The Catalyst by Softchoice
A documentary-style podcast about how IT leaders tackle high-stakes transformations.
Each episode weaves together real voices, expert insights, and compelling narratives that reveal universal challenges and practical wisdom.
Season 7: "Small Teams, Big Dreams" explores the human stories behind IT transformations—from AI adoption experiments to burnout crises, from toxic job markets to infrastructure decisions that matter. These aren't polished case studies. These are authentic accounts from IT professionals navigating the same impossible gaps between expectations and resources that you face every day.
