigo Agriculture as tech-employee #6. We explore the truths and fallacies surrounding cultural stereotypes between Big Companies and Startups, identifying roadblocks (and how to navigate around them) and learn what it takes to get shit done - for yourself and your team.

Get out your pens and notepads, you're going to want to write this stuff down. In this episode we're joined by Matt Durgavich, Lead Engineer at Vivox. Grab your popcorn and listen up as we explore cultural changes over time (personally + in the workplace) & why it's a good thing, the importance of understanding the unwritten cultural code, how to make hiring more efficient by building relationships, and how to be awesome. Autonomy. Mastery. Purpose. Hippos. We cover it all and then some!

Dan Caddigan - UI Architect at Indigo, Vintner and Cornhole Champion.. Need we say more? [I guess if we have to say more..] Indigo Agriculture's tech team is a case study in building an identity and engineering culture from scratch while joining a company that isn't just about software. As one of the first "tech" employees hired into Boston's unicorn No.7, Dan shares the blueprints of intentional architectural design and its effect on future culture within the team. Sustainability, energy, growth - It's all here. Raw, honest, friendly and fun. We sat down (and like true pirates took over the CTO's office) to learn all about what it takes to meld a mission-driven mindset with world class software and world class people. Give it a listen. Laugh a little. Learn a bunch.

Software Engineering, Data, Culture, Email Rules & Yurts... What more could you ask for in a podcast? In this episode we sat down with Wes Reing @ Trip Advisor to chat about Culture through the eyes of a Data-focused Software Engineer. We titled this one the "Giving a Sh*T Equation" [and why you should care], we could add to that [about others all the time]. This is a great, honest conversation about "grownup" culture that drives performance via trust and faith, in others and yourself. Problem Solving mind-sets vs. the blame game, two way streets, and culture tells - you'll find them all here. Give it a listen. Learn something. Grow!

This was an awesome one and the kick-off to our 2018 Podcast Season. We sat down Christopher Gervais who is the SVP of Product Development @ Kyruus in Boston. Walking through his journey from the farm towns of Western, MA [really] right through to where he is today - Innovating, and driving change in the healthcare industry. A fortuitous elevator pitch, a North Star analogy, team building principles and approaches to collaboration that will be music to your ears, and a discussion surrounding how to facilitate change to promote growth via a true people-based approach [AND why he hates being sold milk]. It’s all here. Give it a listen. Get energized. Get better. Enjoy!

... And TechniQ is what exactly? In today's micro-episode we discuss the foundation of our own identity. A quick overview of the who, the why, and the what of TechniQ. *Disclaimer* We're always learning, always changing, always trying to find new ways to grow [as human beings]. The subject matter in this intro is no exception to that sentiment. Sudden pivots in the road may occur - so buckle up. Should be a fun AND insightful ride. Love, your friends @Techniq. - Justin & Brett

In the last 12 years he's held similar roles at BzzAgent, Publicis, Nutraclick and Constant Contact - and in the last 12 years he's come up with a formula for building, changing, hiring and leading teams that we can honestly say just flat out works. His experiences have been informed by great brands, great people, and a great awareness of how to soak in the best of his surroundings and turn that positive energy loose for others around him to benefit from and enjoy. So we say to you - Enjoy!
