Two old men make Nextel chirp sounds and wax on about the pace of technology.

We're back post-CEDIA to see if our predictions were right, wrong, or somewhere in the middle.

We're two-ish weeks from CEDIA Expo and the phrase of the day is "subdued optimism". What can we expect from a CEDIA Expo of uncertainty? We'll get into it.

ADI spins off Resideo, is that a sign of more moves to come? And we talk about what CEDIA Expo is going to look like this year...Ghost town? Best show ever? We have lukewarm takes.

This Inside Integration episode dives into why a real human co-host beats AI, the real-world perks and pitfalls of small business ownership, creative-yet-legal tax strategies, and the nuts and bolts of it all. From write-offs and entity selection to employee stewardship and territory building, Chris and Jayson deliver candid lessons, cautionary tales, and industry humor—DuckTales physics included.

This week, we're keeping the streak alive by using the latest in AI technology.

Big news this week as Nice grabs a chunk of investment capital and we pretend to know all about them as a company. Plus, food.

Housing policy plus pastrami burgers and chili wars. We break down a big bipartisan housing bill (MDUs, modular, mortgages, and code tweaks), map clear plays for integrators, and debate Crown Burgers, dirty sodas, and Chili John’s.

Took two weeks off, all hell broke loose.

We're back with all the travel nightmares, tradeshow, and bizarre food talk you can handle.

This show description is a good indicator of how digging out from being on the road for two weeks is going.

The AV industry is at a crossroads as the post-COVID cash reserves dwindle and new challenges like AI-driven chip shortages loom. Chris and Jayson riff on the chaos of the week, trade show uncertainty, and why TV prices racing to the bottom are forcing integrators to evolve. With the mid-market evaporating and commoditized gear hollowing out traditional profits, they dig into what’s next—lighting, shades, sims, and outdoor comfort—and explore the strategies needed to become an indispensable "technology concierge" rather than "just the AV guys."
