On this episode, I dive into an enlightening conversation with Ryan Rael, a certified customer experience strategist and founder of Tight Ship CX. We explore how businesses can elevate their customer experience by streamlining operations and optimizing customer journeys while leveraging the right technology.  Ryan details the importance of customer feedback and technology in shaping exceptional customer journeys. He emphasizes how the blend of innovation from small businesses and the structured processes of corporate environments can create powerful strategies for growth and improved customer loyalty. Throughout our discussion, Ryan highlights the importance of understanding the connections between operational efficiency and customer satisfaction, asserting that businesses often overlook the impact their internal processes have on customer experiences. We address the common misconceptions businesses have about customer experience being a cost center, and Ryan provides concrete strategies for shifting this perspective. By identifying quick wins—such as obtaining feedback through accessible tech or refining response times—business leaders can demonstrate the direct relationship between customer experience enhancements and revenue growth. Ryan emphasizes the need for organizations to move beyond a transactional mindset and to foster deeper, relationship-oriented customer interactions that underpin long-term loyalty. A crucial point is the role of effective communication in customer experience. Ryan advocates for closing the feedback loop with customers, explaining that it's essential not just to gather insights but also to inform customers about changes made as a result of their feedback. This creates a sense of respect and value in the customer relationship, enriching their overall experience with the brand. Ryan reveals the initial step he takes with new clients: conducting a customer experience audit, giving a comprehensive view of the customer journey, to highlight key areas for improvement. Utilizing this holistic evaluation, businesses can gain clarity on customer touchpoints and uncover opportunities for impactful changes. The episode is a treasure trove of practical strategies and insights for any business leader to create truly customer-centric cultures.   Ryan's Contact Information: Website: TightShip Cx LinkedIn: @ryan-rael-ccxp   Tacey's Contact Information: Website: taceyatkinson.com All Socials: @TaceyAtkinson   Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to having more valuable conversations together in the future.

This week, I'm diving into one of my favorite Disney-inspired quotes: “All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust.” While whimsical on the surface, this quote beautifully reflects a grounded framework for powerful leadership. I explore how each ingredient—faith, trust, and pixie dust—aligns with the three keys to Leadership Magic: confidence, connection, and character. Together, they form a roadmap for leading with belief in yourself, building meaningful relationships, and staying anchored in self-awareness. Tune in and discover where you might need a little more faith, how to deepen trust, and why self-awareness truly is your pixie dust. Enjoy!

I've long admired Salt Hotels — their properties, their presence, their ability to make the familiar feel completely new. So when I had the chance to sit down with David Bowd, the visionary behind the brand, I knew we were in for something special. David's story begins not in a boardroom or luxury suite, but in a small café his mother bought when he was a kid. It was there he discovered the energy of hospitality — the joy in unpredictability, the beauty of serving others, and the sense of belonging that would later shape his career. We talk about his time working with icons like Ian Schrager and André Balazs, and the lessons in creativity, precision, and obsession with detail that would ultimately inspire Salt Hotels — a brand built on the belief that boutique doesn't have to mean formulaic, and luxury doesn't have to be loud. In this episode, David shares the founding story of Salt, how he balances growth without losing soul, why the future of business travel is more boutique than we think, and how AI might just make hospitality more human.This is a conversation about craft, partnership, legacy — and why every single chair, playlist, and pet fee at Salt Hotels is intentional.

There's a a lot to be enraged about right now. People in power are making dangerous and hateful decisions. The planet is getting hotter and it can feel really hard to stay hopeful. And yet, we must. We must remain hopeful through choosing joy, simple, pure moments of unadulterated goodness. Joy is not the same thing as happiness. Happiness is often dependent on external circumstances, so it's more fleeting in nature. Joy, on the other hand, is deeper and more enduring. Even when life feels heavy, we can find joy in a sunset, a shared moment of laughter, a hot (or cold) cup of coffee, a cuddle with a furry friend, a dance in the rain… Joy is not a privilege, it's a necessity if we want to keep showing up. It's the salve we need to keep going. As we walk through the sticky heat, consider how you'll invite joy into your life today. What am I reading?The Woodsmoke Women's Book of Spells by Rachel Greenlaw https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780063378254A Spell in the Wild by Alice Tarbuckhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781529380866https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?I Got You by Split EnzWhat's for dinner?Spinach Strawberry Salad Ingredients:Balsamic Dressing1 cup balsamic vinegar¼ cup honeySpinach Strawberry SaladSeveral cups fresh baby spinach 2-3 cups strawberries 1 cup blueberries1 diced avocado⅓ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese 1 cup pecans or walnuts Grilled chicken or salmon (optional)Instructions:Dressing:In a small saucepan, heat balsamic vinegar and honey over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and reduces (about 10 or so minutes).Remove from heat and pour the balsamic glaze into a heat-proof bowl to cool off.

