A study conducted by Sales Enablement Pro found that 37% of leaders consider increasing revenue while minimizing costs for their employees to be one of their greatest challenges. So how can you maximize the impact of your investments while building your sales tech stack?Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Win Win  Podcast. I am your host, Shawnna Sumaoang. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully.Here to discuss this topic is Tiffany Jones, the vice president of sales strategy and field operations at HackerOne. Thank you for joining us, Tiffany. I would love for you to tell us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role.Tiffany Jones: Thank you for having me. I’m Tiffany Jones, I am at HackerOne. I lead strategy operations and the enablement team at HackerOne. But I’ve been in the space for almost 15 years now. Before HackerOne, I was at DocuSign leading operations there from a hundred million through IPO to well over a billion in revenue. SS: I am excited to have you here today and you obviously have extensive experience as a leader in go-to-market strategy and operations. Based on that experience, can you tell us about some of the challenges facing go-to-market teams today? TJ: Yeah, I think one of the biggest challenges that we face from a go-to-market team perspective is how we think about growth in this new economy. Pre-COVID it was a pretty standard path that we were growing quarter over quarter, year over year. COVID had a ton of disruptions to that process. There were some big ups for some companies and some big downs for others. Really in the tech SaaS space, there was a lot of ups. And so right now, from a go-to-market perspective, we’re all just struggling to figure out, like, how do you repeat that year-over-year growth and get back to that same equilibrium. SS: Absolutely. And tell us about the role of revenue operations in this current landscape. How can RevOps teams help organizations really overcome some of these new challenges that we’re seeing, particularly in the growth sector? TJ: Yeah, it’s a great question. I think a lot of times the revenue operations part of the organization gets swept under the rug when it comes to thinking about the solutions for this, but, in my experience, we're front and center, and we play a role in how we think about the teams being organized and how they’re incentivized and building out those structures so that we can get back to that growth level, as well as with the tech stack that’s necessary, and the sales process that goes along with that to amp up the productivity of the sales team so we can get well-oiled machines with the right people in seat in the right roles to achieve those results. SS: I love that. And I think, as you stated, a key focus for a lot of operations leaders is really driving sales productivity. What are some of the key ways that RevOps can help businesses really optimize sales productivity? TJ: Yeah, the one that always comes to mind is systems. But there are a number of things for me that really help optimize productivity. There’s the territory design that you end up deploying in your organization. There’s the sales process that you ask each of your individual sellers within your organization to go through. And then there’s the tech staff that they actually operate in for that sales process. Aligning all three of those things that you have, when you say productivity, you’re not just talking about squeezing as many dollars out of an individual person as humanly possible and treating people more like machines every day, but really like how do you optimize their experience as sellers so that you’re asking them to do what’s most beneficial for not only themselves, but the company with the right tools at the right time, like really optimizing their experience? I find it to be really, really important. SS: Absolutely. And, obviously one of our core audiences is enablement and sales productivity is absolutely top of mind for many enablement leaders as well. In your opinion, how can revenue operations and enablement partner together to improve sales productivity?TJ: I think it all really starts with the sales process, thinking through what you actually want your sales team to do on a day-to-day basis, like the way that you want them to interact with customers, with other people internally, and with your tools in Sprint Center, and that’s something that the operations and enablement teams need to partner on in order for that to be something that you roll out and the sales team adopts, because you need it to not only work from a theoretical perspective, but you need the backend architecture of those systems to work together to deliver that experience for them to operate in.I have the benefit in my current role of Managing both an enablement team and operations team. And it’s been amazing this quarter as we put together our key projects for the year to see how those are intertwined from a process go-to-market systems perspective and the sales process that we want to layer on top of that and how those project plans really are on top of each other. It’s not, A waterfall effect where someone’s working on this and the next team takes it over. They very much are partnered hand in hand to deliver an optimized solution for the sales team. SS: And you talked a lot about the process component but there’s also a lot of kind of joint shared ownership around the tech stack. I think that’s a really critical area of partnership between enablement and revenue operations. They, I, At least in my experience, are often trying to make sure that they’re building and optimizing that for their go-to-market teams. What are some of the key components from your perspective of an effective tech stack in today’s sales landscape?TJ: