Of course we spend the first half of the episode talking about AI, but then we get into some good ol’ fashioned SaaS talk.

In this episode, we talk about the only thing anyone is talking about right now: Claude Code.

This is our annual recap episode. We talk about how things went in 2025 and what we’re hoping to see in 2026.

Personal goals for 2026

• Rick
  • Getting back to basics
  • Going from reactive to proactive (and surviving to thriving)
  • Shifting from a strategy of playing it safe and reducing risk to taking smart risk and being ok looking a little foolish
• Tyler
  • Handle the transition back to full-time work (as it impacts parenting)
  • Find clarity on what level of wealth we’re comfortable exposing our daughter to.
  • Help Shelly find more ways to go out at night while I take care of Syd
  • Finalize will+trust
  • Stretch goal: Start vibe coding personal apps

Professional goals for 2026

• Rick (hopes to achieve at least two of these goals)
  • Outsource, delegate, or automate recurring tasks that I no longer value doing and/or others don’t value me doing
  • Try to grow LegUp Health by 50%, but do it in a way that we are all excited about
  • Rebuild personal website + read 10 really, really good nonfiction books and publish notes on them
  • Experiment with AI to generate 1 additional revenue stream
• Tyler
  • Spend almost all IC time on design, product management, and coding. Fewer distractions!

    • Reduce support by making things more self-serve
    • Main theme: The first 30 minutes

In this episode, we once again talk about AI, and oh boy do we get off topic.

Here's the AI tool Rick mentioned for recording your screen (we'll talk about that in a future episode)

Here's the AI report Rick mentioned

In this episode, Tyler and Rick discuss the challenges faced by Leg Up Health during open enrollment, including issues with email communication and the impact of AI on consumer behavior. They explore the current health insurance landscape, the importance of product strategy and customer experience, and the role of content in engaging customers. The conversation also touches on shifts in search traffic and marketing strategies as they adapt to changing consumer needs.

In this episode, we talk about whether Rick’s expertise with traditional inbound marketing will work for LegUp Health.

We spend the entire episode diving into how we can better define Less Annoying CRM’s ideal customer profile, and what that would mean for the product and marketing.

In this episode, we talk about what the Less Annoying team should be working on while waiting to see if the last bet actually pays off.
