Podcasts about Six Flags

The crew kicks things off with air show excitement taking over St. Louis. Between Blue Angels screaming across the sky, traffic nightmares in Chesterfield Valley, food truck plans, soccer matches, and Moon somehow scheduling approximately 47 events in a single Saturday, the weekend is already off to a chaotic start. The team also swaps stories about hidden local gems, parks they've somehow ignored for years, and the eternal struggle of trying to get anywhere during a major regional event.Steve Ewing, his wife Beth, and the tragic loss of their dog after an attack in Tower Grove Park. The gang shares thoughts on responsible pet ownership, leash laws, dog training, accountability, and the kind of people who make terrible situations even worse by running away from them. It's an emotional discussion that highlights how quickly an ordinary day can become unforgettable.What's worse—finding out your child is being bullied or finding out your child is the bully? That launches a flood of personal stories, old-school parenting advice, schoolyard fight memories, gym teachers who looked the other way, and lessons learned from growing up in a world where conflict usually worked itself out one way or another.They debate about things that were ruined once too many people discovered them. Food trucks. Craft beer. Airbnb. Festivals. Etsy. Secret parking spots. National parks. Podcasts. Nothing is safe. If you've ever loved something before it became wildly popular and slightly unbearable, you'll probably find yourself nodding along while simultaneously realizing you might be part of the problem.An Olive Garden server receives a massive $700 tip, management gets involved, fraud reviews begin, accusations start flying, Facebook explodes, and suddenly nobody knows who to believe. Along the way you'll hear tales of childhood heroes, local legends, travel headaches, restaurant pet peeves, and the type of random conversations that somehow only make sense when heard together. That's what happens when a group of friends sits down with microphones and starts following every ridiculous tangent to its natural conclusion.Rizz didn't know what a Long John donut was?Which led to a passionate discussion about Long Johns, eclairs, and why every city insists on calling the same food something completely different. From there, things get appropriately ridiculous.In music news, Ace Frehley's legendary 1975 Gibson Les Paul sells for over half a million dollars, proving that Kiss fans remain one of the most dedicated—and financially dangerous—fan bases on Earth. The crew dives into the legacy of the iconic guitar, the musicians inspired by it, and why certain pieces of rock history carry a price tag bigger than most houses.The Red Hot Chili Peppers, where former guitarist Josh Klinghoffer says his era with the band has basically been erased from history. The gang debates forgotten albums, band politics, and why some musicians act like entire chapters of their careers never happened.Elsewhere, Madonna surprises fans with a pop-up Pride performance in Times Square, Ted Danson opens up once again about one of the most controversial moments of his career, and Bret Michaels' daughter shares stories about growing up backstage at Poison concerts that absolutely sound like they came from another planet.Movie fans get fed as the crew breaks down reviews for the new Masters of the Universe film, debates whether nostalgia can carry a franchise forever, and discusses famous movie mistakes that accidentally became iconic scenes. Plus, Nightcrawler gets some love, The Birdcage remains a classic, and everyone learns that sometimes the best moments in cinema happen when things go completely off the rails.The crew discovers what modern audiences consider "dad rock," and let's just say nobody was emotionally prepared to hear Blink-182, Linkin Park, Korn, Creed, and Fall Out Boy thrown into the same category as classic rock legends. Time comes for us all.The gang dives headfirst into one of the most ridiculous E-Memoriums we've had in a while, featuring cheese addiction, public stupidity, psychedelic suburban dads, shattered aviation dreams, and one of the most unexpectedly wholesome surprises we've ever pulled off.Rafe kicks things off by documenting his descent into dairy madness after being forced onto a 90-day elimination diet. What started as a simple food sensitivity test has turned into a full-blown cheese withdrawal situation. We're talking Gouda cravings, cheddar desperation, and behavior that would get you escorted directly out of a Target. If you've ever loved cheese enough to question your life choices, you'll feel seen.Meanwhile, Rizz