Tech Career for Life: Show 1 with Guest Drew Robbins is now published!

I’ve been planning a new podcast for quite a while. I’ve been fascinated by what makes a successful technical career that lasts a long time.

Over the years, I’ve seen far too many promising people either just stop advancing, or sometimes, completely burn out. As an example, I remember a very technical friend saying he’d had enough, and he bought a small farm in Tasmania.

The first of these shows is now recorded and published. And this time, they’re video podcasts, not just audio. I hope you enjoy it.

Show 1 with Guest Drew Robbins

Drew is a seasoned leader and mentor with over 20 years of experience guiding professionals through the real-world challenges of building meaningful careers.

He’s worked across the U.S., Japan, and India, leading teams at Microsoft and shaping how organizations adopt and apply emerging technologies like Generative AI.

Drew says his mission is to help people build purposeful careers through practical insight, emotional honesty, and a focus on long-term growth.

I’ve also recently finished reading his book When No One’s Keeping Score and thought he’d be a perfect guest for this show.
