About This Podcast

Risk-First is about understanding how to manage risks in software development.
But there are a million jobs in technology besides coding, testing, and releasing.

How does risk inform those jobs?
And could it be that being good at any job in tech really means being good at risk management?


Is all work… risk management?

I’m Rob Moffat, and in each episode I sit down with leaders, builders, and thinkers from across the software industry to understand what they do, the risks they navigate every day, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Because behind every successful system, career, and company…
there’s someone making smart decisions about risk.

And if you want to be great in your chosen field, you need to be great at managing risk.


So who better to learn from… than the stars?

Welcome to Risk-First: Stars of Software.
