Summary

Hear from host Paul Spain and Seeby Woodhouse ( Voyager Internet ) as they unpack this week's tech news including, One NZ kicking off its 3G shutdown in Dunedin, Radio Trackers boost Auckland’s hornet hunt, EB Games’ nationwide exit and the government’s new AI advisory pilot for SMEs. They explore Apple's choice to use Gemini AI for Siri and Grok’s deepfake controversy. Plus, Seeby shares candid reflections on leadership, work-life balance, and why coming back to hands-on management has been both energizing and inspiring. A big thank you to our show partners One NZ, Spark, Workday, 2degrees and Gorilla Technology.
