"No trucking company in the history of trucking companies has ever made money if their wheels aren't moving basically all the time." - Sean Devine, Founder and CEO, XBE When costs are high and competition is tight, how companies think about opportunities and challenges determines how successful they will be.  They must deal with the never-ending push and pull between procurement and sales, the role of operational planning, and demand that alternates between peaks and troughs, but the big question is always the same: Is your core business as profitable as it could be? Sean Devine is the Founder and CEO of XBE, and Sean Correll is their General Manager of Heavy Logistics. XBE is an operations platform focused on heavy materials, logistics, and construction. Their customers build and maintain roads, manufacture with concrete and asphalt, and mine and transport aggregate – expensive, asset-intensive activities. Starting with the need to maximize asset utilization, and then transitioning into how the most strategic business decisions are made, this conversation applies far beyond heavy logistics. Kelly, Sean, and Sean discuss:  How to optimize owned v. hired logistics capacity The many different levers that can turn a good operation into a great one  Understanding the cost of an opportunity, as well as buy-side competition Why we all need to resist the temptation to run towards even the best answers  

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Chris Mondini, Vice President of Stakeholder Engagement and Managing Director of Europe for ICANN, and Dusty Trevino, CEO of Dot Vegas. We will learn how top-level domains are created and what domains like Dot Vegas can do to help a brand stand out. Our conversation is informative, educational, and will give you a whole new perspective on your brand's Internet address. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How top-level domains (TLDs) are created and why the addressing system of the Internet matters Why distinctive TLDs, like Dot Vegas, offer a strategic advantage for destination branding and marketing What it takes to register your own top-level domain, including the technical, financial, and organizational requirements necessary How geographic domains (such as .vegas, .nyc, and .brussels) can strengthen place identity and foster trust Why cities and entrepreneurs collaborate in launching city-based TLDs, and how community endorsement is essential for successful implementation How adopting new TLDs can make brands more memorable to prospective visitors, and help organizations stand out from the crowd Demystifying Top-Level Domains A memorable web address is more than just a convenience, it's an essential tool for branding, discoverability, and trust. Chris Mondini, Vice President of Stakeholder Engagement and Managing Director of Europe for ICANN, and Dusty Trevino, CEO of Dot Vegas, discuss how TLDs like .vegas, .paris, and .nyc can be invaluable assets for destination marketers, tourism professionals, and place branding experts. Most consider internet domains an afterthought, but as Chris explains, they're the backbone of online connectivity. The Internet isn't a single global network—it's tens of thousands of independently operated networks that agree to connect using common protocols and a shared addressing system. Fifteen years ago, there were only a handful: .com, .net, .org, and so on. Today, there are TLDs for cities (.nyc, .paris), concepts (.guru, .xyz), and more, opening new doors for personalized branding and community-building online. The Dot Vegas Story Dusty offers an inside look into operating Dot Vegas, which shows how a custom domain can amplify a destination's brand. Unlike some city domains, .vegas is globally accessible; anyone can register, regardless of residency. This flexibility enables local businesses, tour operators, and organizations worldwide to associate themselves with the Vegas brand, strengthening their ties to the city's renowned excitement and appeal. Why Top-Level Domains Matter for Marketers A custom TLD isn't just a vanity URL. Operating a TLD means running a piece of internet infrastructure and directly controlling your digital address, data queries, policies, and trust signals. For marketers, there are lots of benefits: Brand Identity: A city or region TLD immediately communicates place and can reinforce local pride. Discoverability: Words like "weddings.vegas" are memorable, making campaigns more effective and easier to recall. Trust & Security: A TLD operated or endorsed by local government or a trusted entity assures users of authenticity—crucial for e-commerce, municipal services, and tourism. Data Insights: TLD operators gain visibility into traffic and usage, supporting more targeted digital strategies. If you see ".yourcity," you can trust you're connecting with the real brand. Top-level domains aren't just technical jargon; they're strategic marketing tools that can transform destination branding, promote community engagement, and build trust with global audiences.

Kevin looks back at a time when we could all visit this incredible city - one of the true gems of world travel - without the shadow of war making journeys there impossible. And Kevin hopes to see that time come back soon. And when peace does return, people can again enjoy the wonder of the ballet, the White Nights, the music, the palaces and the museums. “I visited St Petersburg several times in the 1990's and 2000's.” says Kevin, “and took groups of ballet fans from Ireland and the UK.

