A few weeks ago, Kate Thomas and Whitney enjoyed a friendly dialogue over the time spent on beautifying supplier proposals and how important we feel this is for our businesses. While discussing this topic, we realized there's something more to this, which is likely what's causing the roadblock on anyone switching sides or switching teams on this topic. On today's episode of Masters in Travel, Whitney, Kate Thomas, and Heather Christopher take a step back and dig deeper into what happens before we receive a less than beautiful supplier proposal. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mastersintravel/message

Notes: You get to hear Kate Thomas and I in deep conversation -- complete with creaky chair, and me messing up as Kate teaches me her beautiful song, Go Dark. Do you ever have the experience of being solid on a part, as long as the leader is singing it, but then when they leave to teach another part, you lose it? You'll hear me doing just that! :) We talk about building a bank of nourishing words for hard times -- and Kate shares a story about something that shook her certainty and ease with life, and how that made her vow not to judge people. She observes how giving time and a safe place to make mistakes makes it possible for most people to learn to sing, like almost all people learn to drive eventually. And then there's the handpan, and learning Arabic, and... I guess you'll just need to listen in! Songwriter Info: Kate Thomas is a singer, song leader, songwriter and instrumentalist (guitar, piano and handpan) and has been leading singing groups in Sheffield for over 20 years.

Heather Christopher is the owner of Heather Christopher Travel Consulting; co-owner of Travel Pro Theory; and co-founder of Wanderlust Wedding Co. Through Travel Pro Theory's eponymous podcast, Christopher (alongside co-host Kate Thomas of FIT operator North & Leisure) dives deep into important business topics such as “graduating” clients, charging service fees and more. It's clear that Christopher is endlessly passionate about the travel industry — particularly as it pertains to her fellow travel advisors.   In this episode of Humans of Travel, Christopher reveals how losing her father at a young age influenced her decision to enter the industry as an advisor. She also discusses how the advisor industry has evolved throughout her 14-year tenure thus far — particularly compared to when she was the youngest in the room — and what she believes are its major pain points (hint: the lack of a barrier to entry and marginal education).  RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Heather Christopher's Instagram: www.instagram.com/heatherchristophertravel  Heather Christopher Travel Consulting: www.heatherchristophertravel.com   Travel Pro Theory: www.travelprotheory.com  Wanderlust Wedding Co.: www.wanderlustwedco.com ABOUT YOUR HOST  Emma Weissmann is the Managing Editor of TravelAge West, a print magazine and website for travel advisors based in the Western U.S. She is also the co-host of Trade Secrets, a podcast created with sister publication Travel Weekly. TravelAge West also produces national trade publications Explorer and Family Getaways, as well as events including the Future Leaders in Travel Retreat, Global Travel Marketplace West, the WAVE Awards gala and the Napa Valley Leadership Forum.  ABOUT THE SHOW  TravelAge West's podcast, “Humans of Travel,” features conversations with exceptional people who have compelling stories to tell.

Notes: "Be Yourself" was written for 'Body of Sound', a women's group that Kate Thomas leads, for a residential at Laurieston Hall in Scotland which has a lovely open fire. Can you imagine joining with friends around a fire and singing this to each other? And sometimes, I swear, I find myself singing it to just myself (or my many selves???), welcoming all of them around the fire -- the part of me that's anxious, the part that's grouchy, the part that is confident, the part that's flamboyant -- shall I go on? I definitely have enough for a campfire gathering of my own -- but I'll grant you that it's even better if you're gathering with others!

Video Here's the video version of our conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUd8s4b-zgU Podcast intro transcript This is the Content Strategy Insights podcast, episode number 117. The benefits of structured content are now well known: improved consistency, the ability to scale, quicker content delivery, more governable content operations, efficient localization of content for other countries and cultures. But even the most progressive and successful companies are still working to fully adopt this important content practice. In this interview, Kate Thomas shares insights that she has gleaned as they've structured the marketing content at PayPal. Interview transcript Larry: Hi, everyone. Welcome to episode number 117 of the Content Strategy Insights Podcast. I am really happy today to have with us, Kate Thomas. Kate is a content architect at PayPal, and she's working on some really interesting structured content and CMS work there. So welcome, Kate. Tell the folks a little bit more about what you're up to these days. Kate: Hi, Larry. Thanks for having me. Yes, at PayPal we've been working for the past couple of years on moving all the marketing content on paypal.com from hand coded, handcrafted pages into a structured content framework delivered in a headless CMS. Larry: Nice. And so have you been involved from the very start with that? Is it kind of your baby, this project, or? Kate: Kind of my baby in the sense that I was asked to work on it and I thought, well, that's now my baby. It's someone else bigger baby, but I'm the midwife, I suppose, of the content model in a way. So we had new management come in and head up paypal.com. When you look at paypal.com, there's lots of things going on. So when I'm talking about it, all I'm talking about is the marketing content. So on paypal.com you can also get help content, you can get legal content and there's a whole lot of campaign pages that you know exist but they're sort of outside of the core marketing pages. So the first thing is to qualify we're talking about the core content that we deliver in marketing. Kate: And management change, sort of the person in charge of .