discovers there's now a Lost Boys musical on Broadway. That's right. Somewhere, a vampire is singing show tunes and Gen X dads everywhere are suddenly considering season tickets. The crew debates Broadway shows, Book of Mormon, and whether Lost Boys might be the gateway drug that finally gets middle-aged rock fans into theater.Then comes one of the week's strangest news stories as the gang revisits the infamous Hooters incident involving a customer who somehow managed to turn a chicken wing restaurant into the site of a criminal investigation. It leads to a conversation that proves common sense may officially be extinct.The laughs keep coming when Rizz recounts his Primus concert experience. What should have been a nostalgic night of music instead became a fascinating study of what happens when suburban dads try to reconnect with their youth through psychedelics while simultaneously worrying about mortgages, roofing contractors, colonoscopies, and elevated heart rates. It's less Woodstock and more West County Wellness Check.After learning he lost his chance to fly with the Blue Angels, Moon was genuinely crushed. What follows is one of the coolest surprises we've ever pulled off. With help from an incredible listener, a Blue Angels-themed Corvette Stingray appears outside the station, giving Moon the next best thing to taking flight. What starts as a joke quickly becomes a heartfelt moment involving family memories, aviation dreams, and enough horsepower to temporarily heal a broken heart.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Man arrested for smashing bar window in south St. LouisOlive Garden Faces Backlash After Server Says $700 Tip Led to FiringAce Frehley's main Kiss guitar, the 1975 “Budokan” Gibson Les Paul, sells for over half a million dollars at auctionRam Made An AI-Generated Shirt With A Tacoma On ItVolunteer firefighter arrested for setting blazes and responding to them with his own department during 30-hour arson spreeNew York robber on the run after stealing just $605 from six banks across cityMan allegedly had 11-year-old hold flashlight during burglaryCedar Point bans guest from all Six Flags parks for life after video shows him eating chicken nuggets while riding Millennium Force roller coasterHere's why a Newark flight to Spain had to turn around over the Atlantic68-year-old woman arrested for calling 911 over Jell-O shot denial at Ocala barMan accidentally shoots himself in groin while shopping at Florida WalmartSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The first ever Coaster Radio panel discussion is here — and it did not disappoint. Joining Mike and EB are three guests who come at the theme park world from completely different angles. Jessica Gardner — the Theme Parkette — is a Los Angeles-based travel content creator, actress with over 50 on-screen credits, USA Today 10Best theme park expert, and host of the ACE official podcast Ride With Us. Josh Reichlin of Made to Thrill spent years frustrated by theme park gift shops and instead of just complaining about it built an entire brand whose retro-style artwork now hangs in Six Flags parks, Holiday World, and an unreasonable number of other places. And Tom from Louisville — Coaster Radio listener since Season 1, game show contestant, Reel Design Contest semifinalist, cartoon lobster, and the man whose voice you hear every week saying "quick hits." Topics covered this week: Is Werewolf Gorge at Six Flags Fiesta Texas the last dive coaster we'll ever get genuinely excited about? Are we happy about Enchanted Parks and what should they call their skip the line program? Knoebels turns 100 this year and the panel has feelings. Michigan's Adventure turns 70 and nobody's sure what happens next. Jessica rode the new Phantom Theater at Kings Island three times in one day — with Meta glasses. Josh got a Voyage trimless night ride at Holiday World and called it life changing. Jessica's Voyage trimless night ride at the all-women's ride made her cry. The case for and against Epic Universe being the best theme park ever built — and why Tom from Louisville says Disneyland and he's not budging. Then the big question — do people like the ones on this panel actually make the theme park experience better? Influencers, podcasters, merchandise creators — do they add wonder or spoil it? The answers are honest, funny, and occasionally surprising. Plus Jessica reveals the most unexpected piece of theme park memorabilia in the history of the show. Tom brings the Trader Sam's mug. Josh explains what the Demon poster at Great America means to him personally. And somewhere in there, EB decides he needs to watch the Defunctland Fast Lane episode immediately.

