Podcasts about scheduling

Text and Be HeardWhat if your recovery accelerated the moment you opened your calendar? We explore Step 10 through a fresh lens: not a nightly tally of mistakes, but a living practice of scheduling the next 24 hours with intention, gratitude, and service. That simple shift changes the chemistry of your day—less rumination, more natural dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, oxytocin and focus—so you can move your life forward with clarity.  Being Present.We share how to design a plan that includes your personal goals and the goals of your spouse or partner, so your schedule reflects the life you're building together. You'll hear practical strategies for blocking time for work, study, and business tasks while protecting mental, physical, spiritual, and financial health. We dig into the hidden cost of unplanned minutes—workouts that double in length, “quick” scrolls that eat an afternoon, one show turning into three—and show how a detailed plan exposes and closes those leaks without adding burnout.How can you bring Harmony to your World, Today?The conversation pivots from “present examination” to “present opportunity”: which actions can you take now to build momentum, whom can you uplift today, and which triggers—notes, quotes, music—prime your best effort? With the free recovery growth scorecard, you'll get a simple tool to map actions, build neuroplasticity, and make progress measurable. Correct mistakes in real time, keep your plan visible, and include acts of service that create harmony for you and the people around you. Subscribe, share this with someone who's ready to reclaim their time, and leave a review telling us the one action you're scheduling today.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThis WTF Wednesday isn't just a rant. It's a full autopsy on why basic competence has collapsed in America. I'm talking about the simplest tasks. Calling a pharmacy. Scheduling a doctor. Upgrading a phone. Everything that should take minutes now takes hours. And for millions of us, it feels like the entire country forgot how to function.Everywhere you turn there's another problem waiting for you. You try to check a prescription and the system's down. You try to reach a human being and the phone tree traps you in circles. You show up for an appointment and they say it was canceled but can't tell you why. Even the places that used to run like clockwork are now tripping over their own shoelaces.And it's not just one industry. It's healthcare. It's banking. It's retail. It's technology that keeps failing at the exact moment you need it most. You stand in lines that don't move. You get messages that contradict the last message you got. You try to solve one simple problem and end up trapped in a maze where nobody knows anything and nobody can help you.This episode digs into how incompetence has become the new national default. You see it everywhere. Fast food. Airlines. Doctors offices. Apps that ask you to do the work the company used to do. We're now living in a country where helping yourself is the only way to get help.A culture of incompetence doesn't happen in a vacuum. It spreads. It's taught. It's absorbed. People are overwhelmed and undertrained. Systems are overloaded. The smallest problem becomes a chain reaction because no one has the tools or the bandwidth to get anything right the first time anymore.This episode digs into that connection. How millions of people were taught that effort's optional. How compassion's weakness. And how that mindset's helped collapse basic service and basic responsibility across the country.If you've ever wondered why everything feels harder, slower, more chaotic, and more broken than it used to be, this episode's for you. It's raw. It's honest. It's every frustration you've swallowed this year finally being said out loud. And it all leads to one question. How do we fix a country where competence left the building and has no plans to return?This is your Wednesday WTF episode.And, if you'd like to help support this podcast financially with a small donation before the holiday's…here is the link: https://ko-fi.com/aworldgonemadAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

Strap in for another jam-packed episode of High Low Sports as DJ and Kelcey break down the wildest headlines across the NFL and college football, all with their signature banter and unapologetic takes. Is the Kansas City dynasty on life support? Are the Colts so desperate they'd call up Santa Claus himself to play QB? The guys dig deep into playoff pictures, the Chiefs' struggles, and chaos in Indianapolis—with all the sharp wit and sharp stats you expect. But the real fireworks go off when the CFP committee's decisions come under the microscope. Has the committee lost their minds? Why is Alabama in at No. 9 with three losses, and why do some teams just seem to always get the invite to the big show? Kelsey doesn't hold back on his Alabama rant, and both hosts weigh in on the endless debate: should the playoff be 8, 12, or expanded even more? Rounding things out, it's time for some MVP talk, a look at the World Cup's confusing group draw, and a check-in on their betting record for the UFC. It's college football's silliest season, NFL crunch time, and no-holds-barred analysis—just how you like it!

