Podcast Overview

Hi! I am Kiril Abazher. If you don't know me, here's a little bit about me. I'm full of energy family-loving guy, who loves to play drums and has been in tech for more then 10 years. I run an amazing tech company (www.ekreative.com), where I have the privilege of leading high performing teams, and create world-class tech products. Strengths of other people intrigue me, and inspire me to learn from them. In Happy Tech I explore the subject of maintaining personal joy, fulfilment and well-being with the people who in my opinion "have it" in their life. I want to say a few words about WHY I decided to have a podcast on the subject of being Happy in Tech industry. Let's start with a simple truth - life is not easy. We all want it to be easy, but it's actually hard, especially if you're trying to live a meaningful life, and have a positive impact on the people around you and on the world through what you do. I think most people want to be happy, - I certainly do :) Well, as life is continuously getting harder, I thought I'd interview and learn from some of the really happy and fulfilled people that I have met over the years to see how they deal with stress, pressure and what enables them to remain this balanced and happy life that we all dream of. I invite you on this journey of learning and growth with me, so check out the episodes and I hope you will get something useful out of this. If you have any questions or comments - feel free to reach out, I'd love to hear from you.

Happy Tech #4 - Jonathan Anderstrom CEO and Co-founder at Creed Interactive

This is a very special episode, when we will learn from someone who had a lot of professional success and is in the midst of a major burnout as we speak. Jonathan Anderstrom is a tech entrepreneur who I have known and worked with for over 6 years. I have a lot of respect for him for how he handles his business and stays on top of being a great family man with 4 kids to manage between him and his wife. It is an insightful episode with a number of unexpected answers that really surprised me. I am super grateful to Jonathan for his openness and willingness to share how he deals with what he is going through.

Happy Tech #3 - Yev Irkhin, COO at Grapheene & COO DataDrip

On the call today is Yev Irkhin, he’s been a good friend of mine ever since we met a few years ago. Yev has worked in tech all his life, had a very successful career at Twillio, and then launched several tech businesses of his own which he currently runs. After we went surfing at 6am on a weekday, I realized this guy knows something about happiness that I don’t and so I invite you into our conversation so we can learn together.

Happy Tech #2 - Jon Darbyshire, CEO of SmartSuite

This time I am interviewing Jon Darbyshire, serial tech entrepreneur who moved on from big successes in a corporate world to founding, running and then selling his own tech company about 10 years ago. Now for the last 3 years he has been working on his new exciting project and that is how we met. I’ve had a privilege of spending quite a bit of time one on one with Jon, and learned a great deal through our conversations and also realized that he is quite a fulfilled and a happy person in general. I’d love to learn more from him on this specific subject and invite you into our conversation about happiness at work and in life. 1st question - what makes you happy in what you do? Personal life is a foundation for everything. When it comes to profession - begins with loving what you do, seeing progress over time, people you’re working with. 2nd question - how do you keep the balance in the midst of everything? Having a good process in the company helps eliminate some of the stress The process you have helps carry you through the stress Having open communication - communicate goals, celebrate success along the way. Having other people know and understand key goals and metrics. Goals for departments and employees. Everyone does an assessment on how they did. Did they meet/exceed the goal. Do retrospectives. Having a systematic process in a company with retros, assessments etc frequently - helps to talk things through. It helps to create a sense of ownership 3rd question - how do you avoid burn out? People that take a bit more time off tend to be more productive over the long term. 4th question - What was getting on the way of your happiness and fulfillment when you were younger? It’s important to know who you are, and not try to be something different. Let your management style reflect who you are and your personality He thought he needed to be like someone else and act like other people, which didn’t match his personality style - that was hard and wrong. ""I wish my younger self would say - take your time and enjoy the ride"". A lot of younger people are watching you. Do things in a more calm manner.
