Welcome to The Forge 🔥 of Unicorns — the podcast where digital evolution meets elite performance. 🚀
I’m Michele Brissoni (Mike) — Tech Advisor, Fractional CTO, and Board-Level Strategist.
Over the past two decades, I’ve invented models and frameworks that have reshaped how organizations evolve in the software era:
Born from decades of research and experimentation, these models guarantee zero disruption and measurable outcomes. They have already guided thousands of developers, C-level leaders, and Fortune 500 organizations in industries ranging from finance and healthcare to transport and telecom.
Each episode of The Forge of Unicorns delivers:
In today’s volatile digital landscape, transformation alone is not enough. To survive, thrive, and secure the future, organizations need systems engineered for resilience, clarity, and exponential performance. That’s what this podcast is about.