IAAPA Expo is often described as the “most wonderful time of the year” for attractions professionals, but it can also be overwhelming: long days, packed schedules, and endless conversations. By unpacking the expo, Matt and Josh share how they turned the week into a soul-filling, business-building experience through people, intentional design, and investing in the next generation. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about how to turn IAAPA Expo into the most meaningful and memorable week of your professional year. People, Meetups, and Becoming the “Elder Statesman” “This was such a huge ‘people' experience for me.” Matt's first big takeaway is simple: people. From the AttractionPros Meetup until leaving Epic Universe on Thursday night, he was in constant conversation, reconnecting with long-time colleagues, and supporting first-time speakers. Matt also talks about his evolving role as a kind of “elder statesman,” helping newer professionals, making the event as much about lifting others up as about his own experience. Booths as Mini Attractions “An expo booth should operate like a mini attraction.” Josh shared how he treated his exhibit booth as a mini attraction. With two interns, they focused on fundamentals of guest service. Details mattered: enhanced carpet padding that felt like “walking on a cloud,” comfortable lounge-style furniture, and a coffee station with branded cups and carefully placed lids so the logo was always visible. Inclusion Beyond Accessibility “Inclusion is not the same as accessibility.” Matt highlights a powerful session on inclusion led by Sharon Newhardt and Enzo Piscopo of Morgan's Wonderland. Enzo, presenting from a wheelchair on a stage accessible by a newly installed lift, shared how physical accessibility does not automatically equal inclusion. He explained that while ramps and designated seating may check compliance boxes, they can still leave guests and employees feeling excluded such as never being able to choose a seat behind home plate or in a dream location at a ballpark. When IAAPA Expo Really Is a Family Reunion “You never know who you're related to at the Expo.” Josh shares a story that turns the “family reunion” metaphor into reality. In the middle of a packed Tuesday, he receives a text from his mom: “We have a cousin exhibiting at IAAPA.” The next day, Josh finally met his second cousin once removed — someone who has been in the industry longer than he has, working on the chemistry behind skin for animatronics. They realize they've likely been in the same building at the same time for years without knowing it. Quick Hits: Energy, Words, Appreciation, Rest, and Instagrammable Workplaces “Sleep and rest are not the same thing.” Matt runs through a series of “quick hits” that left a mark on him. From the Women in the Industry Luncheon, he shares Lauren Hodges's concept of managing energy, not just time, reframing mindset language, demonstrating a deeper sense of appreciation, and differentiating sleep from rest. Finally, seeing IAAPA staff proudly taking selfies in their own event space prompts the question: is your workplace Instagrammable for your team? The Intangible Value of IAAPA “The overall value of IAAPA Expo is intangible and sometimes is not even realized until much later in the future.” While you can quantify tickets, sessions, and receptions, the real value of the week for Josh's interns came from introductions, mentorship, and compounding opportunities. Josh intentionally introduced them to every person who came to the booth, encouraged them to talk about their own career goals, and encouraged them to attend separately-ticketed events. By midweek, they had lost count of how many executives they'd met. While organizations often focus on hard ROI, it is the personal growth, expanded networks, and renewed passion that attendees bring back are equally valuable, even if they're harder to measure.   What were your biggest takeaways from IAAPA Expo? How are you turning your booth, sessions, or workplace into memorable experiences? What are you doing to make your operation more inclusive, people-centric, and soul-filling?

God's word came to John the Baptist in the wilderness -- and God meets us in our wilderness, as well. Lies about our identity can make it hard to savor peace and hear God. Yet even in a season of noise and over-scheduling, God invites us to peace and rest in our true identity in Christ.

Some days feel like everything hits at once—a demanding workload that keeps growing, a coworker who pushes boundaries, unfinished conversations waiting at home, and financial pressures that seem to tighten by the day. It's the kind of day that leaves you mentally stretched and wishing for just five minutes to breathe. In those moments, the idea of separating your stress into manageable pieces feels unrealistic. Yet the truth is that learning how to compartmentalize your stress can be one of the most powerful ways to protect your energy, your clarity, and your relationships. Today, we're going to talk about what that actually looks like—not ignoring problems but giving each one its proper place so it doesn't spill into everything else. This is especially important during the holidays as this episode is released. We'll walk through practical strategies that help you regain control of your mindset, your time, and the moving parts of your life that often feel overwhelming.

