The premiere episode of Built Different features Puget Systems’ founder and president, Jon Bach, sharing his insights and perspectives on the evolution of the tech industry over the past two decades and the ideas, passions and aspirations that inspired him to launch Puget Systems from his garage 25 years ago. The episode, named 25 Years of Being Built Different, is now available to watch. New featured guests and podcast show schedules will be updated and available on the Puget Systems web site.
This “test” podcast kickstarts the series, made of 45 minute podcasts that will feature guests who have demonstrated how they have overcome major challenges in their careers, excelled in their fields and showcases how their pursuit for excellence and choice of the right tools made their success possible. The goal with Built Different is to go inside the studios, labs and workspaces of the people redefining what’s possible in their industries.
Built Different is hosted by Puget Systems’ Head of Media Production, Nicki Sun and Social Media Manager, Houston Bennett, who both tap into their deep connections to the industry and the diverse customer base to ground every conversation with unique perspective and genuine, energetic curiosity.

Nicki Sun, Host & Executive Producer, Head of Media Production: Nicki is Built Different’s on-camera host and media professional with deep roots in AV and creative technology.
Houston Bennett, Co-Host & Co-Producer: Houston Bennett is Puget Systems’ Social Media Coordinator who brings deep knowledge of the Puget product ecosystem, starting his career at Puget Systems building workstations.
Built Different, Built for You
Puget Systems has spent 25 years quietly powering some of the most consequential creative and scientific work in the industry. Its benchmark data is public, the reliability numbers of their workstations and servers are extraordinary and the customer relationships are deep and built on trust. However, the team at Puget Systems realized that almost none of the people doing that work – their community of customers – have ever been asked to talk about their achievements on camera. This podcast was created to change that. Built Different was conceived, designed and produced to educate and entertain a wide variety of people, but who also share a common interest in the technology that makes great ideas come to life. Built Different is for:
- Creative professionals who want to hear how peers solve hard problems;
- Scientists, engineers, and researchers where hardware meets discovery;
- Buyers and team leads who want ROI stories, not marketing copy;
- Anyone building something serious but wants to feel less alone in the complexity.
Built Different premiered on September 9, 2026 and is available everywhere people find their favorite podcasts, and will be featured on Puget Systems YouTube channel.