In this episode, the fellas discuss how much D.C. is starting to resemble an abandoned Six Flags, A.I. eliminating all kinds of jobs, the introduction of "Popatine," Jay channeling his inner Kool Moe Dee and Dame's descent into dereliction.

Six Flags found itself at the center of a chicken nugget fiasco this week, amidst a power struggle on its board. Six Flags banned content creator Alan Farrell for life from all its parks after he posted an Instagram video of himself eating a 10-piece box of chicken nuggets atop Millennium Force, in violation of the park's safety policy banning loose articles on rides. The situation raises questions about the state of entertainment and how parks should vet influencers. Buried among the nuggets was the news that Six Flags announced a new CFO and three new directors, each serving three-year terms, all with finance, M&A, and turnaround backgrounds.  The board shuffle, favoring turnaround over entertainment, traces back to Jana's letter demanding change. It was private equity all along. Listen to our weekly bonus show on Patreon.

Blue Origin's New rocket erupted in a massive fireball during a test firing at Cape Canaveral Thursday night — shaking nearby homes and painting the sky orange. We break down the footage. Then it's a roller coaster double feature: an influencer gets a lifetime ban from every Six Flags park after filming himself doing a “stunt” on a roller coaster going 93 mph, and students on a field trip got stuck nearly 100 feet in the air on Galveston's Iron Shark for almost four hours. Plus, Hidden Valley Ranch is hiring "Ranchbassadors" to travel Europe this summer, spreading the gospel of ranch dressing — over 6,000 people applied, with some uncozy submissions. And we close with an apocalyptic Arizona dust storm that looks straight out of a disaster movie.   Watch the stream:  https://youtube.com/live/py8TWVHe38s   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

Six Flags as a kid is pure chaos. Six Flags as an adult is a different kind of chaos, and honestly, it might be better. I'm talking hands-up bravado, “I forgot my phone was in my pocket” panic, and the realization that some rides you loved at 12 now feel like a personal attack on your neck. I share what it's like going back to Six Flags St. Louis for its final season, chasing the biggest coasters, and trying to enjoy the day without turning it into a whole production. We get into the stuff you only notice when you're older: the park changing its identity, the weird comfort of familiar themes like Batman and Mr. Freeze, and the way nostalgia can hit you in the middle of a line. There's also a surprisingly real thread about height checks and what it does to a kid when they're brave enough but not tall enough. One moment breaks my heart, another turns into a tiny victory, and both stick with me more than any loop or drop. Of course, it wouldn't be Discombobulated without face paint, public embarrassment, and a few “what is happening right now” detours, plus some honest talk about self-care, fiber, and finding balance between grinding too hard and partying too hard. If you like comedy storytelling, theme park nostalgia, and chaotic life updates, hit play and ride along. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves roller coasters, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showhttps://www.patreon.com/c/DiscombobulatedwithBobbyJaycox

Magical Big Ben belfry ambience for fighting off procrastination or for mechanically induced focus. 10 hours of Big Ben, clock innards, musical plucks, London street ambience, and classic British broadcasting.____If I were to quickly pitch the episode ingredients: we have a sprinkling of Big Ben, London street ambience, and a 60-year-old BBC episode I found online. Tossed together with all sorts of clocks and drifty stuff. I imagine we are amongst the bells of the belfry with an FM Radio. Enjoying whatever magical clock-mechanic sounds happen all around. (I envision the magic fits between Tinker Bell and Rube Goldberg.)All of the above is meant for procrastination thumping sounds, get a bunch of work done!Ok, so lately I've been listening to What's All This Then, a delightful podcast hosted by two British expats and a guest covering British minutiae. So like beans on toast, why British folks don't rinse their dishes after lathering them in bubbles, et al. During a recent episode, a host mentioned that if you were to stand at the base of the Elizabeth Tower — or, as yanks know it, “Big Ben” and listen to BBC Radio 4, you will hear the live recording of the bell before the sound can travel down from the heights. Radio signals travel faster than sound waves. And that was all I needed to spiral into a manic mini-obsession over Big Ben... Also Big Ben is just the bell?I listened myself to BBC 4—the bell's gong plays at the top of the hour and the ringing is live. I also learned Humpty Dumpty wasn't a cannon(?)I did my best to explain all of the above to my wife over dinner, including the Humpty bit, and she was like, “I thought Humpty was an egg?”Also, I was like, “Hon — did you know A1 is not American? And they've got this whole other brown meat sauce!”She's like, “This is the most boring conversation I've ever had.”I reminded her that she regularly shares the contents of her dreams during meals. The night before, she recounted Six Flags opening a location in our basement and the cat got lost down there. You want to talk boring? Recounting efforts to rescue a cat out of a dream-basement tilt-a-whirl. PS: Nerd stuff — if you guessed that I positioned the hands of the... Big Ben clock(?) to 7:30 as an homage to the late great emcee Big L (from his track Criminal Slang)—you would be correct. "If you 7:30, that mean you crazy..." And the title is referencing a super nerdy mash-up of DJ eccentrics and jazz/funk drummers.Have a nice weekend!

Welcome to The Treehouse Show — the comedy podcast covering funny news, viral internet stories, pop culture debates, celebrity birthdays, and the absolute dumbest things people do in real life.Today's episode starts with one of the strangest trends we've ever seen: men trying to “restore” their foreskin.