La capitale écossaise et ses décors médiévaux ont inspiré J.K. Rowling pour la saga Harry Potter. Destination de vacances prisée par les fans, Édimbourg regorge de marches guidées et de magasins dédiés à l'univers du sorcier à lunettes. Mais depuis quelques années, l'autrice désormais milliardaire a mis sa fortune au service de l'idéologie transphobe, au point de contraindre la justice à revenir sur les droits des femmes transgenres. Le secteur du tourisme se voit forcé de s'adapter, entre demande commerciale et respect des minorités. De notre correspondante à Londres, Le château millénaire d'Édimbourg se découpe sur le ciel gris d'Écosse, à quelques centaines de mètres du cimetière de Greyfriars. Connu pour sa statue du chien Bobby, l'endroit accueille chaque année un demi-million de touristes vêtus de capes noires et d'écharpes en laine aux couleurs des maisons de l'école (fictive) de sorcellerie de Poudlard. Les pierres tombales portent des noms familiers pour les fans de la saga littéraire Harry Potter : Thomas Riddell, Scrymgeour, Moodie, McGonagall... Plusieurs fois par semaine, Christine dirige des marches guidées à travers le cimetière. « La popularité de ces tours m'étonne toujours, après toutes ces années, s'émerveille la jeune femme, vêtue d'un uniforme de velours noir et vert émeraude. Édimbourg ressemble tellement à Poudlard, c'est merveilleux pour se plonger dans l'univers de Harry Potter ! » Parmi les participants, beaucoup ont grandi avec les livres. Le montant des marches Potter Trails est libre. Et depuis quelques années, l'entreprise reverse une partie de ses profits à des ONG qui défendent les droits des personnes transgenres. « C'est une manière d'afficher clairement que nos marches accueillent tout le monde, sans distinction de genre », explique Christine. Ce qui pourrait sembler évident relève pourtant du nécessaire. Depuis quelques années, la créatrice de l'univers Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling, s'est distinguée sur les réseaux sociaux par ses positions conservatrices transphobes. Plus inquiétant, elle, à qui la marque Harry Potter rapporte chaque année plus de 50 millions de dollars, a financé le recours en justice d'une association écossaise contre des réformes. En avril dernier, elle a obtenu que la justice considère les femmes transgenres comme des hommes. Depuis, les fans s'interrogent : faut-il continuer à consommer du contenu, et donc verser de l'argent à une autrice dont l'idéologie est loin de faire consensus ? « La moralité des livres est complexe, et bien entendu loin d'être idéale, admet la guide. Mais de nombreux lecteurs, y compris ceux qui ont grandi avec Harry Potter, ont trouvé du réconfort dans le message de la série : le fait de se sentir différent et d'enfin trouver un endroit où on se sent bien, et la résistance contre la haine. C'est ce qui nous motive. » L'une des rues principales de la vieille ville d'Édimbourg, Victoria Street, possède un café qui a abrité les premières séances d'écriture de J.K. Rowling et lui aurait servi d'inspiration pour la rue commerçante des fournitures magiques, le Chemin de Traverse. Devant la boutique officielle, les fans font la queue pour acheter une baguette magique, une peluche, une écharpe. Après une demi-heure d'attente, Estelle sort du magasin, les mains vides : « J'aime relire les livres, revisionner les films... Mais je ne cautionne pas les propos de l'autrice et je ne veux plus lui verser d'argent. » Alors, la jeune Normande, vêtue d'un pull de la maison Serdaigle, s'adapte : « J'achète d'occasion, et je me suis mise au tricot pour fabriquer mon pull ! » Du côté des militants LGBTQ+, certains membres de la communauté appellent plutôt au boycott de tout ce qui touche à l'univers magique du sorcier à la cicatrice en éclair. Les associations, elles, préfèrent ne pas évoquer les positions de l'autrice pour ne pas participer à sa visibilité. Dans cette démarche, Fraser Horn a décidé de totalement repenser son offre de marches guidées dans Édimbourg. Ce jeune papa s'est lancé comme guide indépendant au début de l'année, et propose à l'époque des tours Harry Potter et des marches LGBTQ, sur les lieux importants dans l'histoire des minorités sexuelles. « Mais en avril [quand la Cour suprême a indiqué ne plus reconnaître le genre auto-déclaré], les positions de J.K. Rowling sont devenues indéfendables, et j'ai compris que ces deux marches n'avaient plus leur place sur le même flyer », explique-t-il. À l'approche du mois des Fiertés – le mois de juin, consacré à la visibilité de la communauté LGBTQ+ –, le guide décide de remplacer ses tours Harry Potter par de nouveaux horaires pour ses marches LGBTQ+, ce qui suscite un fort intérêt médiatique. « Certains ont pensé que c'était un coup de communication de ma part, mais j'ai tout de même lâché un tiers de mon activité, pour respecter mes valeurs », précise-t-il. Depuis, Fraser propose de manière permanente plus de marches LGBTQ+, où il en profite pour donner plus de visibilité aux personnalités homosexuelles et transgenres de l'histoire édimbourgeoise, celles-là même que J.K. Rowling cherche à effacer. « J'emmène mes groupes dans la cour du collège de médecine, pour leur montrer la plaque commémorative du Dr. James Barry : un homme transgenre, né dans une famille pauvre, qui est devenu l'un des meilleurs chirurgiens de la Royal Navy », raconte-t-il. La transidentité du docteur n'a été révélée qu'à sa mort, à l'indifférence de ceux qui l'avaient connu. Du côté du secteur touristique et à l'échelle de toute l'Écosse, les syndicats notent une légère baisse du tourisme liée à Harry Potter, au profit d'autres séries comme Outlander, mais se préparent à une recrudescence des séjours sur les lieux de tournage des films, avec la sortie d'une nouvelle série inspirée des livres sur HBO en 2027.

