Case Lawrence is the founder of CircusTrix. After helping shape the trampoline park category through early growth and major consolidation, he helped unify CircusTrix, Sky Zone, and Rockin' Jump under the Sky Zone brand, navigating adversity including COVID and the long work of integration. He later stepped away from day-to-day leadership and brought his hard-won lessons into the classroom, teaching entrepreneurship at the BYU Marriott School of Business, which also helped him translate years of stories into principles for new experience builders. Case's new book, Off the Ground, chronicles his journey in entrepreneurship and the trampoline park industry. In this interview, Case talks about the power of relationships, joy-based entrepreneurship, and influencer-based experiences The power of relationships “One of the key things I learned is the power of relationships.” Case frames Sky Zone's evolution as proof that big outcomes are rarely just the result of strategy on paper. He points to the trust between Jeff and Rick Platt, along with himself, as the glue that held a shared vision together through adversity, saying the three leaders “became partners in every true sense of the word” and stayed unified when outside forces could have splintered the effort. He also pulls the lens closer to the human side of deals, noting that founders bring emotion, identity, and fear into negotiations. “To really get a complicated deal done, especially these big mergers, you've got to delve into the human side.” For him, the win is not only the transaction, but building enough credibility and empathy that everyone can cross the finish line feeling respected and secure. Joy-based entrepreneurship “Most discretionary dollars now are in search of experience. They're in search of joy.” Case explains that entrepreneurship education has long centered on solving pain, but entertainment and attractions thrive on creating something people choose because it elevates their day. He argues we're entering a moment where the market is hungry for “heightened experience,” and that demands a new set of tools for identifying and building ideas rooted in delight, not frustration. He connects this to how experiences are becoming more accessible to create, pointing to trampoline parks as a breakthrough that proved you can deliver “outlier, non-everyday experiences with limited capital.” That shift unleashes imagination, invites more founders into the space, and sets the stage for the next wave of innovation, especially as tech-enabled experiences expand what's possible. Influencer-based experiences “Look to YouTube, look to the influencers, look what the young people are watching on TV now.” Case predicts that what audiences binge online will increasingly become what they demand in-person. He describes influencers as experience designers in public, building appetite through episodic “wild experiences” that viewers will soon want to participate in, not just watch. In his words, “the merging of influencer culture with FEC attractions is going to be big.” He also highlights the operational artistry required to translate entertainment into something guests can actually do. Using Ninja Warrior as an example, he notes that the job is to make it feel authentic while adjusting it for real people: “allow them to feel like they're participating in this authentically, but dumb it down, ease it down in a way that they can participate in it… and make them feel like a Ninja Warrior.”   Case says Off the Ground is available for pre-order now on Amazon, and will be publicly available on January 20th, 2026.

As 2025 comes to a close, we're stepping back from individual destinations to reflect on how we traveled this year, and how that is starting to shift everything for us. From revisiting familiar places in new ways to discovering hidden regions, connecting deeply with locals, and saying yes to moments we almost skipped, this episode is about travel moments and experiences that stay with you long after the trip ends. Instead of chasing checklists, we focused on connection, curiosity, and slowing down, and those choices led to some of our most meaningful travel moments yet. Some links are affiliate links.

In this episode of Founder Talk, I sit down with Ryan Walsh, a drone industry veteran operating at the intersection of advanced technology, regulation, and global competition. We dive into what it really takes to build a tech company in heavily regulated industries, how drone innovation fell behind in the U.S., and what the growing conversation around UAPs reveals about advanced aerospace technology and how little the public actually understands about it.Ryan shares firsthand perspective from operating across global markets, including why Asia moved faster in drone adoption, how regulation shapes innovation more than founders expect, and what it really means to build hardware businesses where timelines and risk look very different from software. We also talk about the long, uncomfortable middle of entrepreneurship: sunk costs, delayed momentum, and the discipline required to keep going when results aren't immediate.We also explore the growing conversation around UAPs and what it reveals about how new technologies are misunderstood long before they're accepted. Ryan offers a grounded take on why many UAP sightings are likely tied to advanced aerospace and drone technology, and what that disconnect teaches founders about perception, narrative, and trust.You'll learn:✅ Why regulation and policy often matter more than the technology itself✅ How founders decide when to persist versus walk away✅ What drones, robotics, and AI signal about the future of logistics✅ Why UAP discussions highlight how society misunderstands new tech✅ How patience, discipline, and mission compound over timeIf you're building anything complex, regulated, or capital-intensive, this episode offers an honest look at the realities most founders never hear about.Connect with Ryan WalshGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan--walsh/Guest Website: https://www.valqari.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

