Description
Things. Reasons. is the independent podcast for Australian IT leaders. Hosted by Naran McClung and Jono Staff, we unpack what is actually driving change in Australian IT — cloud strategy, AI, cybersecurity, managed services, and vendor dynamics. Not vendor theatre. The conversation after the meeting. New episodes every two weeks.
A podcast for CIOs, CTOs, and technology leaders navigating AI, cloud, and enterprise transformation.
