Hey there! This episode is a milestone for me ⇒ 100 episodes of #MeetCoolPeople. I went solo for this one to reflect on some of the biggest insights I’ve collected over these first hundred shows. If you’ve been listening for a while, you know these conversations are about more than just meeting interesting folks. They’re about what happens when you bring together people who genuinely care and share openly.
I broke down a few common themes that kept popping up.
The power of authentic storytelling. Guests like Graham Kuhn and Mario Wilson gave real examples of how stories shape the way we connect, learn, and grow.
Systems and structure came up a lot, too. Conversations with Scott Neal, Michael Stewart, and Dan Smink dug into building SOPs, delegating, and why automation isn’t about avoiding people It’s about freeing up time for deeper connections.
Another thing that stood out: winners prefer collaboration over competition. Andy Grider’s view on “coopetition” hit home for me. Supporting each other just works better, plain and simple.
Meaningful communication was a thread throughout. Both Dr. K and Julie Jones touched on what it takes to build lasting relationships. These are skills that go way beyond networking.
Many guests pushed the idea of celebrating your own quirks. We talked Renaissance Festivals, opera backgrounds, and AI cats, and MUCH, MUCH MORE! You name it. Being yourself really is the shortcut to finding your tribe.
Here are some takeaways I hope you’ll remember:
- Your story matters, tell it honestly.
- Automate, delegate, and drop the stuff you hate.
- Collaboration beats competition for business growth.
- Clear, warm communication goes further than tactics.
- Celebrate your weird side… it’s your greatest asset.
I want to give the biggest Thank You to each and every one of you that listen to the show and to every guest who helps to make it happen.
I appreciate you all!

#MeetCoolPeople
We have this amazing technology that keeps us closer than we've ever been yet we're less connected than ever and have become slaves to our technology.
The same technology that was meant to be a tool to help us make life easier and be closer.
The #MeetCoolPeople Movement is to change that.
It's a reminder to put the phone down and pay attention to the people you're with right now.
It's a reminder that social media is there to connect and add value to the people of the world. Use it to Promote what you love, not bash what you don't.
It's a reminder to use that technology to reach out to someone that you can help and be there for them. Find out what they need right now and use your vast network to help make their day better.
It’s a reminder to thank someone for helping you out.
It’s a reminder to introduce someone you meet to someone you know can help them.
And it's a reminder that we can grow to amazing successes but not alone. It requires the help of others.
So surround yourself with people that make you better and make it your mission to #MeetCoolPeople!
Thank you again for helping spread the word and have an amazing day!