Universal Destinations & Experiences has begun early planning for a theme park in Saudi Arabia, according to an exclusive Wall Street Journal report. The project would be structured as a licensing deal with government-backed funding—the same model Disney announced for its Abu Dhabi park.This marks Universal's second attempt in the region. In 2008, the company broke ground on Universal Studios Dubailand, but the project stalled after constructing little more than an entrance arch when financing collapsed during the global financial crisis.For Universal—fresh off the opening of Epic Universe, with Universal Kids Resort (Texas) and a UK park in development—a Middle East licensing deal would establish a presence without capital risk. The licensing model solves multiple problems simultaneously. It generates immediate revenue, provides access to the region's growing tourism market, and avoids the extended profitability timelines that characterize parks Universal builds itself. The structure mirrors successful UAE projects at Yas Island, where SeaWorld, Ferrari World, and Warner Bros. World all operate under licensing or joint venture agreements with government-backed developers.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

In "Via Francigena: Slow Travel, History, and Self-Discovery on Foot," host Annie Sargent chats with Olivier Andrieu about his incredible 100-day journey along the Via Francigena. Olivier, a former corporate sales director, decided to quit his job and walk from Canterbury, England, to Rome, Italy. He wanted a fresh start and a challenge, and the Via Francigena provided both. Listen to this episode ad-free Olivier shares the highs and lows of his adventure. He walked an average of 25 kilometers per day, staying in convents, monasteries, and Airbnbs along the way. He met people from all over the world, discovered hidden historical gems, and immersed himself in the beauty of slow travel. Olivier's journey took him through England, France, Switzerland, and Italy, offering a rich tapestry of landscapes and cultures. One of the highlights of Olivier's journey was the historical discoveries he made. He learned about a young World War I soldier whose name was engraved in a church near his home. He visited the statue of Rodin in Calais and discovered convents just an hour's drive from his home that he had never seen before. These discoveries added depth and meaning to his journey, connecting him to the history and culture of the places he visited. Annie and Olivier also discuss practical tips for anyone considering a similar journey. Olivier recommends a 35-liter backpack and high-quality gear. He used Akileine Nok cream to prevent blisters and had minimal injuries throughout his journey. His packing tips and advice on finding accommodations are invaluable for anyone planning a long-distance walk. In the magazine segment, Annie critiques The New York Times' "36 Hours in Toulouse" article, emphasizing the importance of experiencing the city beyond a quick checklist. She also dives into the intricate work behind Paris's Christmas windows and updates listeners on the success of free-flow tolling on the A13 motorway.

Souhail also shares leadership insights on global messaging, community-driven growth, and focusing relentlessly on user experience over tools or tactics to drive long-term revenue and advocacy in modern fast-moving marketing environments.

WOMEN OF COMMERCE AND THE FRONTIER Colleague Emma Southon. We meet Julia Felix, a Pompeianentrepreneur who ran a luxury bath and dining complex, offering "bougie" experiences to the middle class before dying in the Vesuvius eruption. The discussion shifts to Vindolanda in Britain, where letters between Sulpicia Lepidina and Claudia Severa reveal a vibrant social life for women in military forts, including birthday parties and domestic luxuries like wild swan and imported wine.

Abby and Patrick welcome psychoanalyst and clinical social worker Brian Ngo-Smith for a conversation about one of the most difficult but powerful concepts in psychoanalytic theory: projective identification. A notion that demands simultaneously thinking about infantile development and adult behaviors, normal defenses and pathological patterns, the idea of projective identification captures an essential dimension of all kinds of interpersonal relationships – but it also throws some of our most basic assumptions about the distinction between self and other into question. In the first of a two-part series, Brian, Abby, and Patrick unpack the concept of projective identification, setting it in historical context, and considering it from a variety of perspectives. They explore topics including classical Freudian versus object relations approaches to development; the works of Melanie Klein and Wilfred Bion; the defense mechanisms in general and ideas of projection and introjection specifically; projective identification in therapy, romantic partnerships, and professional life; and more. In part II, which comes out next Saturday, Brian, Abby, and Patrick put the idea of projective identification to work in considering group behavior, institutional cultures, and politics.Texts cited:Melanie Klein, “Notes on Some Schizoid Mechanisms” Wilfred Bion, Experiences in GroupsTeresa Brennan, The Transmission of Affect Nancy McWilliams, Psychoanalytic Diagnosis: Understanding Personality Structure in the Clinical ProcessJL Mitrani, “'Taking the transference': Some technical implications in three papers by Bion”Anna Freud, The Ego and the Mechanisms of DefenseJerome Blackman, 101 Defenses: How the Mind Shields ItselfMore about Brian at https://ngosmiththerapy.com/ and https://ngosmithconsulting.comOur previous episode with Brian, “Hate, Help, and Housing: Psychoanalysis and Social Work”: https://ordinaryunhappiness.buzzsprout.com/2131830/episodes/14213981-36-hate-help-and-housing-psychoanalysis-and-social-work-feat-brian-ngo-smithHave you noticed that Freud is back?