177: Female Orgasm Tips No One Taught You (Men take notes) with Abigail from Rat Girls PodcastFemale pleasure is rarely taught honestly. In this episode, we break down why so many women fake orgasms and how to have real, satisfying orgasms using practical pleasure tips, communication, and body awareness.What if the reason you're not orgasming (or your partner isn't) has nothing to do with your body being “broken”… and everything to do with what no one ever taught you?In this deliciously honest, funny, and wildly validating episode, I sit down with Rat Girl Podcast to talk about how to actually orgasm with a vulva — whether you're solo, partnered, married, dating, ADHD, curious, or just tired of faking it.We're talking real pleasure, not porn-based performance sex.We break down why:• “Jackhammering” isn't doing what you think it's doing• Faking orgasms keeps everyone stuck (and how to stop)• The so-called “tight V” myth is actually about arousal• Why vulvas literally grow, expand, and need warming up• The orgasm gap is real — and fixable• Vibrators don't make partners “inferior” (they make sex better)• Most people orgasm more with clit stimulation and toys• There is MORE than one way to orgasm (and no, liquid isn't required)• Smut books, fantasy, and erotic storytelling might be your secret weapon• ADHD sex struggles are normal — and there are simple ways to work with them• Scheduling sex doesn't kill the spark — avoiding pleasure doesWe also cover:• How to ask for more foreplay without crushing your partner's ego (the compliment sandwich

What if the key to unlocking these capabilities lies not in another sales workshop, but in a pair of running shoes or a set of gym weights? On this episode of the Sales Reinvented podcast, I talk with Randy Neufeld, President and GM at Kubota Thunder Bay, who shares how his journey from sluggish and overweight to fit and focused transformed not just his health, but his entire sales career. Outline of This Episode [00:00] The role of fitness in building strong customer relationships and leading high-performing teams. [04:50] Consistency and planning ahead are key to effective workouts. [08:24] Change poor lifestyle choices by opting for healthier options. [12:06] Persevere through setbacks; results will gain recognition. [13:51] How exercise led to improved business opportunities for Randy. The Overlooked Link Between Fitness and Sales Success Randy pulls no punches: physical fitness isn't just about looking good, but about being sharp, energized, and ready to deliver at your best. When you're physically fit and mentally fit, you're sharper, you're more alert, you have more energy. This heightened focus and self-confidence radiate during customer interactions. First impressions count, and a salesperson exuding vitality and positivity is inevitably more compelling. Habits That Fire Up Your Day How does a busy sales leader incorporate fitness into a jam-packed routine? According to Randy, it's ruthless consistency. His formula is simple yet effective. He starts every day with an early-morning workout at a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) gym, before most people have even hit the snooze button. This non-negotiable morning ritual, coupled with a healthy breakfast, ensures he arrives at work already energized and in the right mental space. Randy recommends:  Scheduling your workouts for times least likely to be disrupted, for most, that's early morning. Making your fitness routine non-negotiable, just like an important meeting. Planning your workouts in advance, so you don't waste mental energy debating whether or what to do. Sales is notorious for high stress and burnout rates. Randy credits his morning exercise for making him more relaxed and less susceptible to stress during the workday. A lot of stress is caused by people being rushed, whereas when your blood's flowing and you've had a good meal, you're coming to work ready to go. It's a simple formula: controlled mornings equal calmer, more productive days. Tackling Common Roadblocks Many sales professionals struggle with two core lifestyle challenges: inconsistent exercise and poor eating habits. You need to protect your workout time from life's interruptions, don't accept your own excuses, and treat your workouts as you would any professional obligation. Perhaps the most inspiring part of Randy's story is the tangible effect his lifestyle change had on his career trajectory. Losing weight, eating better, and adopting regular exercise led to a more positive outlook, which in turn "opened doors" in his professional life. He transitioned into a new career, enjoyed new opportunities, and ultimately bought into a business, all steps he attributes, at least in part, to the confidence and drive fueled by fitness. Surround yourself with like-minded people, celebrate small wins, and focus on the next milestone, not just the mountain ahead. In sales (and in life), physical fitness isn't optional self-care; it's a critical lever for sustained performance and professional pride.

