Tamuka MachakaireGuestMikeHostWelcome to the AWS Smart Business Podcast, your destination for sharp conversations with leaders, builders, and innovators shaping the future of businesses.

So what we want to explore in this episode is which judgments you keep and how you stay in control of a system that now does part of your thinking.
