Hard to find two more informed yet down to earth people than Steve & Quentin. Both brilliant technically while also describing the problems and concepts of technology such that all can digest, comprehend and enjoy. Bravo fellas!
This podcast is a perfect mix of personal stories and real, actionable takeaways for anyone in tech. Especially loved the episode featuring Slack’s CPO. Steve, Quentin, and their guests are all super genuine – and the podcast itself is high-quality and flawlessly produced. A great listen all around, highly recommend.
Steve and Quentin are truly dynamic hosts. With their combined expertise, they able to go incredibly deep on technical enterprise topics with precision and clarity.

I could listen to Steve and Quentin for hours. Love how they pull back the curtain of huge tech co’s that we hear about every day (the Uber conversation was my fav). They do an amazing job giving a unique look at the behind-the-scenes work/decisions moving tech forward. Really brings out the “human” side of big names like Uber, Slack, FB. Great production too! Very easy to listen to and follow along. Definitely recommend for anyone in and out of the tech world.
A fascinating look “under the hood” at the operations behind some of the most influential tech companies of our time. I appreciate that guests speak openly about both successes and failures. This is a must listen for anyone scaling a high-growth company.
