Tobi has formalized a valuable brand as podcast which draws the attention of very interesting guests. Yet, I wish that Tobi would professionalize himself by listening with attention and curiosity. The awkward silence and the unconnected questions out of the blue makes it really hard to enjoy hearing it (although the quality is superb!). Its like listening to a small talk of two very distanced individuals.
Thanks to the guests though to agree being interviewed!
Thank you very much for this podcast! I heard almost every episode and it helped me a lot to survive my first year as head of engineering. It is a valuable source to get an comprehensive perspective on common concepts and trends.
