Episode 04: Nigel Dalton | Australasian Godfather of Agile & Guitar Tragic
"The highest paid punk rhythm guitarist in history."
Well, that's how tech and Agile evangelist Nigel Dalton describes himself. But besides being a guitar and music tragic, Nigel wears many many other hats.
In this episode, we hear about Nigel's UK-migrated New Zealand upbringing, and how he went from a young hippy tech geek to one of Australia's leading thought leaders in the Agile product develop/workflow method.
Sounds geeky and unrelated to music? Well, that's where you'd be wrong.
In this chat, we discover some amazing lessons around the methods Toyota, big tech and other big players in business use that can help a musician or any other artist get things done. And get things done more 'right' for their audience than ever.
From the 80s/90s tech bubble and its burst, to Nigel's time at Lonely Planet and then REA Group, this chat is a wild and fascinating ride through those Venn diagram moments where business, technology, humans and art meet.
