    Episode #80: What Lumen's Voice Exit Means for IT and Finance Leaders

    Lumen just confirmed it's ending sales of enterprise voice services, but what that actually means depends on what you're using and who's billing you for it. Kyle Hall sits down again with Dave Capece, Resourcive's CX Practice Lead and a former Level 3 network engineer, to break down what's confirmed, what's still unclear, and exactly what to check before your next contract renewal.

    Episode #79: Resourcive CX Practice w/Dave Capece

    Kyle Hall is joined by Dave Capece, CX Practice Lead at Resourcive, for the first practice lead episode of The RaaP. Dave spent the first 15 years of his career as a voice engineer serving telephone companies, then moved to the enterprise side in 2015. He brings that engineering foundation to contact center engagements every day, and it shapes how he diagnoses problems. The conversation covers what actually changed in the contact center over the last decade, why the depth of analytics available today is the single biggest shift, and why roughly half the time the answer is not technology at all. Dave also gets into a pattern he keeps inheriting: organizations that moved to CCaaS three years ago but built it around requirements written for a premise system two decades earlier. And Kyle raises the assumption buried in many cloud business cases, that moving to as a service platforms meant you no longer needed voice engineering expertise on staff. If you run a contact center, or you inherited one, this is a practical look at where the gaps are and how to close them.

    Episode #78: AI Security and the New Rules of Access

    Most organizations are adopting AI tools without fully reckoning with what that adoption means for security. In this episode, Kyle Hall sits down with Kyle Gotzman to break down why traditional security models, including role-based access controls and standard detection methods, weren't designed for a world where AI agents can act on behalf of users at machine speed. They cover the concept of bounded agency, why the MCP layer is becoming the critical choke point in agentic AI environments, and what IT leaders actually need to be thinking about before they hand an AI system the keys to their infrastructure. Whether your organization is deploying Copilot across the company or starting to build agentic workflows, this conversation cuts through the noise and gets practical about where the real risks live.

    Episode #77: The MSP Decision - Cost, Risk, and Strategic Fit

    Managed service providers are often viewed as a way to reduce IT costs, increase coverage, and simplify operations. But the reality is more nuanced. In this episode of The RaaP, Kyle Hall and Kyle Gotzman discuss why MSP selection is becoming a more common priority for mid market, enterprise, and private equity backed companies. They break down what MSPs actually provide, where companies misunderstand the economics, why comparing current IT spend to an MSP quote can be misleading, and what makes the selection process so difficult. The conversation also explores when companies should consider changing providers, how growth and acquisitions can expose MSP limitations, and what good looks like once the right partner is in place.

    Episode #76: Impact Assessment - What Every CIO and CFO Should Be Asking

    Most organizations don’t have a shortage of ideas. They have a prioritization problem. In a world of infinite options, there are finite resources. Figuring out how to allocate those resources for maximum impact is where most teams get stuck. Over time, IT environments drift. Priorities shift. Vendors stay longer than they should. What once made sense no longer lines up with where the business is going. We’re seeing more leadership teams step back and ask a simple question: Are we investing in the right things? In our latest episode of The RaaP, we break down how we approach that question through what we call an Impact Assessment. A structured way to evaluate spend, strategy, and execution and bring it back into alignment.

    Episode #75: Build vs Buy vs Rent - A Framework for Smarter Technology Decisions

    In this episode of #TheRaaP, Kyle Hall and Kyle Gotzman break down the full build buy rent framework and why skipping this step leads to wasted spend, missed differentiation, and frustration across the business. They walk through: Why build vs buy is an incomplete analysis How to think about differentiation, durability, and time horizon The real costs and risks of building software When acquiring a product makes sense and when it does not Why renting is often the right answer and when it becomes a trap The growing “rent and extend” model most teams are actually using today The biggest takeaway: there is no universally right answer, but there are very clear wrong ones. The key is intentional, cross functional decision making before the technology choice is ever made.

    Episode #74 - The Fundamentals of Effective Negotiation

    In this episode of The RaaP, Kyle Hall and Kyle Gotzman strip negotiation back to fundamentals. No games. No manipulation. Just practical rules that consistently produce better outcomes. They cover: • How to recognize when you’re already in a negotiation• Why most bad negotiation is actually bad preparation• How to separate must haves from nice to haves• Why understanding the other side makes you stronger, not weaker• How giving value away silently creates long term problems Whether you’re negotiating vendor contracts, salary, project scope, or internal priorities, this episode focuses on one thing: clarity with intention.

  8. 70

    Episode #73: Bias for Action - The Difference Between Ideas and Results

    Most organizations don’t fail because of bad ideas. They fail because execution never truly begins. In this episode of The RaaP, Kyle Hall and Kyle Gotzman unpack why so many plans stall after the PowerPoint and what actually drives outcomes once the planning phase ends. The conversation focuses on three execution fundamentals that apply at every level of an organization: Building the right team for the outcome Creating a bias for action without chaos Aligning around a clear, shared desired end state If you’re responsible for turning strategy into results in January and beyond, this episode is about getting out of ideation mode and into motion.