Born in Faridabad, North India, Surabhi Ahuja has been on a profound spiritual journey for almost ten years. Her awakening began through the experience of hypnobirthing with her first born, which opened her awareness to the power of the mind–body connection and her own energetic depth. Much of her evolution since then has unfolded through her physical body. Experiences such as an ectopic pregnancy, hypothyroidism, chronic allergies, postpartum depression, debilitating sports injuries and a diagnosis of cancer in 2024, became catalysts for transformation rather than setbacks.  With each diagnosis, Surabhi chose not to accept the limited perspectives offered by family, society, or the medical system. Instead, she forged her own path—breaking norms and bridging the seen and unseen worlds.Today, she is not defined by her cancer journey or any illness. She stands tallJoin us as Surabhi shares….How her spiritual journey expresses through her physical bodyHer very raw and real experience of being diagnosed with aggressive and advanced cancerHer process of regaining self-advocacy, and constantly choosing life, love and health. We talk about the best ways to support a loved one on a cancer journey (and what not to say), Surabhi's beautiful conscious connection with the Divine and how she knows when the Divine is speaking with herHer go-to practices to stay grounded, in harmony and healSurabhi's YouTube channel: Healing with Surabhi:https://youtube.com/@healingwithsurabhi?si=jPVnCCUYHK_m-tEQReading Surabhi recommends:Biology of belief by Bruce Lipton Dying to be me by Anita MoorjaniRadical Remission by Kelly A TurnerPower of now Eckhart TolleUntethered Soul by Micheal A SingerAnd if your spirit is stirred by these amazing conversations, don't forget to like, subscribe and leave a review - so more people can find their way to The Modern Crone.

Happy holidays once again! This is being aired the day after Christmas, or on Boxing Day for those who are in places that do a thing called Boxing Day. I guess it has something to do with giving boxes, or having boxes, or maybe relatives boxing one another after spending time together over the holidays. Whatever it is, hope you have a happy one. The actual origins, according to Wikipedia, seems to be around the mid 1700s when “traditionally on this day tradespeople, employees, etc., would receive presents or gratuities (a ‘Christmas box') from their customers or employers.” So maybe one of the earlier manifestations of customer and employee experience. One of the things that I love about doing experience design is how relatively small things can make someone feel like a superhero. Little acts of experience design can make a big difference in people's days and even their lives. And isn't that what it is all about, including the holidays? Whatever you believe or don't believe regarding the holidays, being mindful of extending small acts of kindness or doing something that is relatively simple to make a huge impact. Which is a perfect thing to keep in mind for our show today. My guest on Experience by Design is Erika Sinner. Erika brings a lot of compassion and empathy to the world. In fact, she prefers the title of Chief Empathy Officer. Her book Pets are Family emphasizes the importance of pet bereavement policies in organizations. This is just one part of her efforts to bring more empathy to the workplace. She also is the CEO and Founder of Directorie, “a(n) agency that connects seasoned commercial, marketing, and market access experts” with organizations that are under-resourced and overworked. If that wasn't enough, she now is the Chief Empathy Officer of Tiny Super Heroes, which makes children who are facing unique medical challenges to feel like the superheroes that they are. As their website states, “We're setting out to transform hospital culture - one hospital at a time - because every child's clinical journey should be filled with strength, hope, and a little more fun.”As part of Tiny Super Heroes, children get their own superhero capes and get badges to mark the medical treatments they receive as well as other accomplishments. It is all at no cost, and made possible through the donations of individuals and organizations, and aims to reach all 226 children's hospitals in the country.We talk about Erika's personal journey and struggles that led her to her work as a founder Directorie and now CEO of Tiny Super Heroes. We also talk about the importance of play in the workplace as a way of creating a sense of safety and trust. Talking about culture as a leader isn't enough; leaders need to take the necessary steps to create a place where employees don't dread Sunday nights because they have to go to work on Monday. She discusses the importance of company culture and employee commitment in attracting top talent, especially for Gen Z and Gen Alpha who prioritize making a difference.Erika discusses the positive impact of the Tiny Super Heroes program on children with medical conditions, highlighting how it helps reduce anxiety and improve clinical outcomes by transforming medical experiences into fun missions. The program has online support groups for parents, which currently have around 60,000 members. Healthcare providers also benefit from the program by creating a more positive and playful environment in hospitals. In this way, it is really an experience design that impacts the healthcare ecosystem.So on this Boxing Day, you can listen to this episode and head over to the Tiny Super Heroes website to give a gift that can make all the difference.Erika Sinner: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikasinner/Erika Sinner Website: https://www.erikasinner.org/“Pets are Family” Book: https://www.erikasinner.org/for-bookstoreDirectorie: https://www.directorie.com/Tiny Super Heroes: https://tinysuperheroes.com/

