The Software Leaders Uncensored Podcast

Welcome to Software Leaders Uncensored, the podcast where tech execs drop the script and talk straight.

Hosted by Steve Taplin, serial entrepreneur and CEO of Sonatafy Technology, the show goes deep with software executives, CTOs, founders, and product leaders on what actually happens behind the scenes: building software, leading teams, scaling engineering, AI innovation, and delivery.

No fluff. No filters. Just real talk about what's working, what's failing, and what's coming next in tech.

Topics we get into:
🔹The reality of running dev teams
🔹AI hype vs. reality: what's real, what's vaporware
🔹How AI is actually changing hiring, delivery, and architecture
🔹Leadership war stories and C-suite confessions
🔹Remote culture, distributed teams, and the future of work

If you want unvarnished insight and strategies you can actually use, not another buzzword parade, you're in the right place.
