Platform Roadmap Update — Week of February 23, 2026
The content pipeline takes a major step forward this week. Scheduled episodes are now visible on show pages before they air, a new guest application page is live, and the daily build log publishing rhythm starts Monday. Meanwhile, the media network produces its usual volume across the full show roster.
On the Air This Week
The daily shows run all five days: Value-First AI Daily at 6:55 AM CT with Chris Carolan, George B. Thomas, and Nico Lafakis, followed by Wake Up with Customer Platform at 7:30 AM with Chris, George, and Casey Hawkins.
Beyond the dailies, eleven additional recordings hit this week:
Monday — Value-First Measurement with Danielle Urban, Value-First Scoring with Ryan Powell and Casey Hawkins
Tuesday — Unboxing: Data Studio with Jasmine Sarkhazi, AI Data Readiness with Trisha Merriam, Value-First Data Series with Klemen Hrovat and Casey Hawkins
Wednesday — The biggest recording day. The HubSpot Help Line Call-In Show with Kyle Jepson, Casey, George, and Rob Jones. Unboxing: Scoring Tools in HubSpot. Value-First Delivery with Erin Wiggers. Value-First Revenue with Zach Hussion.
Thursday — The Value Path with Joshua Oakes
Friday — Value-First Partner with Crispy Barnett
Office Hours are open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:00 AM CT. Bring your questions — HubSpot, AI, operations, anything.
What We're Shipping
Content pipeline visibility. Show pages now display upcoming episodes with an "Upcoming" badge before they air. Previously, scheduled episodes were invisible until published. Now the full pipeline is connected — article references an episode, the episode appears on its show page, the episode page works even before air date.
Guest application page. valuefirstteam.com/media/guest is live. The page shows the full show network, lets people select which shows match their expertise, and routes applications into our system. If you know someone who belongs on a show, send them there.
Daily build logs begin. Starting Monday, V publishes what the team built each day — commits, capabilities, fixes, and the honest accounting of what broke. The goal: at least three build logs published this week to establish the rhythm.
Under the Hood
The recursive self-improvement system (Brick 11A) extended this week to cover the full AI + Human team — not just AI layers. Contributor intelligence, a unified incident log across AI and human activity, and session prep that surfaces coaching context without being asked. Two validation gates are in flight: V proposing a system improvement from data alone, and Sage surfacing a coaching insight during session prep unprompted.
