Friday Coffee Talks

Friday Coffee Talks #110 - I've talked plenty about my tips for getting the most out of travel but today's episode covers some of the traditions that I've fallen into when I'm on the road. After a week in Charlotte at our Sales Kick Off and being reunited with some of my best work friends, I was reminded of some of the little things that I always have to make sure to do when I'm away from home. What are some of the little customary things that you do?

Friday Coffee Talks #109 - I was completely stumped when it came time to record an episode today. So I did what anyone in technology would do these days: consulted ChatGPT. Was I wowed with an amazing litany of content ideas? No. In fact, I was pretty disappointed by the response and that's pretty consistent with my experience using AI for work. How has your experience been?

Friday Coffee Talks #108 - The finale of Ted Lasso this week had me thinking quite a bit about my own journey with mental health. Today's episode goes into a bit of the backstory of what led me to start talking with a therapist regularly and what the outcome has been for me. Enjoy!

Friday Coffee Talks #107 - I've talked before about my love for trivia, but the past couple of weeks have brought something wonderful to the trivia world: Jeopardy! Masters. I'm not one to have aspirations to be on Jeopardy! but I am a massive fan and this event bringing back some of the all-time greats has been a real treat.

Friday Coffee Talks #106 - When I was just getting going in IT and then all over again when I transitioned from engineering to sales, I got so nervous before meetings that I wanted to throw up. I put so much pressure on myself to perform and to know everything and I was eaten up by so much anxiety that I can't imagine what customers must have been thinking when I walked in. Confidence is a huge topic when it comes to doing well in this space and it's all about finding the right balance that allows you to do well while also being careful not to overdo it.

Friday Coffee Talks #105 - Living in the Volpe house over the last few weeks has felt like being in a sick ward - it's been ailment after ailment and Fally is the one getting hit this time. She stayed home from school today so she joined me to recap our trip to Washington, D.C. We took a long weekend to go on a family vacation and really enjoyed ourselves! We got to see the pencil, the Aaron Space museum, and the man in the big white chair.

Friday Coffee Talks #104 - I've been trying to convince her basically since I started doing interviews and the time has finally come - I sat down for an FCT Interview with my beautiful wife, Mandy Volpe. She's the hardest working woman I know doing multiple jobs and excelling at everything along the way. In addition to joking about cooking and our favorite movies, we discuss her beliefs about community, why wonder is so important, and why she thinks play is crucial. We also do the very first FCT Lightning Round and we get a big curveball at the end with her go-to coffee order. Please enjoy!

Friday Coffee Talks #103 - The list of things I have loved through my life is long but there are definitely things that stand out and rise to the top. I've been very lucky to introduce my kids to some of these things and gotten to experience them through their eyes. Today's episode discusses my coffee failings, the activities that I love to do with my kids, and how each one has impacted me as a parent.

Friday Coffee Talks #102 - I get a lot of questions about traveling so I made an episode this week where you can join me for a full, jam-packed day of flying, driving, meeting, and eating. Most of this week was spent in Pennsylvania meeting customers and partners and I share what a typical day traveling is like for me.

Friday Coffee Talks #101 - We've been really into a couple of things recently and I'm sharing some of my favorite things. Cava makes an incredible bowl that I've been eating non-stop and there are a few shows we've been bingeing like crazy. Full Swing was a healthy obsession for a while and I've fallen more in love with watching golf through it. This past week has introduced a new favorite in Shrinking and the incredible comedy performance of Jason Segel. What are the best ones you're seeing currently?