Salma Abassaly is the co-founder and managing partner of CERTIS LLC. Born and raised in Paris, she moved to the United Arab Emirates in 2007 and built a career that spanned luxury hospitality, corporate services, managing children's play areas, and leading leisure facilities before becoming an entrepreneur. CERTIS LLC is a UAE-based inspection and certification body that serves rides, attractions, and leisure facilities, pairing technical rigor with real-world operational insight. In this interview, Salma talks about inspections and certifications, relationship capital, and normalizing diversity. Inspections and certifications “We work with leading operators regionally and we ensure their rides meet international standards and we offer them an end-to-end approach from concept design to installation inspection as well as their ongoing operational audits and inspection.” Salma explains that CERTIS LLC provides an end-to-end approach, from concept and installation inspections through ongoing operational audits and periodic inspections. Her own operator background means she “speaks the language of the operators,” helping clients see an inspection body not as a cost or constraint but as an ally that aligns perception and reality through standards. She and her partner, Fadi, intentionally balance operational fluency and technical rigor so there is “no gap” when addressing client concerns. She also emphasizes credibility as foundational. Accreditation was the stamp that allowed CERTIS LLC to demonstrate quality, reliability, and transparency from day one, opening doors with regional leaders and setting a bar the company intends to uphold as it grows across the region and into emerging markets. Relationship capital “I think the transaction is the ultimate accomplishment of the relationship through the company, but before that, there's the relationship.” Relationships are not just a tactic for Salma; they are a metric of success. She prioritizes availability, consistency, and nurturing human connections beyond business, noting that trust built early makes hard conversations possible when inspections surface issues clients would rather not hear. To protect the partnership at the heart of CERTIS LLC, she and Fadi even engaged in proactive relationship coaching at the company's founding to set ground rules for how they would show up, disagree, and decide together. That investment sustains a culture of collaboration with each other and with clients, where long-term partnership matters as much as revenue. Salma adds that surrounding yourself with people who are “smarter than you” elevates outcomes and turns competition into collaboration. Growth, she says, is rarely linear; persistence, shared purpose, and strong partners win over time. Normalizing diversity “The goal is not really to highlight gender, but more to normalize diversity.” Reflecting on often being one of few women in boardrooms, Salma argues that representation fuels aspiration and that women's leadership brings emotional intelligence, resilience, and collaboration that benefit teams and guests alike. Her advice to women entering the industry is to lead as their authentic selves, not by copying stereotypically male behaviors. She hopes her daughter's generation won't even need to notice whether there are two women in a meeting, because diversity will simply be normal. Salma also shares her experience of the UAE as dynamic, opportunity-rich, and safe, with visible commitment to entrepreneurship and women in leadership. That environment, she says, has enabled her to turn vision into reality and to scale with clarity of purpose.   To connect with Salma directly, reach out to her on LinkedIn, and to learn more about the company, visit the CERTIS LLC website.

