MCP100 - My Biggest Takeaways After 100 Meet Cool People Episodes

Hey there! This episode is a milestone for me ⇒ 100 episodes of #MeetCoolPeople. I went solo for this one to reflect on some of the biggest insights I’ve collected over these first hundred shows. If you’ve been listening for a while, you know these conversations are about more than just meeting interesting folks. They’re about what happens when you bring together people who genuinely care and share openly.

I broke down a few common themes that kept popping up. 

The power of authentic storytelling. Guests like Graham Kuhn and Mario Wilson gave real examples of how stories shape the way we connect, learn, and grow.

Systems and structure came up a lot, too. Conversations with Scott Neal, Michael Stewart, and Dan Smink dug into building SOPs, delegating, and why automation isn’t about avoiding people It’s about freeing up time for deeper connections.

Another thing that stood out: winners prefer collaboration over competition. Andy Grider’s view on “coopetition” hit home for me. Supporting each other just works better, plain and simple.

Meaningful communication was a thread throughout. Both Dr. K and Julie Jones touched on what it takes to build lasting relationships. These are skills that go way beyond networking.

Many guests pushed the idea of celebrating your own quirks. We talked Renaissance Festivals, opera backgrounds, and AI cats, and MUCH, MUCH MORE! You name it. Being yourself really is the shortcut to finding your tribe.

Here are some takeaways I hope you’ll remember:

• Your story matters, tell it honestly.
• Automate, delegate, and drop the stuff you hate.
• Collaboration beats competition for business growth.
• Clear, warm communication goes further than tactics.
• Celebrate your weird side… it’s your greatest asset.

I want to give the biggest Thank You to each and every one of you that listen to the show and to every guest who helps to make it happen.

I appreciate you all!