In this episode, Antonio, Ward, and their guest Dave Szweduik dive into the creative process behind Fujifilm “recipes”—custom in-camera film simulation settings—and what they reveal about each photographer's way of seeing. Dave shares how he's been using AI-assisted tools like ChatGPT to generate color and tone profiles inspired by the look of classic film photographers such as Joel Sternfeld. What started as an experiment became a way to simplify his workflow and rediscover his photographic voice. His images—especially a quiet snow-covered church scene—sparked a conversation about warmth, subtlety, and finding cohesion between subject and color, reminding the group how digital tools can still lead to deeply personal results . The discussion then shifts to Ward's recent Substack essay, The Journey or the Destination, where he explores how photographers view their own work differently than their audiences do. Ward describes “journey” photos as the images that document exploration and process, while “destination” photos are the finished statements—the ones that feel complete and timeless. Together, the trio reflect on how both types of photos shape a photographer's evolution, with Antonio connecting the idea to his own recurring sunrise shots and Dave relating it to his spontaneous, project-free approach.

Peter German wrote two reports for the Attorney General of British Columbia, called Dirty Money, and Dirty Money Part Two.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Tannis Gaffney, Chief Marketing Officer of Travel Alberta. Tannis walks us through the strategy behind Canada's wild side branding and the secret behind making their brand permeate everything they do. She shares more about Travel Alberta's collaboration with Indigenous Tourism Alberta and how that relationship has evolved, opening up new immersive cultural experiences for the right types of travelers. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why Alberta chose to reposition its brand around "Canada's Wild Side" and how leaning into national identity helps the province stand out How research on traveler sentiment influenced their messaging How Travel Alberta encourages creativity and agility, allowing the team to rapidly jump on relevant trends and opportunities How their partnerships are creating authentic, immersive cultural experiences for visitors What strategies Alberta is using to attract American travelers, especially in the winter season How Travel Alberta operates as part of a collaborative "wolf pack" ecosystem, working closely with DMOs, operators, and national partners to drive tourism growth across the province Reimagining Alberta and Showing Off Canada's Wild Side Tannis and her team faced a dilemma familiar to many regional DMOs: international travelers often know Canada's big cities, but not its provinces. Travel Alberta strategically shifted their messaging and instead of leaning exclusively on provincial identity, they now lead with the power of the Canada brand and then highlight Alberta as its most adventurous, untamed offering. By anchoring Alberta's appeal in both its jaw-dropping natural diversity (like six UNESCO World Heritage sites) and the undeniable warmth of its people, the new branding sidesteps "provincial" confusion, offering travelers an invitation to experience "Canada's Alberta", a place where wild landscapes meet welcoming hospitality. Creative Agility Tannis credits much of Alberta's marketing agility to her strategic council. This monthly internal brainstorm is an incubator for spontaneous, opportunistic marketing ideas—ways to seize trends or conversations in innovative, resourceful ways. Take "The Last of Us" TV series, filmed in Alberta. The team quickly released itineraries mapping out the show's filming locations. The response was phenomenal: a thousand percent spike in website traffic as fans sought to experience these sites in real life. Another standout was the "Alberta's Least Liked" campaign, humorously spotlighting untouched, under-visited gems with a tongue-in-cheek video set to sad music and a sobbing moose. The effort won a creative innovation award at the Skift Global Forum and effectively helped spread tourism beyond hotspots, encouraging discovery without overburdening popular destinations. Partnerships and Indigenous Tourism A cornerstone of Alberta's approach is genuine partnership across organizations, sectors, and communities. Travel Alberta's collaboration with Indigenous Tourism Alberta (ITA) stands out as a model. Not only do Travel Alberta and ITA share office space, but their relationship is built on time, trust, and mutual respect. ITA leads in experience development with their members; Travel Alberta amplifies their stories and ensures the right, respectful traveler connects with authentic Indigenous experiences, like the acclaimed Métis Crossing, a boutique hotel and cultural hub on the North Saskatchewan River. This partnership reflects Indigenous values of sustainability, relationship-building, and stewardship, offering a far richer, more transformative experience for visitors.

