Podcasts about Attendance

This week on the Scottsdale Vibes Podcast, we're talking baseball, community, and what makes Scottsdale spring training season so special. I'm joined by Jeff Meyer, a longtime community leader and President of the Cactus League Baseball Association, to pull back the curtain on one of Scottsdale's most iconic traditions. Today's episode is one I've been really looking forward to because it highlights something that truly puts Scottsdale on the national map every single spring: the Cactus League. I'm excited to be joined by Jeff Meyer, a prominent Arizona business leader, longtime Scottsdale Charros member, and President of the Cactus League Baseball Association.  Jeff served as president during a pivotal time for the league, helping oversee the organization that brings 15 Major League Baseball teams and fans from all over the country right here to the Valley each year. Beyond baseball, Jeff has been deeply involved in Scottsdale's civic and nonprofit community, making him the perfect person to talk about not just spring training, but what it means to steward traditions that define Scottsdale's identity. We're diving into how the Cactus League works, why Scottsdale plays such a key role, and what fans can look forward to as we head into another exciting season. 2026 Cactus League Spring Training Games are being played now thru March 24th Find all the info on stadium and games at Cactus League dot com. https://cactusleague.com/   Arizona Sun Circuit Quarter Horse Show Friday Feb 27th Westworld of Scottsdale It's the largest AQHA circuit in the world yet there is a class for every exhibitor at every level.  Enjoy the great atmosphere and weather while you show at the world class equestrian facilities. https://westworldaz.com/upcoming-events/#all-events   Spring Training Movie Night: A League of Their Own February 28th 7pm  - Scottsdale Civic Center Plaza Grab a blanket, friends and family, and enjoy a showing under the stars of the movie, A League of Their Own.

Six Flags posted Q4 2025 results this week. Modified EBITDA margin fell from 33.2% to 27.1%. Attendance dropped 13%, with roughly 425,000 of those lost visits tied directly to cutting winter holiday events at four parks — a decision the company now calls a self-inflicted headwind. New CEO John Reilly is two months into the job and was candid about not yet having a full plan. He's toured 14 parks, collected over 300 employee proposals, and shared examples from his listening tour: increasing ride uptime and throughput, placing executive chefs in parks, and buying equipment the chain has been renting at a loss for years. All good ideas. All things that probably should have been happening already. What the examples reveal is a deeper structural problem with how information and decisions have flowed across 26 parks — and whether the merger made that worse. Reilly deserves time. But the margin, the debt, and the parks that barely contribute to EBITDA aren't going to wait forever. Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

Datavant, the data collaboration platform trusted for healthcare, is today announcing the second in its series of free tech talks — called Unplugged. The Unplugged series was started by Datavant late last year and was designed to spark conversations and share insights among the tech community in Galway and beyond. The events bring together technology professionals and business leaders who are driving technology investment decisions and executing strategies. The topic for the March 4 event is 'Product Development within a Tech-Forward Organisation' with product experts from the U.S. attending to share their insights and answer audience questions. Datavant Chief Product Officer, Sam Diederich, is hosting this event and will lead the discussion with Datavant Chief Technology Officer Josh Builder, also offering his experience. Two special guests at the March 4 event are Datavant's Andrea Kowalski, SVP Product Provider Solutions and Nausheen Moulana, SVP Engineering, Provider Products, who will discuss their personal career journeys across engineering and product development. Andrea Kowalski leads innovation in interoperability, patient access, and provider-focused technology. With more than 15 years' experience in healthcare tech at companies like Tebra and athenahealth, she has been recognised among the Top 25 Women Leaders in Healthcare Software and Top 25 Software Product Executives. A founding member of CHIEF, Andrea is passionate about advancing women in leadership and using technology to transform healthcare delivery. Nausheen Moulana has more than 20 years of experience scaling enterprise SaaS platforms, with deep expertise in data innovation, agile product delivery, and building high-performing engineering teams. Her career spans ethics and compliance, healthcare, enterprise search, and scientific computing. Before joining Datavant, Nausheen served as CTO at Ethisphere, where she led the company's transition from a services-led organisation to a product-centric SaaS business. Datavant Chief Product Officer, Sam Diederich, says: "Product is at the heart of how technology organisations build, scale and innovate. Product Strategy, Product Management, and its partnership with technology play a central role in the work we do at Datavant. This is exactly what we want to spotlight as part of our Unplugged series – we'll explore how product management drives innovation and unpack the skills that make product leaders successful, as well as how we see these principles reflected in our team today. We'll also discuss the experiences and capabilities that translate into effective product roles, recognising that product is not typically a formal academic discipline." Unplugged – Product Development within a Tech-Forward Organisation will be held on Wednesday, March 4 at JEKYLL at the Hyde Hotel in Galway. Doors will open at 6 pm with the talk beginning at 6.30 pm. The event will end at 9 pm. There will be networking opportunities before and after the interactive speaking session. Attendance is free, but spaces are limited. Those interested can register on Eventbrite here.

