Every honest answer in technology comes with conditions.

The Qualified Answer is a decisions podcast for senior technology leaders - the ones who own the call, and the ones who execute it.

Each episode is either a decision case - a senior leader walks you through one real call they had to make, what they chose, what they traded away, and what they wish they'd known - or a solo deep dive into the mental models, frameworks, and patterns behind how consequential decisions actually get made.

Hosted by Simon Elisha - 35 years in enterprise technology, first AWS technical hire in Australia, 700+ podcast episodes, and decades of decisions (some great, some not-so great).

New episodes coming soon. Subscribe now.

Yes, with an if. No, with a but. Keep on building!