Welcome to a very special edition of The Travel Diaries, where we're heading to a country that has enchanted so many of my guests over the years: Morocco.This Destination Special is a love letter to a place that casts a lifelong spell. In the first half, you'll hear unforgettable memories from past guests - Sir Michael Palin, Anya Hindmarch, Lyn Hughes, Sir Richard Branson, The Hairy Bikers, Amar Latif, and Jacqui Gifford - each sharing the moments that made Morocco magical for them: the colours of Marrakech, the silence of the Sahara, the scent of a tagine in the Atlas Mountains. Together, their voices weave a vivid tapestry of this extraordinary land.And it's no wonder UK visitor numbers are soaring. Morocco is that rare combination - just a short flight away, yet a complete change of pace: immersive, sensory, unforgettable.Then, in the second half, I'm joined by travel writer and Morocco expert Paula Hardy, who splits her time between the UK and Morocco. With over 15 years of experience, she takes us beyond the usual hotspots, from the Mediterranean feel of Tangier and Tetouan, to desert oases near Skoura, coastal towns like Asilah, and hidden Berber mountain villages. We dive into Morocco's traditions - crafts, cuisine and culture - and its exciting evolution, with high-speed trains, striking new architecture, and preparations for the 2030 World Cup.Whether you've visited before or it's been on your bucket list for years, this episode will open your eyes to a Morocco you may not yet know, and remind you why so many travellers return again and again.Destination Recap: Northern Morocco - Sir Michael Palin on why Morocco is his all-time favourite journeyMarrakech – Designer Anya Hindmarch and Wanderlust editor-in-chief Lyn Hughes on the city of artisans, colour and contrastsAtlas Mountains - Sir Richard Branson, The Hairy Bikers, and blind adventurer Amar Latif on Berber villages, snow-topped peaks and mountain escapesOuarzazate (the “door to the desert”) - Travel & Leisure Editor Jacqui Gifford on this cinematic frontier townPaula's Destination Recap:Tangier Villa Mabrouka, TangierAsilahTetouan Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay Dar Ambrosia, Asilah Mimi Calpe, TangierM'HamidErfoud Iriki Taroudant Dar Ahlam, OuarzazateSkouraMarrakechOualidia Riad Mina, Marrakech Berber Lodge, Marrakech Riad L'Atelier, MarrakechRosemary, Marrakech Tribalista, Marrakech The Memory RoadThanks so much for listening today.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1180: Fresh off a global adventure, Paul and Kyle return with stories from Kazakhstan, a look at why destination fees are climbing faster than car prices, and how Rivian and GM are tightening up their EV operations as the market cools.Destination fees — the unavoidable “shipping” charges tacked onto every new vehicle — are climbing faster than sticker prices. Once a minor line item, these fees have ballooned across brands, marking the steepest industrywide increase in at least a decade as automakers quietly offset rising costs and tariffs.Average destination fees jumped 8.5% for 2025 models, the biggest one-year spike in 10 years, according to Edmunds.Fees have risen 27% since 2021, now averaging $1,549, up from $1,220 just four years ago.Some models saw even sharper hikes — Porsche up 48%, Ford up 39%, Stellantis up 35%.Analysts point to inflation, heavier vehicles, and new tariffs as key cost drivers.“It's another place where they can increase the price without increasing the price,” said Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions.As the EV market cools and cost pressures rise, both Rivian and GM are trimming teams to stay efficient. Rivian's cutting hundreds after the loss of key EV tax credits, while GM is reducing salaried positions tied to design and development as part of a broader restructuring.Rivian is laying off 4.5% of its workforce — about 600 employees — as it consolidates operations in sales, service, and marketing.CEO RJ Scaringe said the move reflects a “changing operating backdrop” as demand softens following the expiration of the $7,500 EV credit.Rivian will continue investing in its next-gen R2 platform to reach a broader market beyond its luxury R1 lineup.GM confirmed more than 200 white-collar job cuts in Detroit, mostly in its design engineering and CAD teams.The automaker is also managing $1.6 billion in EV-related write-downs and tariff costs as it shifts strategy to protect margins amid a slower adoption curve.