This week, Be Here Now is the main message. As much as possible, make choices to be here and be now in ways that are consciously relational vs. unconsciously reactive. The more you can bring awareness to the present moment, the more freedom and strength you have. Karmic patterns are ready for resolution and regeneration. This week-ahead reading for Feb 16-22, 2026 is an excerpt from this week's ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Somatic Space class⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Renee Sills.

On the February 16, 2026 episode of  the Little Column A, A Little Column B Podcast, hosts Willie Alimonos and Zach Bishop break down one of the strangest and most debate-heavy weeks in sports. From an Olympic fugitive story to NBA tanking fines, college basketball fights, NFL ownership debates, and even a Daytona 500 milestone, this episode blends hard takes, humor, and real conversations about accountability and the fan experience. The show opens with a bizarre Olympic anecdote — a Slovak man on the run for 16 years arrested while trying to attend a hockey game — which sparks a larger discussion about the rising cost of attending live sports and when fans will finally choose the couch over the arena. NBA All-Star Weekend gets a full breakdown, with Willie and Zach debating whether the new target-score format actually improved effort and watchability. They highlight standout moments from Victor Wembanyama and Kawhi Leonard, Damian Lillard's three-point win, and the Chris Paul skills challenge controversy. From there, the conversation turns serious: Adam Silver's response to tanking, fines handed down to teams like Utah and Indiana, and what real structural changes (draft reform? moving the trade deadline?) could fix the problem. College basketball coverage dives into on-court fights, dangerous plays, and Jerome Tang's firing after a brutally honest press conference at Kansas State. The hosts preview major matchups, assess draft prospects like Darren Peterson and Cameron Boozer, and break down Florida's resurgence and the shifting NCAA landscape. NFL talk includes a full betting season recap, the Tyreek Hill release and potential landing spots, and a spirited debate over NFL team report cards, workplace perks, and owner accountability. The episode also touches on Michael Jordan's Daytona 500 ownership milestone, an Olympic curling cheating controversy between Canada and Sweden, a canceled ski-jump round due to weather, and how Peacock's “Gold Zone” coverage is shaping Olympic viewing habits. Throughout the episode, Willie and Zach debate responsibility, league overreach, fan value, and what would actually make sports better to watch — or attend — in 2026.

Melanie talks with Aaron Klemm from Summit Ministries, a featured Teen Track speaker at Thrive!, about helping teenagers wrestle with big worldview questions such as whether God exists and what He is like. Aaron explains how growing in confidence that the Christian worldview is big enough to engage all of life can shape the way students approach college, relationships, work, and everyday decisions.Amanda then addresses a question many families are asking: What counts as homeschool attendance? She clarifies how North Carolina's homeschool law applies to the operation of your school rather than counting a set number of days, how to think about attendance and annual testing within a calendar year, and what to do when filing a Notice of Intent midyear. She also explains how to handle situations where one child is homeschooled while another is enrolled in public school.News and Upcoming Events2026 Midwinter Chess Tournament winners England Planetarium and Museum of the Coastal Carolinas field trip Thrive!

We have suggestions on how to answer these awful questions.

As the school year gets underway, recently released data shows while the number of students regularly turning up to school is improving it is still a long way from the government's goal of 80 percent of students present more than 90 percent of the time. Provisional data for term 4 of last year shows 57.3 percent of students were regularly in class, for Māori it was 43 percent, and just over 39 percent for Pasifika. President of the New Zealand Pasifika Principals Association Bert Iosia spoke to Lisa Owen.