"The mind is like water. When it's turbulent, it's hard to see. When it's calm, everything becomes clear." — Kobe Bryant  Kobe Bryant was definitely onto something when he spoke those words. If you're not in control of your commitments and have no idea what needs to be done next, you're going to be stressed. And stress, like turbulent water, makes it hard to see where you should be spending your time.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Join the Time And Life Mastery Programme here.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  What's the point of learning how to be more productive and to be better at managing our time? Are we not just shuffling work around—work that will need to be done at some point anyway? Well, yes and no.  Historically, people went to work, often in factories, where they performed repetitive manual labour. When their workday finished, they “downed tools”, clocked out and went home. As there were no TVs or smartphones, people often played cards or board games with their families, read books or went to the pub.  It was easy to leave work at work. It was easy to manage our time. There was personal time and work time, and the two did not mix.  Today, it's very different. Most of you listening to this podcast will likely be working in what is commonly called “knowledge work' jobs. You're not hired for your muscles. You're hired for your brain.  And this causes us a problem. Manual labour meant you did a hard day's work, and when you went home, you could forget about work. In knowledge work, it's not so easy to stop your brain from thinking about a work problem.  I remember when I worked in a law firm, I caught the bus home and often spent most of the journey thinking about an issue with a client and trying to figure out the simplest way to solve the problem. In the past, people would have looked forward to getting home to their families. When you're mentally distracted in that way, it's hard for you to switch off and enjoy that time with your family and friends.  Today, it also means there's no barrier—except our own willpower—to sending an email or a Teams message at any time of the day or night.  In the past, the factory gates were locked, or someone else was doing your job on the night shift. It wasn't possible to work beyond your regular working hours. Time management was much easier. Not so today. And that nicely leads us to this week's question. And that means it's time to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice. This week's question comes from Michael. Michael asks, Hi Carl, I've spent years struggling with time management, and it's got to the point where I think there's no point. As hard as I try, there's always something that needs to be done, and I never get a chance to finish anything and end up with everything being urgent. Is there any point to all this time management and productivity stuff?   Hi Michael, thank you for your question.  In many respects, you might be right that managing time, or at least trying to, is a waste of time. (I think there might be a pun there)  As I alluded to, with knowledge work and the explosion of communication tools over the last few years, things that could have waited a day or two now seem to have to be dealt with immediately.  It's not that the task is suddenly urgent; it's a combination of people's expectations and the delivery system.  The problem here is that no matter how fast the delivery system becomes—or other people's expectations— we are human. We can still only do one thing at a time. That is not going to change in our lifetime.  And that's where to start—understanding that you, as an individual, can only work on one thing at a time.  In other words, if you have ten equally urgent messages to reply to, you're going to have to choose which one to respond to first.  Now, you could come up with a complex, convoluted system for deciding which message to respond to first, or you could adopt a more straightforward first-in-first-out approach. Start with the oldest and work your way through your list of messages.  What are we talking about here—perhaps a ten-minute delay for you to get to a particular message? Does ten minutes really matter? You're not trying to save someone's life in an emergency room, are you?  Messages are often more time-sensitive than emails, and I find that responding to them between work sessions works best.  For instance, if you were to protect 9:30 to 11:30 am for focused work. That's two hours where you are technically not available. Once you finish that session, check your messages and respond to any that require a response.  When I set these barriers of doing undisturbed, focused work for two hours a day, I used to panic every time my phone dinged. I felt I had to respond immediately. Of course, that was not true. It never was, and it's still not true for any of us today.  It took a few weeks to wean myself off panicking every time a message came in, but the results were fantastic. My productivity went through the roof, leading to fewer urgent tasks.  Our brains are not good at handling interruptions to the flow of work. I've seen studies showing that even a minor interruption can take you up to 18 minutes to refocus and get back to where you were before.  Think about that for a moment. Even if you were taking ten minutes to refocus and getting an average of six interruptions per day, you've lost an hour. Or to put it into a better perspective, that's 12 ½ per cent of your work day gone. Wasted. By responding to messages between work sessions, you avoid losing focus and get more work done in less time.  And it's there that you will find fewer urgent tasks to do. Because you are getting more done in less time, you will be able to stay on top of projects and other work without getting too close to the deadline.  