We break it all down.We also revisit the viral Six Flags rollercoaster incident after riders were left stranded, plus we ask the important movie question nobody seems brave enough to answer: is The Mandalorian & Grogu going to be another disappointing Star Wars cash grab?Also on today's show: The bizarre trend of foreskin restorationWhy a man drove his Cybertruck into Lake GrapevineDFW treasure hunter goes full idiot at Lake LewisvilleSix Flags rollercoaster updateIs Mandalorian & Grogu doomed?Celebrity birthdays and terrible movie sequels/remakesA dad's brutally honest advice about boyfriendsThe life skills every guy should knowIf you love comedy podcasts, funny news stories, weird internet culture, pop culture commentary, viral headlines, and conversations that spiral completely out of control, you'll love The Treehouse Show.WHY LISTEN?Funny current events & trending storiesViral internet nonsensePop culture debates & movie talkWeird Florida/Texas-style newsComedy podcast chaos with friendsAbout the show:Leave your worries outside and join Dan O'Malley, Trey Trenholm, and their hilarious guests for laughs about funny news and viral stories with ridiculous commentary inside the Treehouse Show. 

The Treehouse Show is back with one of the worst defense attorney arguments we've ever heard: apparently the guy accused of throwing a rock at a monk seal was “trying to save the turtles.” Sure.

Both Disney and Six Flags posted strong earnings this week, and while haunts are a few steps removed from the major theme park operators, it tells us something useful: guests are still booking, still spending, and still showing up. The two chains are taking different approaches to the same moment, with Six Flags leaning into value and regional passes while Disney leans into premium. For haunted attractions, the takeaways are the same ones we've been tracking since TransWorld. In this issue:Disney Q2 Revenue Up 7% as D'Amaro Pitches Disney+ as Everything AppSix Flags Q1 Revenue Up 12% as Reilly Doubles Down on Pass StrategyOogie Boogie Bash Returns for 33 Select NightsAEOStudios to Close in June After 30 YearsScareCON 26 Takes Place May 18-20Mars Unveils New Seasonal Treats for Halfway to HalloweenRead More

Six Flags posted a strong Q1: 2.9 million guests (+4%), net revenues up 12% to $225.6 million, and per-cap spending up 6% to $69.26. More interesting, though, is that the new regional pass is driving cross-park visitation, and CEO John Reilly named SoCal and Texas as the markets where the pass is already working. Six Flags is leaning into this by announcing expanded summer programming and teasing new holiday programming at select parks. As some budget-conscious guests look to trim spending, Six Flags is positioned well geographically to capture that ‘trade-down' demand.Disney beat on the top and bottom: $25.17 billion in revenue (+7%) and adjusted EPS of $1.57. The stock popped about 7% on the day. Experiences revenue hit a Q2 record at $9.49 billion, with operating income of $2.6 billion, even as domestic parks attendance fell 1% on softer international visitation. Per-capita spending at domestic parks was up 5%. Hugh Johnston said the company has not seen any change in consumer behavior due to elevated gas prices, and Disney World forward bookings are pacing strongly, even with a 40% increase in cruise capacity. The most striking move on the call was Josh D'Amaro's reframing of Disney+ as the centerpiece of the company, calling it "the single most significant opportunity" the company has.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

Brim, Kim and Mr. Greer are back at it again. Apart from all the usual shenanigans, the gang chats about everything in pop culture with all the trimmings as they discuss the abrupt closing of Spirit Airlines, how Wren closed in the same manner, and Frontier doing monthly unlimited deals. They discuss how a plane landed on a delivery vehicle, crazy influencer issues, and how another influencer paid $17k to have ribs taken out.

The crew also discusses the Superman ride at Six Flags getting stuck at top, $80k Chik-fil-et theft, and Wal-Mart getting rid of self-check-out, and home gas explosion sends NYPD officers flying.

