À propos de cet audio

We delve into the bizarre and often cringe-worthy world of IT mishaps, glitches, and the horror stories that come with it. With a sarcastic twist we recount the tales of those who somehow manage to create chaos out of the simplest tasks. We strike a balance between relatable frustration and dark humor that gets even the most cringe-inducing stories entertaining and you will find yourself laughing, cringing, and shaking their heads in disbelief as we take a wild ride through the chaotic world of IT, where every glitch is a ghost story waiting to be told.2024-2025 Développement commercial et entrepreneuriat Entrepreneurship Gestion et leadership Économie

  • Paris Rooftops
    Aug 31 2025

    Installing a 5G antenna on a rooftop in downtown Paris sounds simple enough - until reality sets in.

    In this episode, we walk thru the saga of a project that required not one, not two, but multiple site visits before the antenna finally worked as expected. Permits, building access, scheduling delays, unexpected power requirements - each visit brought a new twist, each delay a new story.

    Was it bureaucracy? Weather? Or just the uniquely French way of doing things?

    Join us on the rooftops of Paris for a tale of project planning, technical hurdles, and cultural aspects that turns a routine install into a mini-series of its own.

    Back home, the IT team is asleep—until the CIO calls in the middle of the night and it’s on IT to contain the fallout of a crisis they didn’t create.

    Jul 1 2025

    We’re unpacking the critical steps behind migrating a domain name — a process that can disrupt everything from search engine indexing and referral traffic to email deliverability and authentication.

    Join us together with an industry expert and let's explore the technical risks, from broken redirects to, yes — forgetting to update your SPF records and wondering why your emails end up in spam (don’t worry, you’re not the first).

    In the end it’s all about executing that clean, strategic transition that protects your visibility, performance, communications and a good night sleep.
