Hey Podcasters!
At Buzzsprout, most of our collaboration happens through screens. Messages, calls, and pull requests keep everything moving, but once a year, we step away from our desks and meet face-to-face.
This year, we gathered in Tampa, Florida so our fully remote team could reconnect, build trust, and spend time together. Here’s a look behind the scenes at our week!
Kicking Things Off
We started in Ybor City, where our digital avatars turned back into real people. We hosted a Buzzsprout Podcaster Meetup at Oxford Exchange!
Meeting local podcasters was a highlight! Hearing their stories and seeing their excitement reminded us that behind every show are real people using Buzzsprout to share their voices with the world.
Serving and Building
Wednesday morning, we cooked lunch for families at the Ronald McDonald House. It was a small way to serve the community, a chance to work together in a new way, and a time to reflect on how fortunate we are.
That afternoon, we gathered for a Buzzsprout positioning workshop to brainstorm how we can better support podcasters and keep creativity alive. These are the kinds of conversations that come to life when we’re in the same room.
We left with fresh ideas, and we're excited for you to see the results over the next few months.
A Grateful Look Back
Thursday blended reflection and celebration! We kicked off with our State of the Product, sharing wins, challenges, and lessons from the past year. One theme stood out: meaningful progress built through teamwork.
There was plenty of fun, too! Our team enjoyed a Tampa Bay Lightning game, friendly competition at PopStroke, and lots of great food.
Our time in Tampa wasn’t time away from work; it was time that makes the work better. The relationships we build in person shape how we collaborate, solve problems, and support podcasters all year long.
Our co-founder, Kevin Finn, recapped the week on the Buzzsprout blog and shared more about why we continue investing in time together!
Here’s to showing up, together, and helping podcasters everywhere Keep Podcasting!