Today's episode comes directly from a listener's question, and I love these because they tell me people are thinking about their futures. The listener didn't share a name, just their email address. Anyway, their question was what are the three best jobs in the distribution field? Now, before I answer that, I want to say, and it's the truth, in my opinion anyway, there are no bad jobs in distribution. We've learned that every role matters. Every position contributes to the movement of product, safety, productivity, and ultimately the success of the team and operation. But if you're asking me, and I'm familiar with most all of them, from loading trucks to executive leadership, the three positions that consistently stand out as strong, long-term career roles, my answer is the putaway forklift operator, the order selector, and the front-line lead and supervisor positions. I'll share some thoughts about all three, and then I want to share a bit about something just as important. Three of my go to entry level positions, or my favorite get your foot in the door tasks. Unloaders, loaders, and sanitation, because those are often the doors that open other opportunities in this industry. Ok, we'll start with the putaway forklift operator. This is the person responsible for taking inbound product and placing them into their correct warehouse location, often at height, at quite the pace, and always with safety and accuracy in mind. Put-away operators are trusted with the inventory, operating expensive equipment, they may be working in narrow aisles, with tall vertical storage, and the accuracy of the entire picking operation downstream. If the put-away goes wrong, everything past that step goes wrong. A mis-slotted pallet can cause lost inventory, missed orders, wasted man hours, and indirect time that can never be recovered. That's why experienced put-away operators are respected and valued. This role hones our forklift skills, teaches us system disciplines, and the importance of inventory accuracy, focus and patience. It's also a position that often leads to an Inventory control future, replenishment roles, lead operator positions and a track to Supervisor and front line management. And here's something people don't always realize, put-away operators are usually among the highest paid hourly associates in a facility, especially when experience, certifications, and productivity are factored in. It's not flashy. But it's an important position. And it's absolutely a career role. And If distribution has a heartbeat, the order selector is it. Order selectors are the engine that drives outbound operations. They take the orders, pick the product, build the pallets, and prepare shipments for delivery. This role teaches discipline and accountability in a way few others do. Order selectors live in a world of measured productivity, accuracy expectations, time standards and quality checks. And it's not for everyone, people sometimes look down on order selecting because it's so physically demanding. But in reality, it's one of the best training grounds in distribution. Selectors learn product knowledge, slotting logic, warehouse flow, time management, and personal accountability. They also learn how operations truly work, because when something upstream fails or gets messed up, selectors feel it immediately. The great selectors often become, lead selectors, trainers, safety champions, and Supervisors. I've seen countless leaders start as selectors, and the reason is simple, they understand the operation at ground level. And that experience cannot be taught in a classroom. Now let's talk about leadership. Front-line leads and supervisors are where experience turns into influence. This role is not just about numbers. It's about people. Supervisors are responsible for Safety, Productivity, Attendance, Training, Conflict resolution, Coaching, and Communication. They bridge the gap between Management expectations, and front-line realities. It's one of the most challenging roles in any warehouse, and, I believe, one of the most rewarding. Great supervisors, know the work, respect the team, always lead by example, hold everyone to the same standards, and I hope Coach instead of just correct their teams. This role opens doors to Operations management, Safety leadership, Training and development, Inventory and planning, and Executive leadership. In my humble opinion the best supervisors usually come from the floor. They've unloaded trucks. They've selected orders. They've operated equipment. And because of that, they lead with credibility. Ok, there's a little on three positions in the distribution field that many aspire to master. Now I want to talk about 3 positions that can help get us to them. When I'm asked how to break into warehousing I share some thoughts on the Unloader, Loader, and Sanitation positions. These jobs don't always get the respect they deserve, but they are not dead end jobs. They're great entry points and they are how many careers begin. First up is the Unloader. Unloaders are the first link in the inbound chain. They break down freight, handle every inbound piece, and set the tone for accuracy and safety on the dock. Unloaders learn product handling, teamwork, how to handle a quick pace and the Warehouse layout and inbound systems. I've seen many unloaders move into forklift roles, Receiving, Inventory and Lead positions. The flip side of the unloader is the loader. Loaders are responsible for the final step before product leaves the building. This position carries with it a lot of pressure. They must understand Weight distribution, Load integrity, Accuracy and Timing or dispatching, when the drivers will be leaving. Loaders develop attention to detail, physical discipline, and accountability. Many loaders become Drivers, Dispatchers leads and Supervisors, even Safety leaders. And then we have the sanitation position. Sanitation teams keep facilities Clean, Safe, compliant and audit ready. Without sanitation Slips and falls increase, Equipment breaks down from running over debris and Product quality can suffer. Sanitation can offer us Steady work, Consistent hours, and a foot in the door to our industry. And I've seen sanitation associates move into building maintenance, Equipment operation, Safety roles, and Supervisory tracks. Here's the truth about distribution careers. Very few people start at the top. Most start where opportunities or positions are open. I believe what separates those who grow into other positions from those who stay stuck in one isn't the starting job. It's showing up, being on time, Learning the operation, saying yes to or accepting training, maintaining a positive attitude, and always Following safety and procedures as instructed. I'm going to say it again, this industry rewards consistency. If you prove you can be trusted with Time management, Equipment, Safety, and People, more doors open for us. So, when someone asks me, what are the best jobs in distribution? I struggle with my answer. Yes, put-away forklift operator, order selector, and front-line lead or supervisor are outstanding career roles. But every career usually starts somewhere else. Unloaders. Loaders. Sanitation. Those aren't just jobs. They're starting points. And in distribution, if you're willing to learn, work, and grow, there's no ceiling on where you can go. So honestly, I think the best job in the distribution industry is the one you love doing. Thanks again for the question and thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with me. Always be planning your next step, and remember the safety of you and your team always comes first!