As a travel advisor, planning fully customized FIT itineraries is a trip design style that fuels the passion of so many of us. It seems simple enough upfront because for most of us, we were planning every detail of our own travels prior to starting our travel business. So it shouldn't be too much of a challenge to transition into the world of FIT trip design as a professional travel advisor. Right? It's only after you dive into the deep end of FIT itinerary design that you realize, no matter the experience we had prior to starting our travel businesses, there's so much to learn. There are so many moving parts and there are so many questions that we never knew we had. On this episode of Masters in Travel, Whitney is joined by Kate Thomas, Owner of North & Leisure Travel to discuss uncovering the iceberg that is FIT itinerary design. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mastersintravel/message

There is a saying that someone is "eagle-eyed" if they spot minute details - and if I asked you to name an animal with good eyesight, you'd probably think of an owl or an eagle. But in this episode we'll hear that the largest relative eye size of any vertebrate is found in an entirely different group of animals - frogs and toads. Kate Thomas, who is a postdoctoral researcher at the Natural History Museum in London, surveyed eye size in hundreds of frogs and toads and asked how eye size has evolved in this diverse group. Why do frogs and toads have such large eyes? How does eye size affect vision in the first place? And did you know that many frogs can see colors in the dark?

Stories of organised crime, gender and power in Europe shines a light on the 'discarded footnotes' of organised crime, in other words, the women. A creative graphic narrative that tells the stories of five young women involved in different forms of criminal organisations and activities in Europe thanks to the original research of Felia Allum and the unique drawings of Anna Mitchell. This book not only raises vital questions about the importance of gender when analysing organised crime but also gives a voice to these women to show that they are not purely victims but also have their own agency. It questions the dominant lens so far used to investigate, collect, prosecute and analyse organised crime that focuses solely on the men. It is time for things to change. A talk by Felia Allum, Dr. Frederik Byrn Køhlert, Dr Kate Thomas and Brittany VandeBerg Gilmer Polis, University of Bath, University of East Anglia, Birmingham City University and University of Alabama This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Involved in the game community for the past two years, he says he’s more of an “abstract creative” than a programmer.

Cullen Dwyer, lead programmer of Cowboy Color Studio, had only recently moved to Eugene when he partnered with Brady to develop "Charge Shot." Kate Thomas, producer and co-founder at Portland-based Beardo Games, developed "Smooth Operator" with programmer Chris Harback and artist Miles Neilson. The trio prototyped the game where you compete to be the better kisser for the Ludum Dare global game jam in 2013. Damon Slye is one of the godfathers of the Eugene gaming community.

Currently he’s developing an online multi-player fantasy game called "Villagers & Heroes" that emphasizes social interactivity. Mad Otter has also acquired the rights to "Red Baron" and is planning a reboot.Plus a cast of hundreds of gleeful developers, players, and others who wandered through Lane Community College's downtown campus in Eugene that day.

Former Marine Officer and current professor, Dr. Kate Hendricks Thomas shares valuable lessons from her journey into the world of leading in the mostly male-dominated U.S. Marine Corps environment. Watch for three themes in this show: Challenges facing new leaders. Challenges facing female leaders. Challenges facing veterans returning from combat-like conditions. Our discussion weaves in and out of all three themes providing priceless leadership insight for anyone facing a demanding leadership role. Dr. Thomas is a professor of Health Promotion at Charleston Southern University.  She is a former Marine Officer, a fitness professional, and the author of Brave, Strong, True: The Modern Warrior’s Battle for Balance. Leaders247.com highly encourages listeners to read her book. Men and women who return from combat and war-like situations deal with scarring and debilitating mental and emotional issues that most people cannot conceive. But, Veteran or not; or related to a Veteran or not; this book provides deep insight into successfully navigating, and then healing from intense and traumatic situations. Every leader should know this content. We are pleased to present Dr. Kate Thomas on our Leaders247 podcast series.

Go Go Fish: What started out as a new project between self-confessed music geeks Scott Mercer & Ash Shanahan in 2011, has blossomed into a harmonious four-piece garage-pop outfit that goes by the name of ‘Go Go Fish’, adding Angela Hibbard and Murray Bowler to the fold a year later to fill out their desired sound. Sighting Sonic Youth as an influence, which you’ll get to sample in this particular set, they also wear the sound of other Brisbane pop-rock bands such as Iron On and Screamfeeder on their collective sleeves. They’ve just released their second EP, titled ‘If I Go Down I’m Taking You With Me’. It will also be their last release, as some of the members will be jetting off overseas to pursue other endeavors. But thou shall not be sad, but shall celebrate the incredible sounds of Go Go Fish. Recorded and mixed by Branko Cosic. Recorded at the Greenslopes Bowls Club as part of the Sonic Masala festival on the 14th of March, 2015. Spirit Bunny: Spirit Bunny are a relatively new group that formed in 2013 and have already started catching the attention of numerous blogs and have even had their music featured in a documentary. Not bad for a group in its infancy. The 3 members of the band, Kate Thomas, Cameron Smith and Joel Saunders, create a sound that is dance-worthy, but not as you’d expect. Armed with a drum kit and two Commodore 64’s using music software from the 80’s, certain key commands trigger musical notes that evoke 8-bit emotions and cold distorted melodies with bombastic drum hits, Spirit Bunny are a group that must be seen to be believed. Recorded by Branko Cosic. Mixed by Cameron Smith. Recorded at The Waiting Room on the 13th of September, 2014. Airing details: Originally via Zed Digital, 8-9pm, Friday 20 March 2015. Show production and engineering: Branko Cosic.
