Chapter 4 of this 6-part CoralTree Customer Journey series focuses on implementation - specifically, how you get property teams to build ideas they actually believe in and want to own. Hotels do not improve the customer journey by accident. They build it through strategy, systems, and execution. This chapter shows what the build process looks like. I talk with Kaitlin Broumpton, Director of Quality and Guest Experience Strategy at CoralTree Hospitality, about workshops, property-level ideation, and how CoralTree helps teams shape locally authentic moments instead of pushing top-down scripts. Here is what we cover: ·        How CoralTree runs workshops to bring the soul of a property to life ·        Why buy-in improves when teams have a seat at the table ·        How they refine ideas without forcing corporate templates ·        How local culture and brand pillars shape guest moments ·        Why the process works across property and regional teams ·        A Seaport Boston example: arrival cards + QR codes by travel motivation Catch up on Chapters 1-3 if you have not yet - this is where the strategy starts turning into property-level plans. Next week: how the guest actually experiences this through real touchpoints. Want to follow the full series and catch any chapters you miss while you're busy?

The Space Show Presents Jim Muncy, Sunday, 3-10-26Quick Summary:Our discussion focused on NASA's Artemis program changes and lunar development strategy, with Jim Muncy discussing NASA Administrator Jared's recent modifications to Artemis missions, including standardizing on the Centaur 5 upper stage and adding an Earth orbit rendezvous mission before lunar landing attempts. The discussion explored how these changes improve odds for a 2028 moon landing, with both HLS providers (SpaceX and Blue Origin) being encouraged to demonstrate their lander systems in Earth orbit by mid-2027. The conversation concluded with a debate about commercial lunar development, where Jim advocated for establishing a commercial lunar base from day one rather than creating a government-built facility, arguing that commercial solutions would drive more economic activity and scientific research on the moon than a government-only approach.Detailed Summary:Jim Muncy discussed NASA Administrator Jared's recent changes to the Artemis program, including the insertion of a lower orbit rendezvous mission, cancellation of the expiration upper stage and second mobile launch platform, and standardization on a commercial Centaur 5 upper stage. The changes aim to accelerate flight rates and challenge Boeing to demonstrate realistic production capabilities to support lunar base development. Jim noted that while SLS may not be the most affordable solution, the modifications have been generally well-received by the space community, with Gateway likely to be repurposed or replaced.Our guest discussed NASA's changes to the Artemis program, highlighting Jared's decision-making process and implementation of new strategies. The discussion covered the cancellation of SLS1D configuration in favor of SLS1A with a new upper stage, as well as plans to accelerate HLS contractors' development without government micromanagement. Jim noted that while SLS manufacturing could potentially be shut down after Artemis 3, the focus remains on achieving sustainable lunar missions rather than specific hardware elements.The group discussed the odds and timeline for a human moon landing in 2028 following recent changes to the Artemis program. Jim expressed optimism about achieving a lunar landing in 2028, citing the potential for one landing attempt with a human landing system (HLS) prototype in early 2028 and another in late 2028, contingent on accelerating the SLS core production rate to one per year. Our discussion highlighted that while SLS hardware is on track, the main bottleneck remains the development of HLS systems and spacesuits, with some participants noting that inserting an additional Artemis mission could both de-risk the process and help accelerate HLS development by setting shorter-term deadlines for the companies involved.Our discussed the importance of making the lunar base commercial from day one, emphasizing the need to avoid the mistakes made with the Space Shuttle and ISS programs. He proposed creating a “Port Authority for the Moon” that would oversee economic development and maximize user participation, rather than having a government-designed lunar base. James argued that infrastructure and services should be commercially provided, with NASA focusing on defining the actual value proposition for human presence on the moon rather than designing and managing infrastructure. The discussion also touched on the potential reuse of Gateway hardware for lunar surface operations and the need to demonstrate mission capabilities beyond just landing on the moon.Jim discussed the challenges of lunar habitation, arguing that commercial systems should be embraced for moon bases similar to those in low Earth orbit. Dallas mentioned reaching out to a former Boeing manager about providing a habitat for commercial use, though Boeing hasn't responded yet. James proposed having an authority act as a market maker to assess demand for lunar habitation capabilities based on input from all potential users. David raised concerns about different interests in lunar