Six Flags St. Louis updated and reinstated its chaperone policy following fights in the parking lot on opening day. The planned teen takeover brought roughly 100 juveniles to opening day, prompting fights around the park's 8 PM closing time. Guests 16 and under must now be accompanied by a 21-plus chaperone, with a max of 6 guests per chaperone, daily, all operating hours. ICON Park introduced a similar policy the same week. Scott and I break down the takeover trend, Scott's case that this is the first step toward the end of the family theme park, and the upstream question nobody is solving — why these kids are bored enough to organize fights at parks in the first place.Then: Walt Disney World set the earliest start date ever for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party — August 7, 2026 — with a 38-night run, MNSSHP tickets ranging $119 to $229, and almost no new content beyond a Stitch-hosted dance party in Tomorrowland. The calendar extension is the actual product, with Merlin's disclosure that October now accounts for roughly a fifth of its annual profit, serving as the supporting case for why everyone is leaning harder into the Halloween shoulder.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

On this XL episode, Carsten and Evan talk about updates from around the Six Flags chain! They also recap their recent visit to Kings Island.   They dive into Cedar Point opening in just a week, along with what's happening around the park and causeway.   Then, to wrap things up, Kyle and Rae share highlights from their recent Disney Cruise!  

Hour 2 opens with Marc Cox continuing coverage of local morning conditions and quickly pivots back into the Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act redistricting ruling, where he pushes back hard on Democratic criticism and argues the decision corrects decades of race-based district engineering. He frames the backlash as political panic over lost power rather than constitutional concern and explores how states like Illinois, Louisiana, and Missouri could see major map changes. The hour then turns to a St. Louis postal investigation after hundreds of pieces of mail were discovered dumped in North City, raising questions about mail security and federal accountability. Sports dominate the middle portion as Tom Ackerman joins to break down proposed NCAA Tournament expansion and the impact on mid-major programs like SLU, followed by analysis of the Cardinals' volatile but entertaining play style ahead of a weekend series against the Dodgers. The hour closes with “In Other News,” covering Greece tourism restrictions, a viral Six Flags roller coaster evacuation, rising elder-care costs impacting millennials, and speculation about a possible “Apprentice” reboot involving Don Jr. Hashtags: #SCOTUS #VotingRightsAct #Redistricting #USPS #StLouis #Cardinals #SLU #NCAABasketball #SixFlags #GreeceTravel #MarcCox

Good morning, St. Louis… or whatever version of “morning” you're operating on today. This episode of The Rizzuto Show kicks off exactly how you'd expect: half-awake, slightly unhinged, and immediately diving into nonsense that somehow turns into a full-blown deep dive on modern life.We start with the latest obsession sweeping teenagers and confusing adults everywhere — dirty sodas. Yeah, soda… but make it creamy, sugary, and somehow even more chaotic. What sounds harmless quickly turns into a real conversation about caffeine overload, energy drinks, and how today's “fun drinks” might be doing way more than just keeping people awake. It's funny until it's not… and then it's funny again because, well, this is a funny podcast.From there, we spiral (naturally) into nostalgia — Krispy Kreme lines, McDonald's mascots that definitely shouldn't exist, and the realization that we were basically raised feral. No GPS, no supervision, just vibes and bikes in the driveway. Turns out there's even a name for us now: Generation Goony. And honestly? It fits a little too well.We also hit on the chaos at Six Flags, where teens reminded everyone exactly why rules exist, leading to new chaperone policies that basically say, “Yeah… you're not trusted alone anymore.” Fair.Then things take a weirdly real turn when we talk about how social media filters have gotten so out of control that they're actually causing real-world problems — like people not being recognizable in emergencies. Which somehow leads us to creating what might be the worst (best?) reality show idea ever: Dukes of Haggard — where love is tested under the harsh light of reality and zero filters.It's messy, it's hilarious, it's slightly concerning, and it's exactly what you expect from a funny podcast that refuses to stay on track. Whether you're here for the laughs, the nostalgia, or the accidental life lessons, this episode has a little bit of everything — including reasons to maybe rethink that third energy drink.Welcome to another day with The Rizzuto Show — your favorite funny podcast that proves chaos is a lifestyle.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hour 2 opens with Marc Cox reacting to a packed Ethel Cain concert at The Factory, sparking generational jokes about dyed hair, goth culture, and shifting music trends before turning to King Charles' Washington visit and his well-received Boston Tea Party humor during a White House state dinner. Nicole Murray joins for a lighter segment about her studio getting catered breakfasts, leading to jokes about workplace perks and burnout, followed by a debate on modern dating expectations and first-date etiquette. The tone shifts back to severe weather coverage as the team revisits tornado warnings, hail damage, and storm safety decisions before Marc shares a personal tornado escape story from his childhood. The hour closes with political fire as Marc defends himself from listener backlash over tick-related comments and reacts to a Cincinnati teacher being fired after posting disappointment that Donald Trump survived a recent assassination attempt.