    Episode #72: How to Navigate Vendor Promises with Clarity

    In this episode of The RaaP, Kyle and Kyle break down the most common—and most costly—pitfalls organizations encounter during the IT sourcing and vendor selection process. From the ubiquitous “Yes, we can” trap, to hidden-fee mazes, to sales-to-delivery handoff failures, to misleading baseline quotes, to the ticking clock of renewal time bombs, the team walks through how these issues show up in real projects and what buyers can do to avoid them. They also discuss why vendors aren’t acting maliciously—just operating within their incentives—and why experienced partners can spot these patterns early. The conversation is tactical, practical, and directly rooted in lessons from the field.

  10. 68

    Episode #71: Veterans Day Reflection - Lessons that Still Drive Business

    In this special episode of #TheRaaP, Kyle Hall and Kyle Gotzman take a step back from their usual topics to reflect on Veterans Day, and what military service continues to mean in business and leadership today. From the shared trust between veterans to the Marine Corps’ timeless culture and rituals, they explore how strong foundations and shared values enable agility and evolution — both in the military and in modern organizations.

  11. 67

    Episode #70: The AI Divide - Foundations Before Innovation

    MIT recently reported that 95% of GenAI projects are failing, but not because of the technology itself. In this episode, Kyle Hall and Kyle Gotzman dig into why so many organizations can’t get their AI pilots out of the lab. The answer isn’t innovation, it’s foundation. From data quality and process discipline to governance and patience, they explore how companies that mastered the basics years ago are now reaping the rewards of AI, while others struggle to make progress. They also discuss what it means to “earn the right” to adopt new technology, the difference between moving fast and moving forward, and how preparation, not speed, creates real transformation.

  12. 66

    Episode #69: The Venn Diagram of IT Spend: Security, Architecture, Cost

    In this episode of #TheRaaP, Kyle Hall and Kyle Gotzman dive into one of the most critical exercises for IT and finance leaders during budget season: assessing external IT services spend. They break down the foundational steps every organization should take, starting with building a baseline inventory of spend, normalizing vendor data, and questioning long-held assumptions. From there, they explore how to prioritize opportunities using a practical framework that balances cost, architecture, and security. Whether it’s identifying stranded services, rationalizing security tools, or grading initiatives based on impact and difficulty, this conversation provides a clear roadmap for finding meaningful savings without losing sight of business outcomes.

  13. 65

    Episode #68: Managing Telecom Sprawl in Multi-Location Enterprises

They discuss how multi-location companies, especially those with 20 to 100 sites, struggle with legacy circuits, inconsistent inventory, and underutilized UCaaS platforms. Even in a cloud-first world, physical infrastructure challenges persist. From POTS lines and PRIs to broadband contracts and firewall mismatches, the conversation dives into why companies still get tripped up by what’s on the ground. You’ll hear: What changes (and what doesn’t) when you move to the cloud How lack of inventory leads to hidden costs and operational risk Why technical debt is often hiding in your infrastructure The role of a telecom “champion” inside the business How growing companies can stay lean without losing visibility If you're a Director or VP of Infrastructure trying to clean up your network stack without slowing down growth, this episode is for you.

    In today's episode of "The RaaP," hosts Kyle Gotzman and Kyle Hall dive into the intricate topic of technical debt. They begin with some lighthearted banter before transitioning to a detailed discussion on what technical debt entails, its implications, and how organizations can manage it effectively. 1. Defining Technical Debt: - Technical debt refers to the concept where decisions made during development lead to suboptimal outcomes, requiring future rework. This can apply to code, infrastructure, and various IT functions. - It is distinguished from technical constraints, which are limitations imposed by external factors like compliance or regulatory requirements. 2. Categories of Technical Debt: - Deliberate and Reckless: Knowing you're taking shortcuts without a plan to address them. - Deliberate and Prudent: Taking on debt intentionally with a plan to repay it. - Accidental and Reckless: Unintentionally accumulating debt due to poor planning. - Accidental and Prudent: Unplanned debt that arises despite careful planning. 3. Managing Technical Debt: - It's crucial to dedicate resources to paying down technical debt, akin to managing financial debt. Failure to do so can result in escalating 'interest' costs, hindering future development and innovation. - Organizations should treat technical debt repayment as a regular budget item, ensuring that it does not spiral out of control. 4. Impact of Technical Debt: - Accumulated technical debt can slow down an organization, making it difficult to implement new technologies like cloud computing and AI. - Managing technical debt is essential for maintaining agility and staying competitive in a rapidly evolving tech landscape. 5. Current Trends: - The hosts discuss how the move to cloud computing and the advent of AI are making the management of technical debt more critical than ever. Organizations need to ensure their systems are optimized for these new technologies. 6. Practical Implications: - Kyle Hall shares experiences of how technical debt affects not only clients but also the evaluation of vendors. The presence of technical debt in vendor solutions can impact their reliability and product development velocity. By the end of the episode, listeners gain a comprehensive understanding of technical debt, its challenges, and strategies to mitigate its impact. The discussion emphasizes the importance of intentionality and planning in managing technical debt to enable future growth and innovation.