348: Holiday Rewind: 4 Ways to Advance Your Nonprofit LeadershipWhat are you doing - intentionally - to move closer to your nonprofit leadership goals?In this Holiday Rewind of solo episode #159, Patton revisits four practical, evergreen ways nonprofit leaders can reflect, refocus, and move forward in their leadership journey. Whether you're early in your career, preparing for your next step, or refining your impact as a senior leader, these four elements provide a simple framework for year-end reflection and year-ahead momentum.Special thanks to our friends from TowneBank and Armstrong McGuire for supporting this podcast on its way to 350 Episodes next month!The Four Elements1. Sharpen Your Vision Framework. Clarity fuels progress. Revisit where you want to be in three to five years and define the kind of leader you want to become, not just the title you want to hold. A clear vision helps you evaluate opportunities, say no with confidence, and align daily work with long-term goals.2. Practice Self-Assessment. Growth starts with honest reflection. Regularly assess your strengths, skill gaps, leadership style, and readiness for greater responsibility. Seek feedback, reflect on recent experiences, and use that insight to guide your development priorities.  There were 10 Skills back in Episode #159, but the Mastermind Program now features 12!3. Utilize Strategic Networking. Relationships don't happen by accident. Be intentional about building a diverse network of peers, mentors, and sponsors who can challenge your thinking, open doors, and support your growth. Strategic networking is about mutual value, not transactions.4. Curate Knowledge. You don't need to know everything, but you do need to keep learning. Be selective about the books, podcasts, conferences, and conversations that shape your thinking. Curated learning keeps you relevant, reflective, and ready for what's next.About PattonPatton McDowell is a nonprofit leadership coach, consultant, author, and podcast host with more than 30 years of experience helping leaders and organizations thrive.

Jeremy Keil weighs the opportunities and risks associated with giving your money away to your kids and charity. Most retirees I talk with don't worry about whether they can give money away.They worry about whether they should. When you've worked hard, saved diligently, and reached a point where you have more than you need, a new question quietly creeps in:What's the purpose of the extra? In this episode of Retire Today, I walk through what I see every day in real retirement plans — the good, the bad, and the unintended consequences of giving money to kids and to charity. Because while giving can be deeply meaningful, it can also backfire if it's not done intentionally. Giving to Kids: Blessing or Burden? When it comes to kids, I hear two very common philosophies. One group says, “I'm not trying to leave money to my kids. If there's something left, that's fine.”The other says, “I worked hard for this money, and I want to make sure it helps my family.” Both sound reasonable. But what actually happens is often more complicated. In practice, most giving to kids happens by default, not by design — through inheritance. The problem is timing. If you pass away in your 80s or 90s, your kids are likely in their late 50s or 60s. Statistically, that's when incomes and net worth tend to be the highest. In other words, that may be the moment they need your money the least. I've also seen well-intentioned gifts create unintended pressure. Large down payments on homes can raise a child's lifestyle without raising their income — leading to higher expenses, more stress, and sometimes less financial stability. Giving feels generous, but it can quietly shift responsibility away from your kids and onto you. A better rule of thumb?Give in ways that remove a burden, not create one. Education costs, health care needs, or meaningful experiences often help without inflating expectations or expenses. Experiences, especially shared ones, tend to create far more joy — for you and for them — than writing a check and hoping it helps. Giving to Charity: Now, Later, or Both? Charitable giving tends to be more intentional, but still incomplete. Many people plan to leave money to charity someday, yet never think through what that looks like or how it fits into their broader retirement plan. Others give modest amounts each year but leave significant sums later — without ever telling the charities involved. What I've seen repeatedly is this:When people give with intention, their stress goes down and their satisfaction goes up. In fact, people who have clarity around where their money will go often feel lighter — as if a quiet financial worry has been resolved. When charities know they're part of your long-term plan, relationships deepen. You stay informed, feel more connected, and often find joy in seeing the impact of your giving while you're still here. There's also strong evidence that giving makes people happier. Whether happier people give more, or giving makes people happier, may be up for debate — but in practice, generosity consistently shows up alongside fulfillment. The Bigger Question Isn't “How Much?” Most people ask me, “How much can I give?”That's usually the wrong question. The better questions are: Should I give? When should I give? How do I give in a way that actually helps? Giving later through inheritance is easy. Giving earlier — thoughtfully and intentionally — is far more impactful. You get to see the benefit, adjust if needed, and align your money with what matters most to you. In retirement, money isn't just about security.It's about purpose. When giving is done well, it doesn't create regret — it creates meaning. Don't forget to leave a rating for the “Retire Today” podcast if you've been enjoying these episodes!

