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.

You’ll feel it when it’s missing Hi there, I drive a 2001 Silverado pickup. Yup...that's right. It's older than my kids and only 6 months younger than my marriage. 25 years and going strong! A few years ago, before I finally replaced the shocks, every bump in the road rattled my spine. Every pothole felt personal. That’s exactly how it feels working in a company without a strong culture. “Culture… is the shock absorber for really difficult times that push people through their limits” - Eric...

Coaching just got a whole lot more scalable Hi there, We all say coaching matters. But most contact centers only review 1–3% of calls. Not because they don’t want to do more—but because they can’t. Fred Stacey sees a way forward. And yes, it involves AI. “Typically, you're at a one to 15 ratio, where one supervisor to 15 [agents]… The first thing that [AI] does is it scales it to 100%.” On CX Passport, Fred talks about AI not as a buzzword—but as a tool that can finally help CX leaders do the...

Even if it is Wednesday Finding your voice in customer experience isn’t always easy. Especially when it feels like the industry already has a “cool kids’ table” you’re supposed to sit at. Beth Karawan shares what it’s like to feel that way…to question the “plastics”. She also shares what happens when you stop chasing the clique—and start building your own tribe instead. “Slowly but surely, I found my tribe, as it were, of people who were also questioning the status quo.” Beth and I first...