Another area that can make us feel that managing our time is a waste of time is focusing on the number of tasks rather than the time we have available. Again, this is linked to the fragility of being human. We are affected by how much sleep we get, our mood, and our diet.  Have a bad night's sleep, then a fight with your kids over the breakfast table and a sugary doughnut as a midmorning snack, and you're not going to get a lot of work done.  You have a sleep debt, you're worked up by the argument, and that doughnut is going to give you a massive energy crash.  This is why estimating how long a task will take is challenging.  I've been writing a 1,000-word blog post every week for around ten years now. You'd think I would be able to estimate reasonably accurately how long writing 1,000 words would take after writing over 500 blog posts. Ha! No chance. Some days I can write the first draft in forty-five minutes, other days it can take me two hours.  The biggest effect on how long it will take me is sleep. If I get my seven hours, I know it'll take me less than an hour. Less than six hours, and I'm struggling to do it in two hours.  A better approach is to allocate time for doing groups of linked tasks. For example, group all your actionable emails and set aside 40 to 60 minutes at the end of the day to deal with them.  This way, it doesn't matter how many emails you have to act on; you do as many as you can in the time you have.  If you're doing this every day, you'll soon find you have no email backlogs. What amazes me is the people who try this for a few days and give up because their huge backlog of actionable emails is not getting significantly smaller. Well, of course not. If you're starting with six hundred actionable emails, it's going to take you a long time to get that under control.  What you could do is set aside a one-off period to get that backlog under control first. Then set a time each day to keep it under control.  Or make sure you have a “net-gain” with your responses. For instance, if you get 20 actionable emails in a day, respond to at least 21. That's a net gain. If you do that consistently over a few weeks, your backlog of actionable emails will reduce significantly.  You're not going to lose the holiday weight you gained in a few days. It might have only taken you a few days to gain that weight, but it's going to take you a few weeks, if not months, to lose it. (Life's tough, isn't it?)  Most of the reasons why so many people quit making necessary changes, whether in their work or personal life, are linked to the initial difficulty of change.  All change is difficult at first. You're changing. But soon that change becomes your norm, and then it becomes easy. It becomes “just what you do”.  There's a time and place for the things you want to or must do. This is where your calendar comes into play.  Scheduling time for play, rest and exercise is just as important as scheduling meetings with your clients or boss. Trouble is, we don't do that. We prioritise work over other essential things in our lives.  As Jim Rohn said, “When you work, work. When you play, play. Don't mix the two” Ask yourself, where's your boundary? If you don't have one, you're not managing time; you're allowing time to manage you.  There are many ways you can take control of your calendar.  You could, for example, limit the number of hours you spend in meetings each week. If you work a typical 40-hour week, you could set the maximum time you spend in meetings at 15 hours. That will leave you with 25 hours dedicated to doing your work tasks.  Most people I talk with have no idea how much time they are spending in meetings each week. They say “yes” to every meeting request. WOW! If you don't have control of that, you're “up the creek without a paddle”.  Managing time is about managing your calendar and doing the hard things, like saying no to additional meetings that won't help you do your work.  This is one reason why the old-fashioned paper planners were so good. Because you had to handwrite your appointments into your diary, there was no way you could double-book yourself. Sadly, that one simple feature does not exist in digital calendars.  I've seen people with four appointments all scheduled at the same time. Come on, you cannot be in two meetings at once, let alone four! You can also protect blocks of time for doing your most important work each day. It's not difficult, and with shared calendars, doing so indicates to other people that you are not available at that time.  And most important of all, you can do a short daily planning session where you look at your calendar to see where your commitments are, then curate your to-do list so that the number of tasks you have for today is realistic, given how much non-meeting time you have.  Yet none of these are tool issues. These are human decisions we need to make, and we need to be strong enough to follow through with them. Blaming our boss, colleagues, customers, or tools won't improve the situation.  Only by being strong enough to say “no, not then, how about this time”, can you ever regain control of your time and see a corresponding increase in your productivity.  So there you go, Michael. Time management and productivity systems can and do work, but they only work if you are willing to make the difficult choices that come with them.  Be consistent in trusting your calendar. Allow it to structure your day between your work and home life.  Don't allow someone else's “urgent” to become your urgent. Respond to messages appropriately, but within your time frames.  I hope that has helped, and thank you for your question. And thank you to you, too, for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