Send us Fan MailA 13-year-old goes to Six Flags and comes back with a story—she could tell right away that another parent had been drinking. No one told her. She just knew.That moment turns into a bigger conversation about what kids actually pick up on, how early they figure things out, and what it means when you think you're hiding your drinking—but you're not. Matt and Steve talk about being that parent, how relationships with kids quietly slip over time, and what changes when you're finally present and sober.What kids notice (even when you think they don't)Drinking to “feel normal” in everyday situationsHow connection with your kids slowly erodesWhy sobriety changes more than just your drinkingSupport the show

Welcome back to another daily comedy show where vacations are supposed to fix everything… but instead just give you new things to spiral about.Rizz returns from Mexico feeling refreshed, enlightened, and immediately concerned that he's officially become “Tommy Bahama Guy.” What starts as a peaceful, complaint-free getaway quickly turns into a full-blown identity crisis when he realizes the ironic resort wear is no longer ironic… it's just accurate. Add in a Frontier Airlines flight with exposed metal armrests (luxury, baby), and suddenly paradise doesn't seem so perfect.Oh—and did we mention the resort was bottomless? Yeah. Not fully nude. Just… enough to make eye contact uncomfortable.Back in St. Louis, the gang wastes no time getting back to what they do best: roasting each other, fighting trolls, and questioning society's biggest issues—like whether kids these days have style or just own 47 identical hoodies. Riz also shares his brief but spicy feud with a listener who escalated things all the way to calling the boss. Because nothing says “I'm not fragile” like tattling to management over a shorts conversation.Meanwhile, things take a turn toward the chaotic real world: Six Flags opens with an actual 100-person brawl (great start, guys), a water slide lawsuit that sounds like a Final Destination sequel, and a storm system rolling into St. Louis that has schools canceling activities and everyone questioning their life choices.It's the perfect mix of vacation stories, petty arguments, local chaos, and just enough existential dread to remind you why this daily comedy show exists—to laugh through the madness.So whether you're here for resort stories, theme park disasters, or just want to hear grown adults argue about polo shirts, welcome back. This is what happens when you give microphones to people who should probably still be on vacation.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Read my new book, "The Price of Becoming." www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk My Guest: Marcus Buckingham is a Cambridge graduate. He spent nearly 20 years at the Gallup Organization, where he co-created the StrengthsFinder assessment. He is a New York Times bestselling author of influential books, including First, Break All the Rules and Now, Discover Your Strengths. Currently, he leads the People + Performance research at the ADP Research Institute. Key Learnings When you start a business, it's all about love. Seven out of 10 businesses fail, so when you start a business as an entrepreneur, you love what you do, you love your clients, and you surround yourself with people who can love it as much as you do. You all have this passionate delusion that what you're doing is really important and it's gonna work.  Marcus sold his company in 2017 and calls it the biggest mistake of his career. His company was broken down into silos, and the conversation became about maximization, compliance, and efficiency.  "Love is born savoring, it lives in intelligence, but it dies from neglect. Love dies from forgetting."  (Pablo Neruda) When you stop talking about love, you destroy it. Before you sell or scale, ask: Will this lead to more customers falling in love with your company and more employees saying they love working there? If the answer isn't obvious yes, then don't do it. Great companies protect the founder's flame. Walt Disney, Truett Cathy and Chick-fil-A, Apple's passion for design, Southwest Airlines, and Herb Kelleher. When companies lose their connection to the founding passion, they become the machine. The machine doesn't have a soul, and people can all feel it. Love is the most powerful force in business. If you want to drive productive human behavior, repeat visits, advocacy, loyalty, collaboration, high performance, the precursor to that is love.  But we don't say the word. Marcus was with 30 C-suite executives, and they spent two hours talking about data. They couldn't even say the word, love. They came to say it about customers, but never about their own employees. The job of a leader is to change human behavior. You're not paid to hit a goal. You're paid to change behavior so that you hit various goals. You've got two choices: directive (which works temporarily) or designing experiences. If you want sustainable behavior change, experiences drive behaviors, which drive outcomes.  The best leaders are skilled experience makers. That email you just sent? It's an experience. That meeting? It's an experience. Onboarding? It's an experience. Every touchpoint is picking up what you're putting down. Culture is just a series of experiences.  Either you are getting people to say "I love that," or you've failed to change their behavior. "If you are faking your beliefs, I can smell it, and I don't want to follow it." Authenticity is manifested in your beliefs, and they better be coherent with who you authentically are. Your customs are the living manifestation.  