Most decisions look good over 12 months. Very few still look good over 7 to 10 years.

In our Year in Review podcast, @Jim Shaw, @Jordan Frank, @Drew Eubank, and @Chuck Frank discuss a simple but challenging question:

What does it actually mean to be the choice for customers, partners, and team members over the long term?

The discussion touches on:

➡️Investing in people so they want to stay and grow with you

➡️Choosing innovation that solves real problems, not just looks impressive

➡️Building recurring, sustainable revenue that supports customers year after year

This episode offers a transparent look at how we closed out 2025 and how that perspective is shaping our 2026 roadmap.

In our latest TZE episode, our Solutions team, Tori Bennett and Christian Seymour, joined Jim Shaw and Jordan Frank to discuss designing across various industries.

Healthcare isn't retail. Aerospace isn't e-commerce. Each operates under its own set of pressures from compliance to throughput, and that’s where design discipline makes all the difference.

Tori and Christian share how they adapt engineering strategy across these environments and why listening to the operators on the floor often unlocks the smartest ideas in the room.

In our latest TZE episode, Jim Shaw sat down with Victoria Carlton, founder of Carlton Creative Co, for a conversation about what it really means to lead with care.

Victoria brings a fresh perspective on building teams that don't just execute, but thrive. She explains why the best leaders prioritize clarity over control, how small communication shifts (such as audio messages) can strengthen remote teams, and why getting out of your team's way is sometimes the most powerful move you can make.

Her approach is to lead with trust, communicate with intention, and create frameworks that empower people to own the outcome.

When teams know you care, they show up differently.
