    Episode 85: Live from the Streets of Denver

    We're in Denver for CEDIA, so what better time to knock back a few margs and hit the streets of Denver with our pal Courtney from Newport Home Theaters. We get into what it takes to win industry awards, the vibe from the show, and the abundance of dirtbike riding eunuchs on the streets here. Not an episode to miss.

    Episode 84: The History of Sony

    Some dumbass forgot to hit "record" on the last episode of the podcast, failing to capture 40 minutes of what might have been the best podcast conversation ever. It isn't even close. So, in the interest of keeping the streak alive, no we're not creating a blackout at Camden Yards because we punched Kevin Costner in the face, we're breaking the glass on an emergency episode. We present The History of Sony, as told by Jayson Savage.

    Episode 83: Aging in Place in Your Face

    Jayson and Chris take on the growing “aging in place” category and what it really means for CI dealers. From motion sensors and voice control to entry alerts and lighting that actually helps, they talk through real-world use cases, simple packages, and how to speak to families without getting weird. It’s a solid mix of market insight, nonsense, and the usual back-and-forth that somehow always lands the plane.

    Episode 82: Daniel Tonks' Corporeal Form

    We start out by talking about National Smart Home day, quickly go off the rails and find ourselves trying to figure out how much revenue RemoteCentral.com has indirectly generated for Custom Integrators. Shoutout to subs from Publix, the real hero.

    Episode 80: Imposters

    Ever feel like you're faking it, hoping no one finds out? You're not alone. In this episode, Chris and guest host Jesse talk through imposter syndrome in the CI world—what it is, how it shows up, and why it hits even the most experienced pros. From first installs to big pitches, we unpack the tension between confidence and self-doubt, and why “fake it till you make it” might not be such a bad thing after all.

    Episode 79: Dog Days of Summer

    It’s the middle of July, and things are getting sweaty, literally and figuratively. Chris and Jayson kick back for a classic summer ramble, touching on everything from road trip reflections to what’s (maybe) coming at CEDIA Expo. No strict agenda, just two reps riding the seasonal slowdown and talking shop along the way. Expect a little industry heat, a little nonsense, and a few reminders that the grind doesn’t stop, even when the AC does.
