Hey all - I've been heads down producing CES, NRF and Davos - just now catching my breath and on a train up to NYC for the day. So much to reflect on as it relates to what happened in 2025, where we are as a society in 2026, and what it means for those of us who dare to dream big and make huge strides towards all of our goals. All of the events I've just produced delivered pieces of the puzzle for me and perhaps the biggest takeaway is that I've spent much of the past fifteen years weaving a tapestry of relationships that have all led to this moment. Everything I want to achieve is right in front of me and the players I need to participate are just waiting for the signal. I look forward to jumping in with you and sharing more about the journey. Here are some definitive decisions I've made. I own Modev.com, Developers.AI (pre-launch), Ecosystem Partners which houses my consulting practice and The Tech Ecosystem Institute. And I've formed a holding company Unstacked Technologies - which is a Delaware C Corp to house these three entities. -- At Modev, we've let go of producing our own stand alone conferences. No more multi-day events with a blend of EXPO and programming. This is an old business and private equity driven concentration has changed the landscape such that the industry is driving to larger events, thousands of booths and a pure numbers game. So I'll be focusing Modev on smaller niche events like AI House, AGENTIC AI Davos and instead of GovAI Summit - we'll do highly focused side events and webinars to support public sector. Multi-day conferences take an incredible amount of planning and by letting these go, it allows us to partner with a few industry leaders and create high touch, high quality experiences. Ecosystem Partners has signed two consulting clients and our goal is to get to ten core clients in 2026 - several deals in the works. The Tech Ecosystem Institute will launch an analysis tool in Q2 that will allow any organization to measure the health of their tech ecosystem. This will be a lead capture tool for the consulting practice.

All best to this community!

Hey all - great call today and some awesome intentions being set for 2026. Weekly Prompt 12/8/25: What is the single intention you are willing to hold as the organizing force for your 2026? Intentions are not goals. They are directional commitments. They define: - how you show up, - what you no longer tolerate, - and the way you choose to move through your year. This is not a wishlist. It’s a line in the sand. Examples of intentions (for context, not adoption): - “I have clarity about my goals.” - “I wear my ambition proudly.” - “I lead with unapologetic momentum.” Your turn. Name the intention that will govern how you think, act, and decide in 2026. Once it’s named, the year begins to align around it. This community is being designed as a resource for supporting you on your journey to making big things happen- the biggest of which will be shifting your identity to align with those impossible goals. Pete

Hey all - keeping our tradition of a brief Monday noon EST check-in to share a weekly prompt and open up the conversation about what micro-steps you might take this week towards whatever goal you may have out there. Login here: https://www.skool.com/live/chhjY2MH2Wn See you on the call!

Gratefulness plays an integral role in our identities. It shifts our focus from what’s missing to what’s already supporting us. Reflect on how gratefulness shapes your energy, decision-making, and momentum. What are you grateful for right now that actually helps you move toward your goals, both possible and impossible? Write a few sentences or bullet out the sources of strength already in your life. Have an awesome Thanksgiving! We're headed to Ellicott City, Maryland for a big cousin party, our kids say Thanksgiving Day is their favorite day of the year and we are so blessed. Pete
