How Community is the Real Currency at Bridging the Gap

Randy Crabtree and Terrell Turner team up to co-host Episode 276 of The Unique CPA, previewing what's coming July 28th at Bridging the Gap 2026 in Charlotte. Four years in, the conference has moved past simply naming burnout and connection as problems worth discussing, with the focus now turning to implementation: accountability structures, longer workshop formats, and the potential for speakers to linger and chat with attendees in the future instead of disappearing once their time on stage is over. Tying directly into a session on loneliness at the top, Terrell reflects on his newly promoted manager, who quietly absorbed weeks of team burnout rather than raise it, feeling exactly the kind of isolation hits so many leaders, and reminding him how topical and on the nose BTG is every year. There's a session Randy's son is speaking at, which he'll admit up front he's a little biased about, and when talk turns to the gala's NASCAR theme, "The Winner's Circle," they decide that there will be multiple winners this year, with scores of folks playing the roles of pit crew to each other, all of them just trying to help the next person get further down the road.
