Hey ITT fam! đ€©
The past three years of Inside the Techosystem have been quite eventful, to say the least. The materializing of a dream from recurring conversations to taking a chance on something that has bloomed into this growing podcast that we love and are very excited about has been very fulfilling. We are extremely proud of it, and your constant support and engagement make it an even more exciting journey to be on.
When we started the podcast in July 2020, it was our goal to make it as fun and insightful as possible, trying our best to make a technical podcast that wasnât monotonous and rigid but exciting and relatable. A breath of fresh air if you might. Our cover and logo are the most visible and foremost parts of our brand identity, and as we evolve and grow we would like to take you, our listeners along with us. We are excited to announce our new cover and logo as a part of our rebranding initiative. We knew we needed a fresh splash of paint, and over the past few months, we have worked tirelessly, had meeting after meeting in order to properly accomplish what we set out to do, and give our brand a new face.
With that said, weâre proud to introduce the new Inside the Techosystem to you!
To read the full detail about the rebrand, please check out our article here: https://insidethetechosystem.com/itt-2-0.

We've been made to believe that most successful products in the techosystem were built by companies that had great engineering leadership and that is why in today's episode we invited Olaoluwa Faniyi to chat about Engineering management and leadership. In this episode, our guest shares some of the valuable lessons learned from managing engineering teams as well as some widely unspoken discussions that need to be heard more in the techosystem.

Have you ever heard of the saying 'Embrace the boredom'? If you haven't, then you're in luck. In this sprint episode, Emmanuel and Chuka talk about being bored in tech and how sometimes boredom can be a good thing for your career, and how to move past that phase into greater things. We also discuss the dangers of being in that state of boredom for too long and what companies and employers can do to help.
We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did recording it.