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:25 More Than Cars just got back from Kazakhstan7:42 Destination Fees Skyrocket On 2025 Models10:33 Rivian Lays Off 600, GM Cuts 200Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I bring together three trailblazers for a candid community conversation about the heart of collaboration in the travel and tourism industry. Joining are Dave Herrell, President and CEO of Visit Quad Cities; Rebecca Mackenzie, President and CEO of the Culinary Tourism Alliance; and Sage Hamilton-Hazarika, Corridor Coordinator for the Underground Railroad Consortium of New York State. Together, we discuss what true collaboration looks like, and the panel explores how putting trust, vulnerability, and outcomes over ego unlocks success not just in visitor numbers, but in cultural pride, reconciliation, and the preservation of stories and identity. My guests share real-life examples of cross-boundary partnerships, from bold destination branding to the creation of transformative culinary and heritage tourism experiences. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why collaboration in tourism is increasingly about trust, vulnerability, and prioritizing outcomes over individual recognition What tangible impacts true collaboration can have, from advancing reconciliation and celebrating cultural heritage to building destination resilience and social pride How Visit Quad Cities strategically collaborates with less resourced organizations to build regional brands and blur the lines between tourism, resident attraction, and economic development Why even small, volunteer-driven organizations can punch above their weight by leveraging partnerships for major projects What “radical collaboration” means to the panelists, and how adopting a mindset of openness and flexibility allows for bold, innovative work How the panelists measure the success of collaborative initiatives with a broader lens  that builds community and legacy Lessons from Destination on the Left's Community Conversation Collaboration isn't just a buzzword—in the travel, tourism, and hospitality industry, it's the engine that powers growth, creativity, and resilience. Drawing on stories from Dave Herrell of Visit Quad Cities, Rebecca Mackenzie of the Culinary Tourism Alliance, and Sage Hamilton-Hazarika of the Underground Railroad Consortium of New York State, this conversation revealed that radical collaboration means far more than sharing resources—it's about trust, vulnerability, and transcending individual mentality. Success in this industry isn't a zero-sum game. Rather than competing, travel professionals thrive when they collaborate, lifting each other up and focusing on shared wins rather than territorialism. Collaboration in Action: Three Inspiring Examples For Dave Herrell, collaboration is built into the DNA of Visit Quad Cities, a regional destination marketing organization spanning 58 communities across two states. Bringing together diverse municipalities, counties, and funding sources demands a strategic approach. Dave described their innovative partnership with the local chamber of commerce to develop unified branding and marketing messages for the region, intentionally blurring the lines between promoting tourism, economic development, and livability. Rebecca Mackenzie painted a picture of taste of place, showcasing how food and drink tell powerful stories about a region's heritage. The Alliance's recent event in Nova Scotia exemplifies radical collaboration: over 12 months, culinary organizations, Indigenous tourism networks, Parks Canada, DMOs, and local operators built an immersive experience intertwining Mi'kmaq history, language, and cuisine. The event attracted visitors outside peak season and fostered social impact and cultural pride. As the sole paid employee in a mostly volunteer-run organization, Sage Hamilton-Hazarika knows firsthand how partnership is essential for small nonprofits punching above their weight. Through collaboration with DMOs, historians, and national heritage areas, the Consortium is developing the Harriet Tubman Scenic Byway, which will connect historic sites across New York and beyond. Radical Collaboration What does “radical collaboration” mean? My guests agreed that it is persistence—the refusal to accept ‘no' as an answer, and the humility to let go of credit and control. It means doing the work, inviting new and unexpected voices to the table, and learning from every opportunity that arises. Measurement of collaborative success must consider social and environmental impacts, not just economic ones. For example, being asked to the table, deepening partnerships, celebrating local cultures, and expanding access are all signs of progress—even if your logo isn't always visible.
