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.

What are some of your favorite examples of an unexpected brand extension that deepened your loyalty to the brand?

Doable Is Dangerous In this week's CX Passport, Gloria Gupta and I talked about transformation inside a complex organization. It’s about choice. “It’s figuring out how to do what is worth doing, not just doable.” – Gloria I’ve seen this tradeoff play out more times than I can count. A leader knows the right long-term move. Fix the broken authentication process. Redesign the experience properly. Invest in the infrastructure that prevents friction instead of patching over it. But the quarter is...

We Keep Promoting the Wrong People In this week's CX Passport, The One With the Answers in the Field, April Sabral and I got into something that shows up in retail… but isn’t limited to retail at all. “Just because you were really great at sales or driving results does not mean that you're going to be really good at leading 10 people.” - April That’s obvious. And yet, we do it constantly. Retail does it because results are visible. Your store hits plan… you get promoted. You exceed KPIs… you...

Designing shame into the experience? In this week's CX Passport, I talked with Joe Macleod about something we still don’t design with the same care as the rest of the journey: the end. We spend a lot of time empowering customers early. We give them tools to compare, investigate, customize, and choose. Agency is designed into the experience from the start. When the relationship winds down, that support often disappears. Joe said: “What we’ve done with the consumer is bamboozle them in this...