development, particularly the gap between academic/scientific and commercial interests, to which Jim responded that a commercial approach would likely lead to more human presence and capabilities on the moon than a government-only approach, citing the potential $50 billion in SpaceX investment capital becoming available later this year.Jim discussed the potential for scientists and entrepreneurs to coexist on the moon, arguing that there is no inherent conflict between science and commerce. He emphasized that growing the total resource base through private investment could benefit science budgets and suggested that scientists should be in charge of their own budgets rather than serving as a “fig leaf” for NASA's engineering programs. Joseph noted that infrastructure could facilitate science funding through grants, similar to other scientific enterprises. David reminded the audience that time was limited for additional questions or comments.We talked about the design of lunar modules, suggesting a collaborative process involving multiple companies and NASA to establish standardized features and potentially granting antitrust exemptions to facilitate industry cooperation. He mentioned that Blue Origin might develop a simplified version of their Blue Moon lander for earlier missions, with iterative improvements leading to more capable versions for lunar landings. James expressed that both SpaceX and Blue Origin have promising paths forward, with mid-2027 as a key milestone for low Earth orbit demonstrations, though he personally believed SpaceX might succeed first due to their earlier start. The discussion also touched on potential military involvement in lunar development and the possibility of commercial activities evolving into orbital data center manufacturing.Muncy discussed his vision for establishing a commercial lunar base where entrepreneurs could test and compete with Earth-launched technologies, particularly orbital data centers. He emphasized the importance of using lunar materials for manufacturing and expressed interest in partnerships between NASA and the nuclear power industry to develop lunar power capabilities. The group also discussed power generation options on the moon, including solar power and nuclear reactors using thorium, with Dallas noting that current power solutions would likely cost around triple digits per kilowatt hour.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Phil Swan, Sunday, 3-15-25The Space Show Presents Phil Swan on Launching Orbital Data Centers from The Moon are ready!Quick Summary:The meeting focused on the feasibility and implications of building data centers on the moon, with Phil Swan as the main speaker discussing the concept and addressing various technical and economic challenges. Participants explored the potential of mass drivers for launching data centers from the moon, the advantages of lunar manufacturing, and the role of nuclear power in supporting such endeavors. The discussion touched on the competition between space-based and Earth-based solutions, regulatory considerations, and the current state of AI companies' involvement in space initiatives. The conversation also highlighted the limitations of current technology and the need for further development in areas like mass drivers, nuclear power, and supply chain logistics.Detailed Summary:Early on we discussed the origin of the term “mass driver,” which was attributed to O'Neill who engineered the concept beyond its initial science fiction depiction in Heinlein's work. Phil Swan, the featured guest, presented a detailed analysis of building data centers on the moon and launching them into orbit using mass drivers, noting the rapid growth of Earth-based data centers and the potential for space-based solutions. The discussion highlighted the technical challenges and opportunities of space-based data centers, with Swan emphasizing the need to critically evaluate the feasibility of such concepts.Phil discussed the potential for moving data centers to space, highlighting the need to rebuild supply chains and the advantages of escaping Earth's regulatory burdens. He emphasized that data centers, as corporate entities, seek survival and growth, considering factors such as resource competition, popularity, and geopolitical risks. He mentioned Elon Musk's point about the continuous sunlight in space, which Phil addressed by explaining the trade-offs of solar panels in space, including decreased efficiency and shorter lifespan due to heat and radiation. Phil concluded that while space-based solar power might not be as cost-effective as Earth-based options, it could still offer advantages for data centers in terms of continuous energy supply.The Space Show Wisdom Team discussed the feasibility and implications of space-based data centers. Phil explained that while Earth-based maintenance requires manual labor, robotic systems could easily handle repairs in space, making satellite breakdowns manageable. He suggested placing data centers in high orbits beyond geosynchronous range, potentially launched from the Moon, to minimize interference with astronomy while optimizing economic and communication benefits. Our guest also outlined the key cost components of data centers, emphasizing that the cost of atom rearrangement (such as refining materials and manufacturing chips) would be similar regardless of