Oh, it’s a difficult question. I feel like the landscape is ever-changing right now. There’s so much consolidation going on that there’s a constant evaluation, at least in my team, from my perspective of: are we using the right tools for the right purposes? I think when we talk about evaluating the tech stack, it’s not all a consolidation game.I don’t think the end goal is to get to one or two systems that limit the number of clicks or logins they have, but essentially using the best of every product in a way that makes sense from a systems architecture perspective. And I keep saying architecture because I think it’s such an important part of when you have a successful sales system running. So, how are you clicking through to some of your tools? Are you doing it out of a home base or are you asking people to go back into a single sign-on tool and navigate between different tabs at different points in the day? I think you get the enablement aspect, which is here are the best of these tools.Here’s how I want you to send emails, or to record calls, or to follow up on, and send out material to your end customers. But without the operations team, those can become very siloed events. And you need that operations team in the background, thinking about how they tie all of that information and data together so that the sales team is experiencing a much more optimized way that they’re working with the tools SS: Absolutely. And this might lead to. Lead into the next question a little bit, but I’d love to understand, what are some of your best practices for evaluating solutions to identify the right ones that also support your overarching go-to-market strategy? TJ: Yeah, in a perfect world, I would love to do an RFP on everything that we want to do and take a broad swath look at what’s really out there in the market.It’s rarely what happens. Sometimes we try to pull back and do a little bit of that, but from a best practice perspective, whenever we’re presented with a need for something, I ask two questions. The first one is, do I have an existing tool that solves this and at what level does it solve it? And does that solution meet my sellers where they’re at and what they’re trying to do? And the second question is so important. It’s very easy to answer the first one. Again, there’s a lot of consolidation going on in the tech stack world for sales, and so you probably have a tool that does whatever your team is asking to go look at right now. But is it meeting the sellers where they’re at?Is it in the space that they want to do that activity at? Does it fit into that sales process flow appropriately? And I think that key part of the evaluation really helps to build an optimal text stack for everyone to use. And so it might be that they need to do that while they’re sitting inside of their CRM.And so because that’s where they’re always doing it, it makes sense to have something that either is embedded there or is a tool that the CRM already offers, but perhaps it doesn’t matter. They’re doing it on their phone or one-off or in Slack or Teams. And meeting them where they’re at, I think, is the, is a really important aspect of making sure that you have a toolset that your team is actually using.SS: Oh, absolutely. And how does an enablement platform like Highspot strategically fit into your sales tech stack? TJ: For us, it’s a central point of information, right? We’re using it to collect information, distribute information, both internally as well as externally, as well as using the learning module to test that information.So it’s very much an information hub for us. We use it to again, leak out to other tools that we have or bring things from those tools in as that central point. But we need that, repository is the wrong word because it’s so much more than that, but we need that centralized point.For a long time, CRM was supposed to be that centralized point. And that was where the industry was really going from a tech perspective. But it’s just not where our salespeople are. The CRM is an afterthought of filling in information. So more and more we’re finding. That pane of glass that’s more like Highspot where the information itself is where our salespeople want to be. And that’s where we see it as part of our tech stack today. SS: I love that. How do you measure the impact of your technology investments on your strategic business initiatives?  TJ: The measurement one is always so tricky for me. I don’t have a great answer for that because it’s not as simple when I buy tech stack pieces, there’s always an ROI calculator everyone has and they look at, and they show me all the metrics of the time saved by my sales team and or like I’ll remove this tool and so on overall cheaper costs and all of those are true and they’re a good way to measure.That’s the ROI that we’re getting and it’s great for talking with my procurement team on. But the reality of the measurement is how much is my team in it. How much are they actually using it? How many logins are they doing? How many edits are they making in the tool? Are they doing it because I’m forcing them into it?Because I put a mandatory course in? Or are they doing it because it’s where they want to be? And again, a great example is more and more for our culture at HackerOne, Slack is where everyone wants to be. And so I know that if I put things in that medium, that I’ll have a higher use of it. And that’s what I mean when evaluating, like, where people are at.I’m only going to get the ROI on that tool that I’m buying if someone’s using it. And I know that they’re using it if it’s integrated in Slack because that’s where they’re at every day. And so that usage is really what’s the most important metric for me when thinking about, am I buying, or are you? Do I have usable tools on the