This isn’t a booth-by-booth walk through. It’s not a play-by-play of what was in the showcases. This episode is about perspective.


I break down my biggest takeaways from The National that you won’t hear in the typical recaps:

  • The maturity of hobby businesses and why tech adoption is shaping the next era of collecting
  • Why The National has evolved into a closing event for deals, not the starting point
  • How relationships, not transactions, are the true foundation of the hobby

Whether you were in the room or following from home, this conversation will give you a different lens to look through.