location, while the cost of transporting atoms to space could be significant.The group discussed the feasibility of semiconductor manufacturing on the moon, with Phil arguing that while it would be expensive, it's not unrealistic given current advancements in Earth-based facilities. They explored various mass driver technologies, including railguns, coil guns, and screw launch systems, with Phil explaining how these could be optimized for launching satellites from the moon. Marshall added that aircraft carriers already handle acceleration forces of up to 3Gs without issues, suggesting that similar technology could be adapted for lunar launches.The group discussed the technical and logistical challenges of building a mass driver on the Moon, calculating that a 19-kilometer long mass driver would result in approximately 10G acceleration, which Phil confirmed was accurate. Bill raised concerns about launching semiconductor manufacturing equipment from Earth to the Moon, suggesting it might be more cost-effective to make chips on Earth and send them up using SpinLaunch or other rockets. The discussion concluded by proposing that Starship or other proven rockets would be the best option for sending chips to the Moon, while it was noted that SpinLaunch from Earth would face significant drag issues.The team further discussed the potential for establishing a lunar economy focused on data centers, with Phil proposing a model where Earth-based companies miniaturize and adapt manufacturing processes for lunar operations. They explored the possibility of using permanently shadowed craters on the moon for data center cooling, powered by nuclear or thorium reactors, which could provide both unlimited power and cryogenic cooling. The discussion addressed the challenges of latency in data transmission to Earth, with Phil noting that it might not significantly impact many current AI tasks. The point was made for a highlighted need for fiber optic cables to connect the data center components. Bill suggested using a large RTG and a sterling engine for power generation, while it was emphasized the competition from nuclear-powered data centers on Earth using molten salt reactors, which could be more cost-effective and easier to control.The group discussed the feasibility and economics of building data centers on the Moon versus Earth, with Phil arguing that while lunar data centers would be more cost-effective due to mass driver technology, the development timeline could be 30-40 years. They explored various delivery models, including the use of helicopters for remote Earth locations and the potential for nuclear reactors, with others suggesting that Earth-based nuclear data centers could be developed within 5 years. Bill clarified that Elon Musk's proposal involved launching data centers into cislunar space rather than deep space, and Marshall proposed using AI units on the backside of Starlink satellites, though Phil noted that current satellite computing economics don't work out economically due to solar panel efficiency and battery wear issues.The group discussed the regulatory landscape for data centers and AI, with Phil noting that despite concerns, regulatory bodies are unlikely to significantly slow down their development due to the overwhelming benefits. Dr. Kothari shared his perspective on nuclear power solutions, particularly highlighting the potential of thorium-based molten salt reactors as a scalable and cost-effective option for data centers, which he believes could be more attractive to investors. Phil and Ajay also discussed the economic viability of small modular reactors versus larger reactors, with Phil mentioning a video by that suggested smaller reactors might not be as economical. The conversation concluded with Philip emphasizing the uncertainty of future energy technologies and the potential for advancements like zero-point energy or the miniaturization of factories on the moon.The group discussed various energy solutions for data centers emphasizing the potential of thorium-based reactors over space-based solar power or fusion. They explored the logistics of data center production, with Phil suggesting that the location of data center factories would be more influential than energy source choice. The conversation then shifted to mass drivers and spin launch technologies, with John Hunt raising questions about trajectory control and Manuel inquiring about materials used in mass drivers. The discussion concluded with Bill noting that while Musk is knowledgeable about space, many AI companies may lack the necessary space expertise to effectively implement these technologies.The group discussed the current state and future of AI data centers, with Phil explaining that while companies like Nvidia, OpenAI, and Google dominate the market with 60-80% of compute workload, smaller players like Musk and Grok only account for 2%. Bill presented current computer capability metrics showing Google at 27%, OpenAI at 20%, Meta at 15.7%, and others including Anthropic at 9.7%. The discussion concluded with Philip presenting a technical analysis of mass drivers for space-based data centers, emphasizing that space data centers could drive a 50% increase in human civilization's economic scale, and noting his upcoming presentations at ISDC and Ascend in May-June.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