She shares a fascinating study showing the progression of how likely something is to get done: Having the idea – 10% Writing it down – 40% Making a plan – 50% Telling someone – 60% Scheduling a recurring meeting – 90% We also discuss how to create goals that actually inspire action, starting with the simple framework: "It would be nice if ________." Whether you're a fitness professional, business owner, or someone looking to gain more clarity and control with money, you'll walk away encouraged and equipped to take the next step and not just dream about it.

Since its inception, accesso's virtual queuing has saved more than 4.5 billion minutes of wait time, freeing guests to pack their day with more rides, eats, and excitement. The result? Happier guests who spend more and a better bottom line for you. Ready to turn waits into wins? Visit accesso.com/ROIClinic. The queues are virtual. The results are real. Tyler Rizzo is the Vice President of Finance at COTALAND. Growing up in Central Florida, he got his start in attractions at Busch Gardens Tampa, then earned a hospitality management degree at UCF's Rosen College before moving from front-of-house operations into analytics at SeaWorld, revenue analytics at Cedar Fair, and leadership roles spanning analytics and food and beverage. He later consulted at Storyland Studios on pre-concept through opening projects. Today, he's helping launch COTALAND in Austin, a dense 30-acre park with about 30 rides built alongside Circuit of the Americas, home to the F1 United States Grand Prix. In this interview, Tyler talks about bridging finance and operations, not chasing expensive pennies, and avoiding the doom spiral. Bridging finance and operations “I've kind of always treated it like an improv group; you never say no.” Tyler explains that finance succeeds when it partners with operators rather than policing them. He emphasizes open lines of communication, involving department heads in decisions, and never blindsiding colleagues with a spreadsheet they've never seen. He also stresses getting into the field, noting how proximity to the park at SeaWorld helped finance teams “walk the walk,” hear guests on rides, and translate spreadsheet cells into real experiences. That frontline credibility matters. Having carried a radio and worked the fryer, he says operators trust guidance from someone who has lived their constraints. Seasonality, hours of operation, and the realities of running rides and restaurants don't always show up in a model. By pairing operational tacit knowledge with analytics, Tyler builds plans that are both tight on paper and resilient in practice. Not chasing expensive pennies “I've had multiple times throughout my career where we chased expensive pennies.” Tyler cautions against over-correcting for small losses without weighing the bigger picture. He uses examples like shrink in retail or food waste in fries: quantification is essential, but so is the cost-benefit analysis of fixes. If moving T-shirts indoors to cut theft chokes visibility and sales, or new security costs exceed the recovered margin, the “savings” are illusory. He extends this thinking to the industry's top- versus bottom-line focus. Cutting hours or labor can protect a quarter, but erode perceived value and long-term revenue. He contrasts firms that invest in people and guest experience with those making knee-jerk reductions, arguing that sustainable performance comes from meeting or exceeding value expectations, not just trimming expense lines. Avoiding the doom spiral “The easy button is to absolutely reduce hours, reduce labor, those start to become expensive pennies though when you're losing your core market.” When attendance dips, slashing staffing may seem prudent, but Tyler warns it can trigger a negative loop: thinner teams degrade service, which depresses visits further. His advice is to evaluate and realign the product's value proposition to what guests expect in that market, then execute consistently over time rather than relying on short-term cuts. He notes this discipline is hardest when micro results are choppy, yet it's precisely when conviction matters. Whether for a single FEC or a multi-park operator, recovery hinges on a clear multi-year plan rooted in core hospitality, supported by data, and adapted through continuous testing of operating models, pricing, and offerings without sacrificing the guest experience.   To learn more about COTALAND, visit cotaland.com.

Today's SWAPA Number is 112. That's the average TFP per active pilot since contract ratification in January, 2024. Even with low density schedules and low levels of reroute, the new contract pay structure has boosted the 108 average TFP historically used. In fact, we had the second highest monthly TFP ever this past July, 135 TFP average, second only to the January, 2023, immediately post-meltdown average of 139 TFP.It's been a whirlwind on the scheduling front this year with multiple implementation lifts that have had big impacts on how pilots plan and adjust their schedules. And with almost two years of the new CBA behind us, the Company appears to have made some adjustments of their own.  So today we're across the table with our scheduling gurus, Meagan Nelan and Scott Plyler, to unpack some of the pain points, talk about some best practices, and look down the road for what's coming in 2026.If you have any feedback for us at all, please drop us a line at comm@swapa.org or tap here to send us a text.Follow us online:Twitter - https://twitter.com/swapapilotsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/swapa737

Megan chats with Zoe Forestier about using structure, batching, and mindful planning to protect your energy, sustain creativity, and actually enjoy the blogging journey, especially during high-pressure seasons. Zoe is the voice behind Girl Meets Fire, where she shares Puerto Rican recipes with a global audience. Her work blends tradition with modern strategies, from food photography to SEO-driven content planning. Alongside the blog, she developed the Firestarter Planner, a tool designed to help food bloggers streamline their workflows, track ideas, and stay consistent without burning out. Her passion lies in making content creation manageable and sustainable for fellow bloggers. Food blogging can feel like juggling a dozen spinning plates. Zoe has found a system that keeps her grounded. She shares how she uses planning as both a productivity and mindset tool. From batching content before Q4 chaos to color-coding creative focus, she teaches us how organization can actually spark more joy.  Key points discussed include: Structure sparks freedom: Systems don't cage creativity, they protect it. Plan ahead for peace: Treat each quarter like a recipe and prep the ingredients early. Batch like a pro: Group similar tasks to save mental energy and time. Mindset over hustle: Your planner can become a self-care practice, not a stress list. Simplify your workspace: One planner beats seven notebooks every time. Build in joy: Scheduling breaks and simple rituals keeps burnout at bay. Stay consistent, not perfect: Progress compounds when you stop starting over. Ground yourself in purpose: Every quarter, revisit why you started, then plan from there. Connect with Zoe Forestier Firestarter Planner Website | Instagram