The things you customarily do have got to flow from your authenticity and your beliefs. The best leaders have their ABCs line up beautifully - they are authentically who they are, you know exactly what they believe, and their customs bring those authentic beliefs to life. The biggest driver of engagement is your local team leader, not the culture of the company. The culture is like the river, but there's a lot of different eddies. You join a company, but the sun, the moon, and the stars of your work is that local leader. The most important decision you make is who you make the leader of that team. A, B, C: Authenticity, Beliefs, Customs. We reach for authenticity in our leaders. We don't want perfection; we want authenticity because that leads to prediction. If you are authentically you, then I can predict you. I'm not expecting you to be perfect. I want you to be predictable. The definition of love to Marcus: Love is an experience that helps me feel more fully myself over time. Which is flourishing. Most of us go through life balled up like an armadillo, surrounded by armor plating. But inside of us, we want to take what's inside and express it. Love is a forward-facing emotion. We're anticipating goodness, and we have to take the armor off one plate at a time.  A question for all leaders:  What are the things I could practically do to get people on my team to feel like they are safe enough to express their best self on this team? The five sequential feelings of love: Control: "What's this world you've invited me into, and how does it work? " Harmony: "You have to tell people that you know what they're feeling." Significance: "Do you know my story?" Warmth of Others: "Who's with me? How can they help?" Growth: "How will this experience make me more capable?" If a leader understands the five feelings, they have a blueprint to get your team where you want them to go.  Marcus's Audi story: he loved his Audi, then at the end of the lease, he got a robocall. "You are at the end of your lease. You have not turned in the car. You have one week remaining, or you will be charged $500." He wasn't planning to turn it in. He was planning to get another one. Next week, same robocall. He leaned out. It was jarring because he was excited, and Audi was pissed off. They lost him for five years. Audi didn't take harmony seriously. They don't design for experiences; they design for processes. The person at the dealership is in a different silo than the person writing the script for the robocall. No one creates a holistic experience map. We don't design for experiences; we design for processes. Go to a hospital. It's one handoff after another. The person who's supposed to hold the narrative together is you, the patient. The whole thing has been designed for efficiency, not for a holistic experience. Undesigned experiences lead to unpredictable outcomes. Disney builds a berm around the whole park so you can't see out. You can't see the Red Roof Inn next door. Universal Studios doesn't do that. Six Flags doesn't do that. Why? Because Disney is trying to create a holistic experience. These companies think holistically about a human having an experience. The best leaders, when you ask "How do you motivate people?" always say "It depends." It depends on the person. At some point, the experience has got to be individualized. Don't start there. That's why this is sequential. Start with control, then harmony, then significance. Tell them you understand their story and what will change because of that story. The hospitalist movement in hospitals produced the best patient outcomes. They give each patient a guide all the way through the handoff process. Their entire job is to explain you to all the other healthcare professionals and to explain all the other healthcare professionals to you. As a result, you feel held. If you love anyone, you don't imagine they're ever finished. Love is a forward-facing emotion. Growth is the fifth feeling, not the first. We get this wrong when we think about designing love. We build it backwards. We start with growth and warmth. No. What's happening is feeling by feeling, we're taking off one plate of armor. If you haven't taken off the first four, you can't hit them with growth. The simplest thing leaders could do: check in with each of your people for 15 minutes, one by one, every week. Ask them:  How'd you feel about last week?  What are you working on this week?  How can I help?  Do that 52 times a year with each person individually, and you'll hit control, harmony, and over time significance. Marcus is creating an app with an AI design partner. He doesn't want his kids to grow into a world accepting loveless schools, loveless hospitals, loveless workplaces. The app will have a slider: loving/unloving. Let's call it what it is. It's love or not love. It's not okay to live in a loveless world, and we should call out unloving when we see it. Reflection Questions What would happen if you asked yourself before every major decision: "How does this help our customers love us more? How does this help our employees love working here more?" Are you designing experiences or just optimizing processes? What's one touchpoint in your customer or employee journey that feels mechanical and could be redesigned to feel more human? Which of the five feelings (control, harmony, significance, warmth of others, growth) are you strongest at creating for your team? Which one are you weakest at, and what's one thing you could do this week to improve it?
