Software People Stories: The Origin Story

The Software People Stories podcast started as Software Lifecycle Stories podcast with an intent to bring stories of what worked and sometimes, what did not, as shared by practitioners to help fellow practitioners.

What began as a channel to share stories related to technology, soon morphed into the personal stories of passion, achievements and world views. With guests from across the world sharing their stories, the Software People Stories has grown in the listenership also across the globe.

The three hosts of the show bring their own styles of conversation to uncover some untold stories of the guests in a breezy, unscripted conversation format.

The milestone of a hundred episodes [plus some specials in between, prompted by the pandemic] makes all of us happy that we have been able to contribute to the collective knowledge related to the creation or consumption of software based solutions.

These stories have touched upon varied topics such as how they have been a lifelong learners and teachers, how they have seen the change within themselves – while bringing in transformational thinking and actions in their organizations. We also heard stories of creating brand new firms and the entrepreneurial spirit as well as shutting down operations and giving it to someone else. Some also shared how their life partners played a pivotal role in managing the work, life and everything in between.

It is our way of paying it forward to inspire more people to stay in the journey and continue to inspire many many more. The feedback that we get from you, our listeners, keeps us going and aspire to do even more. If we have been able to trigger some thoughts that lead you to answers in your quests, we feel we have made some difference.

If you would like to share your stories, we are all ears!