What if your event menu was the most powerful branding tool your destination has? In this episode, Tracy is joined by Erik Wolf, Founder and Executive Director of the World Food Travel Association and the pioneer behind the global "Taste of Place" movement. We talk about why food and beverage should no longer be treated as a banquet line item—but as the way destinations, hotels, and convention centers express identity, protect culture, and drive measurable economic impact. Erik shares insights from the 2026 Taste of Place Report and explains how culinary heritage, terroir, ethical eating, and storytelling are reshaping tourism—and what that means for meetings and events. If you're a: • Destination marketing organization trying to differentiate your city • Hotel or convention center leader looking to move beyond generic banquet menus • Event planner wanting your program to actually reflect where it's hosted This conversation will challenge how you think about menu design, sourcing, storytelling, and guest engagement. Because when attendees travel for a conference, they don't just want to learn. They want to understand where they are. And sometimes, the fastest way to create a sense of place… is through what's on the plate.

Andrew and Megan chose Gettysburg for a quiet weekend.They had been living in different states for months, meeting halfway whenever they could just to spend a little time together. Gettysburg felt like the perfect place—historic, quiet in the off-season, and far from the crowds that usually fill the town.They spent the day walking the battlefield under a gray sky and joined one of the town's ghost tours that evening.Nothing strange happened.

We're headed overseas to Sète a small coastal town in the South of France, “the Little Venice of Languedoc.” A ville known for Octopus Pie, Georges Brassens, and some interesting history (pretty famous anarchist lived there) for such a young European town. My hometown of Albany, NY (1686) is nearly as old as Sète (1666). Very neat.So my twin was recently in Sète and was wonderful enough to bring my microphone (my mic has now been to cooler places than me). The microphone was positioned just outside of her hotel room window and takes in the quiet coastal surroundings with intermittent fan noises. I guess over there they call their HVAC “la clim” — essentially a PTAC (I think? I don't know much about HVAC).You don't know how geeked I am for French fans! I hope y'all enjoy and maybe find some peace (if only for a few).

The Flamingo Hotel and Casino is a Las Vegas icon, known for its lush outdoor wildlife habitat and its namesake pink residents. But at 5:00 a.m. on March 3, 2026, surveillance cameras captured a scene that was far from a tourist attraction. 33-year-old Mitchell Fairbarn allegedly breached the habitat, resulting in a terrifying ordeal for a flamingo named "Peachy." --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

Tara exposes how the Biden administration has been spending taxpayer dollars on food and hotel accommodations for illegal immigrants in New York City. From catered meals delivered to hotel rooms to massive security bills, this episode compares these expenditures with the outrage over lobster and steak served to U.S. troops, highlighting the double standard in government spending priorities. Episode Summary: In today's episode, Tara dives into a Judicial Watch report uncovering how the federal government spent nearly $600,000 per week on meals for illegal immigrants in NYC hotel housing. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were hand-delivered to rooms, with security costs adding millions more. The redacted FOIA documents suggest the food quality was intentionally kept secret, fueling speculation that nothing was spared. Tara contrasts this with outrage over Pete Hegseth serving lobster and steak to U.S. troops—meals meant to reward those risking their lives. While Democrats criticized the military spending, they appear unconcerned with lavish taxpayer-funded services for illegal immigrants. The episode also touches on historical precedent, showing that past administrations, from Clinton to Trump, provided special meals to troops. Through this lens, Tara examines the broader implications of spending priorities, political incentives, and media coverage, raising questions about fairness and the use of taxpayer money. Key Topics Covered: Judicial Watch FOIA findings on NYC illegal immigrant meals $583,000 per week spent on breakfast, lunch, and dinner deliveries $3 million spent on hotel security for eight weeks Redactions hiding the details of food served Comparison with lobster and steak served to U.S. troops Political and media double standards on government spending Who's getting lobster, steak, and $600K weekly meals in NYC?

[video available on spotify] i was on youtube a couple weeks ago looking up modern dating advice, and a buzzword that kept coming up was detachment. at first i kind of ignored it because i was like, that's obviously toxic, just based on my vague knowledge of what it means to be detached. but then i played a video about detachment in love, and to be honest, it has been incredibly helpful to me. so that's what we're gonna dig into today.

The final hour of Evan & Tiki dives into a fascinating NFL free-agency wrinkle involving Kyler Murray.

Could the New York Jets be one of those teams planning ahead for their next franchise QB? Evan and Tiki break down the unusual strategy, why Murray might push for a no-tag clause, and which teams could realistically be looking for a quarterback two years from now.

Chapter 3 of this 6-part CoralTree Customer Journey series moves into the framework itself: how you create consistency across very different hotels without turning everything into cookie-cutter service. Customer journey work only matters if it improves operations, guest loyalty, and results. This chapter gets into the structure behind that. I talk with Andre Fournier, Chief Commercial Officer at CoralTree Hospitality, about Standards of Care, touchpoints from booking to departure, and how service rankings can influence ADR and consideration. Here is what we cover: ·        How CoralTree builds one service framework across different asset types ·        Why the goal is consistency of care, not identical experiences ·        Touchpoints from website/reservations to arrival, stay, and departure ·        Why each property still needs to feel authentic and of the place ·        Andre's filter: true, meaningful, and distinctive ·        How guest service rankings can support ADR and consideration set If you missed Chapters 1 and 2, go back first - this framework makes more sense once you've heard the strategy and people side. Next week: how CoralTree workshops these ideas with property teams. Want to follow the full series and catch any chapters you miss while it rolls out?