Hello to you listening in Victoria, BC, CanadaLand!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for a change up) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.My friend Michelle asked me something that made me stop and think. She said, "You always end Story Prompt Friday with 'Write that story!' But you believe in the music of the spoken word - telling stories out loud - why not say that?Michelle knows me well.Here's the thing about our voices - they carry magic that our fingers can't capture. When you write your story, you're having a conversation with yourself. It's a lovely and necessary place to begin. But when you speak your story out loud, something different happens. Something powerful.Your voice carries the rhythm of your heartbeat. It holds the catch in your throat when you remember something tender. It speeds up when you get excited and slows down when the moment matters most. These aren't just sounds - they're the music of your experience.Think about the last time someone told you a story that made you lean in closer. Was it their words alone? Or was it the way their voice dropped to an intimate whisper? The way they paused right before the surprise? The way their whole face lit up when they got to the good part?When you tell your story out loud, you're not just sharing information. You're sharing yourself. Your voice carries your personality, your emotions, your truth in ways that words on a page simply cannot.Here's what I've learned in thirty years of teaching people to tell their stories: most of us have forgotten how powerful our voices are. We text instead of call. We email instead of visit. We've become quiet.Your story needs your voice. It needs the way you say certain words. It needs your pauses, your emphasis, your breath. These aren't extras - they're essential story ingredients.When you stand up and tell your story, you're claiming space in the world. You're saying, "This happened. This matters. I matter." That's not just storytelling - that's courage.And here's the magical surprise: when you tell your story out loud, you hear it differently than when you write it. You discover new meanings. You find the parts that will move your listeners. You learn which moments need more time and which ones can move faster.Your voice teaches you about your own story.Your stories are waiting for the full power of your voice. They're waiting for the music of the spoken word only you can make.So yes, write your stories. But don't stop there. Find someone to tell them to, a loved one, an animal companion, even to yourself as you're walking outside or working in your garden. That's where I practice! What's important is that you have a story to share.Give others that gift. Give yourself that gift. If you need a hand up I can help. Email me at info@quartermoonstoryarts.net to arrange for a no obligation Discovery Call or reach out to me ("Wyzga on Words") on Substack. I'd love the opportunity to work with you!  Story Prompt: Starting now, tell your story out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Ever since Franz Anton Mesmer induced trance-like states in his Parisian subjects in the late eighteenth century, dressed in long purple robes, hypnosis has been associated with performance, power and the occult.  It has exerted a powerful hold over the cultural imagination, featuring in novels and films including Bram Stoker's Dracula and George du Maurier's Trilby - and it was even practiced by Charles Dickens himself.But despite some debate within the medical establishment about the scientific validity of hypnosis, it continues to be used today as a successful treatment for physical and psychological conditions. Scientists are also using hypnosis to learn more about the power of suggestion and belief.

From its multi-year journey of rejections to becoming a fan-favorite feature, Withers shares how the show finally got green-lit, the massive team effort it takes to pull it off, and the unmatched player and front office buy-in it requires. They dive into the adrenaline of live TV, mic'd-up moments, clubhouse dynamics, and what's next—including a Cribs-style bullpen tour. If you've ever wondered how the magic of baseball TV happens, this one's for you.

In this snack-sized episode of Parenting is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg is joined again by Tracey Tee—comedian turned founder of Moms on Mushrooms (M.O.M.)—to talk about how microdosing psilocybin became the unexpected tool that helped her feel more present, emotionally resilient, and aligned as a parent. Tracey explains how her past work creating The Pump and Dump Show laid the groundwork for building a mushroom-centered community for moms looking for healing, connection, and alternatives to antidepressants. They discuss the myths around microdosing, the stigma of moms on psychedelics, and why Tracey compares it to a cup of coffee rather than a drug-induced haze. She breaks down how most moms in her community aren't looking to get high—they're looking to feel something again after years of numbing out on SSRIs, exhaustion, and societal expectations. Tracey also explains why mushrooms, unlike wine or wellness trends, actually ask moms to show up for their own healing with intention. The episode ends with Tracey reflecting on the exact moment she knew the mushrooms were working: when she stopped parenting for appearances and started listening to what her daughter actually needed.
