I used to treat most activities like campaigns: objective, metric, result.
The podcast broke that pattern.
We started it this year without a lead-gen spreadsheet or a “this must pay for itself in X months” mindset.
It was simply: have real conversations with people we respect from the MSP world and see where it goes.

We reconnected with amazing people from the last 30 years
I found myself genuinely looking forward to each recording
Listening back to random episodes every week or two has become a quiet ritual that resets me
By letting go of the outcome, I gained confidence that we were investing in the right thing: relationships, stories, and shared lessons.

Pick one initiative in 2026 that you will explicitly run with no KPI except “meaningful conversations with good people”.