What if the real problem isn't your work ethic? What if it's that nobody ever taught you how to run a profitable business?   You went into business to make a difference. To take care of your family. To build something that matters. But somewhere along the way, the dream turned into a grind. You're exhausted, stretched thin, and wondering why success still feels so far away.   Sound familiar?   Neeka Williams felt the same way. As the practice administrator for a urology company, she was doing all the "right" things—showing up every day, solving problems, keeping the wheels turning. But she kept asking herself: There has to be more to this, right?   In this episode, Brandon sits down with Neeka to talk about her year inside the Profit Planning Network. This isn't a story about magic formulas or overnight wins. It's about finally having a framework that fits who you actually are—and a community that keeps you accountable to your own goals.   You'll discover: Why most business advice fails entrepreneurs who think differently (and what to do instead) How understanding your "financial archetype" can change the way you plan, save, and grow The one shift that let Neeka walk away from her business for a full week—without anything falling apart Why emotions in business aren't a weakness, but actually a guide to your next move What happens when you stop being embarrassed about needing help and start treating business like the skill it is   Key Quote: "People don't go into business to fail. You go into business to be profitable, to make a positive impact, to pass on a legacy. You just don't know how—and what Wall Street says and what the business gurus say hasn't been working." — Neeka Williams   If you've been feeling like you're running on a hamster wheel and wondering when it gets easier, this conversation is for you.   Resources mentioned: Find Your Flow Quiz — 10 questions to discover your financial personality Financial Nervous System Diagnostic — A deeper 54-question assessment Profit Planning Network 2026 — Join our community of business owners building profitability and wealth Urology Consultants, Inc. — Neeka's practice (and a reminder for the guys to get checked!)   00:00 Welcome to Wealth Wisdom Financial Podcast 01:01 Introducing Neeka Williams and Her Journey 01:41 Joining Profit Planning Network 04:35 Experiences and Insights from PPN 13:12 The Role of AI in Business 19:11 Understanding Emotions in Business 20:36 The Importance of Reflecting on Feelings 21:59 Who is PPN For? 23:08 Balancing Sales and Expenses 25:15 The Value of Certification and Experience 28:48 The Role of Profit Planning 32:11 Encouraging Regular Health Check-ups 34:29 Final Thoughts and Enrollment Information   Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cDBONHEVILA 

We're walking through my favorite purchases from 2025 - both items and experiences - and reflecting on what they reveal about my consumption habits, priorities, and values. We talk through everything from wardrobe upgrades and wellness investments to the things that didn't stand out as much as I expected (and why that matters). I also share how I'm approaching a January no-buy, the spending rules I'm carrying into 2026, and how I'm shifting from constant curation toward intentional refinement.

In this unforgettable episode of I Am Redemption, Lydia Richards opens up like never before.Lydia shares the truth behind her journey through childhood trauma, substance use, mental health struggles, and her experiences working in the sex industry, realities that are far more common than most people realize, yet rarely talked about openly.This conversation is raw, emotional, and unfiltered.
