Something New Happened in This Episode...

Something New Happened

Hi there,

This one felt different.

Not just because of the guest (though Jessica “JP” Posey is always electric), but because we were sitting together, in person, recording the very first episode ever at the brand-new Kit Studios in Chicago!

There’s something about a fresh space. New mics. The buzz of being somewhere built with intention. And that intention? It’s not just about soundproof walls or camera angles. This is all about experience.

JP explains how this isn’t an accident:

We are committed to delivering that best possible experience for our customers, whether that is in a software or digital setting or in a physical one like this.

Kit didn’t just launch a studio; they crafted a space that reflects their brand, their values, and their belief that creators deserve better tools, better spaces, and better experiences.

That showed up in everything. How easily we connected our gear. How comfortable the layout was. How the studio made it feel less like work and more like a conversation.

AND…they listened to me. Even right there in the soft launch and first recording, they wanted to know what I thought as a podcaster.

Even before this, we were talking about little tweaks that we might make or or suggestions that you had in order to make that a really plug and play experience as much as possible.

I was excited. Not just because we were in a gorgeous, branded studio. But because it was a real-life reminder that CX isn’t something you turn on when the customer shows up. It’s baked into everything, even the experience of pressing the record button.

When connection breaks, even the best intentions fall apart Healthcare should be the ultimate model for coordinated experience. Lives literally depend on it. Yet it’s often the industry most haunted by silos. The specialist doesn’t know what the primary doctor prescribed. The pharmacist sees only half the story. The patient, already anxious, becomes the project manager for their own care. That’s where this week’s guest, Silvi Haldipur, brings real perspective. Her view of healthcare isn’t...

Sometimes the smartest move isn’t to add... We all know the math. It costs less to keep a customer than to find a new one. Every CX leader can quote that line in their sleep. Yet time after time, companies spend their energy... and budgets... chasing new customers while ignoring the ones they already have. I saw this firsthand recently. A product I’ve used for years... one that’s been part of my weekly CX Passport workflow... decided to roll out a bunch of new "premium" features. I didn’t ask...

When I think “customer experience,” I don’t immediately picture steel-toed boots and scaffolding. Yet talking with Alyssa Staats reminded me that CX isn’t reserved for hospitality, retail, or tech. It’s just as relevant... maybe more so... in places where the work itself looks interchangeable. In the world of architecture, engineering, and construction, every project follows strict codes, specs, and materials. On paper, one firm’s output looks just like another’s. But Alyssa pointed out...
