Episode Transcript:

Today we're going to talk about a happy new year. How about that? We're going to talk about the year that was, the year that is, and the year that will be at TCT and in the compliance space in general. So Adam, before we get started, I wanted to remind the folks, now the beginning of the year is the perfect time of year for you to reach out to us, let us know your thoughts, your suggestions, funny jokes, maybe a great recipe, always interested to hear what you have to say to us at Compliance Unfiltered.

Well, happy new year to you, sir. Talk to us a little bit more about what the year is like for you.

Yeah, and one thing to add on to what you were just saying there a minute ago, because I similarly would echo the sentiment. We'd love to hear from the listeners and, you know, certainly if there are topics that you're struggling with, if there's a topic that you struggled with that you think somebody else may be in the same situation, like us to cover, et cetera, go ahead and throw the, throw the ideas. We'd love to, love to hear the input, love to hear the feedback.

But, man, we're, we're heading into the, heading into the end of a good old 2025. And, well, we got, you know, we got holidays a foot. We've got all sorts of traveling happening. We've got college football all over the place. It's a, it's a good time of year and also a good time to kind of reflect on, you know, reflect on 25, look ahead at 26. So, you know, I don't know, as I, as I, you know, kind of take, take stock of, of 2025, you know, it's just a, in general, it's a time of year where, you know, remain appreciative of the, you know, of the, the, the folks that surround us, you know, whether they be family or family or friends, and certainly in TCT's case, the, you know, the, the awesome client base that we've got, you know, their, their involvement, their, their, their business, unbelievably appreciative of, of everybody, you know, that, that we've got, you know, it's been, yeah, it's been a really, it's been a really fun, really fun year.

Lots of stuff going on on, you know, and all that fun stuff. I mean, you know, you look back and, and you just look at, you know, how many new friends that we've, you know, that we've kind of made throughout the, you know, throughout the year, it's been, it's been a, it's been a wild ride. So it's, it's always fun, fun doing that. Part of the, the, the part that I really like about, you know, kind of about how we do what we do and this arena is, you know, is that input, is that feedback that we get from the, you know, from the customers, especially the new ones that, you know, that come on, getting their input on, you know, things they'd like to see within the system and features and functions, et cetera.

Um, God, when we, when we started this, it started with like, I don't know, we had, I had 200 or something, uh, different ideas for things that I wanted to, you know, go kind of go do with the system, but when we launched it, it very quickly morphed because, you know, we did encourage the, the, you know, everybody to participate, right? And so when we launched this thing back in 2015, um, it was actually technically, I don't know if anybody knew this, but it was, it was technically ready to ready for prime time in 2014. And it's kind of apropos because we're at the end of the year, right? Well, back in 2014, we were ready to roll in, I think it was around the October, mid to late October timeframe, early November.
