That’s life for Josh Politte, who somehow manages to lead ACT Solutions & Consulting while changing diapers and dodging spit-up. He shares stories from a globe-spanning career (50+ countries!), the year Egypt cracked open his worldview, and how he went from petroleum engineer to Microsoft-powered problem solver. We get into why tech in this industry actually matters, how AI isn't just a buzzword, and why being a new dad might just be the ultimate crash course in leadership.Click here to watch a video of this episode.00:00 - Intro01:40 - Who is Josh Pape11:02 - Josh’s Career Journey: College to Business16:23 - Technical Skills Development18:55 - Leading Digital Transformation at BHP23:35 - Experience as Interim CTO at Digital Wildcatters25:06 - Passion for the Microsoft Stack30:51 - Insights on AI Technology37:24 - Loving Your Work: A Personal Reflection38:00 - Future Vision: Company Goals in 3-5 Years41:39 - Hot Seat Questions: Rapid Fire Round45:10 - How to Connect with Joshhttps://twitter.com/collide_iohttps://www.tiktok.com/@collide.iohttps://www.facebook.com/collide.iohttps://www.instagram.com/collide.iohttps://www.youtube.com/@collide_iohttps://bsky.app/profile/digitalwildcatters.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/collide-digital-wildcatters","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/hYSHYQs64Onl2QuGTTUmlexIUz97CGUbWPpPWyISBxc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZWEx/Y2FkN2E5MTdiMjJk/NTNlOTU0ODliZTEw/NWVlMy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
