Reasons., Naran McClung and Jono Staff cut straight into the forces reshaping Australian IT — and why they've launched a new independent show.  They unpack:  Telstra's sell-off — why focusing back on core connectivity could be the telco's smartest move in years. Traditional MSPs under pressure — as agentic AI rewrites business models, are people-based consultancies already outdated? CyberCX acquisition — capability, brand equity, or people: what was really behind the deal? AI and talent pipelines — what happens to grads, careers, and future CIOs when AI can outpace entry-level jobs? Plus, Jono takes on the Quickfire Three: the advice he'd give his younger self, a leadership myth he's abandoned, and how to spot a true partner from a pretender. 👉 Tune in to this first episode to get your dose of candid, unfiltered commentary — and hear what we have in store for future episodes.
