About This Podcast
Reality Check with Dave Nicholson is a no-fluff conversation series about how technology decisions actually get made when real money, real jobs, and real reputations are on the line.
Hosted by Dave Nicholson, the show focuses on senior IT decision makers—CIOs, CTOs, and C-suite leaders—who are navigating AI, automation, and modern infrastructure in the real world. This isn’t vendor pitch theater or analyst theory.
Guests are anonymized so they can speak candidly about what’s working, what’s failing, and what keeps them up at night as AI reshapes careers, budgets, and businesses. The discussions center on practical outcomes: how to make money, save money, reduce risk, and avoid costly mistakes in an era of rapid technological change.
Real decision makers. Real money. Real consequences. No fluff.
