Four months ago, this podcast didn’t exist.
No audience. No roadmap. No clue what was about to happen.

With Spencer Campbell on the mic and Alex Funk behind the scenes, the No Base Pay Podcast went from an idea to 22 episodes featuring record-breakers, Silver Cup winners, future legends, and even the President of Cutco, all in one year.

This episode is our 2025 Wrapped.

A full-circle reflection on the conversations that defined the year, the lessons that kept showing up, and the people who proved, over and over, that consistency, systems, and long-term thinking still win.

In this episode of the No Base Pay Podcast, Spencer and Alex recap:

• How the podcast went from zero to one, and why shipping mattered more than perfection
• The reps and managers who redefined what’s possible in personal sales and leadership
• Why nearly every breakout story shared the same core traits: discipline, structure, and patience
• What stood out most from the biggest episodes of the year, and why they resonated
• The common thread behind record pushes, Silver Cups, million-dollar orders, and sustainable lives

This isn’t a highlight reel.
It’s a reminder of what actually works, and why the long game keeps paying off.