system?SS: Absolutely. And that’s definitely a common thread that we’ve heard when we talk to other operations leaders, for sure. Last question for you, Tiffany, how do you think technology innovations like AI will continue to impact the sales landscape? And do you have any advice for other leaders on how to keep pace with these innovations?TJ: AI might be the death of me and my role sooner rather than later. It’s interesting. Everyone has a copilot, everyone is using AI, there are some that are quick in front of it, and some are better than others, but it’s just the reality of every tool that we’re using, and 90 percent of the emails that I get on tech stack related things are around how this AI is going to make my team so much smarter, they’re going to spend less time doing research, they’re going to have these really personable emails that are sent out. The reality is if everyone’s using the same AI tools for the same things, they’re not like envelope emails are going to start to look the same. And it might work for a little bit, but it’s not going to be, it’s not gonna be the long-term benefit we see of AI. And so when I think about AI and how it’s popping up in all of our tool sets, what I’m really focused on is what each tool's AI does for my sales team and through, again, similar to Tech Stack, like how do I want them using it? At what point in the sales process is that the. The well-thought-through AI has the best advice or information to help support them. And being really intentional about which AIs they’re using at what point in time. And still pushing them to have that personable impact on what they’re doing. If it’s sending an email let it write some of that for you. But then don’t absolve them of doing the work of the research and double checking. Because I think that’s where it’s going to start to fail a lot of companies and a lot of leaders where they rely too heavily on it. Insult. I think in the next two years, people are going to have an operations team, like a full-time Co-pilot management role, or analyst role, just to make sure you’re curating those Co-pilots to not conflict with each other and to have the right answers. I think advice for other leaders outside of maybe getting in front of a role like that open is to be thoughtful about why is your team using that AI component. What value is it giving them at that point in time? And do you have another AI somewhere else that you have to think about? Is it going to give conflicting information or could someone use them differently? Or two different roles use them and end up in a spot where you’re now, at odds with each other within your own organization. So I do think you have to start to look at those AIs as almost their own tech stack within the tech stack and be really thoughtful about your approach. SS: Very interesting and amazing advice for our audience. Tiffany, thank you so much for joining us today. I really appreciated it.TJ: Yeah, this was great. Thank you so much. SS: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win Win Podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

I've got a returning guest, butch Rigby here, otherwise known as Kansas city's George Bailey, as I've described my, uh, my longtime friend and, uh, and partner in crime on, uh, Kansas city issues, downtown development issues, et cetera. And, uh, Bush, it's great to see you. Oh, Kevin. It's always great to be here. Matter of fact, it.feeling like Savannah, Georgia. It is. I mean, it's already in the 70s and it was the 70s in February or something. That was crazy. So I know everything's blooming. All the stuff I planted last fall is looking good. So I'm happy. I was worried that everything bloomed too early and it was going to get frozen out. But I don't think so. I know. I think we're like straight into lake season pretty soon. So that's all right. Well, butch, I wanted to have you in today to talk about.the baseball stadium issue in particular, because it's a hot topic here locally. There is a proposal on the ballot coming up in April here in Kansas City and Jackson County to extend a sales tax, an existing sales tax that will expire in a few years.to help fund a new baseball stadium for the Royals in a downtown location in the Crossroads area. And then also provide funding for the Chiefs for a series of improvements to Arrowhead. And Butch and I go way back on this issue. We had a lot of fun years ago talking about the potential for downtown baseball when we were both volunteering with the Urban Society of Kansas City.That's correct. That's right. Shout out to all of our urban society buddies. Oh yeah. They knew who they are. And I think it's interesting, maybe where we could start Butch is to kind of put things in context for what we talked about. That was probably now 20 years ago when we were getting involved in that. Just about. Yeah. And so that was when the Glass family owned the Royals. And...Kevin (02:16.186)Downtown was coming along, but it was still a little bit more in its infancy of redeveloping. And there was a push on the part of a lot of people to try to get the Royals to consider coming downtown. And we took on this crazy volunteer task of looking at all the different sites that there were downtown and trying to get people to analyze them and...put their thoughts together. That was, in retrospect, that was kind of a wild thing. And we had a couple hundred people who volunteered with it, as far as I remember, right? We did. And, you know, of course you have to remember 30 years ago when I bought my first building down in what was then Film Row, 19th and Wyandotte, you know, before the days of Crossroads, it was a ghost town. And I'm not kidding. I mean, it was literally...On a Friday night, we would hold these Christmas and July parties to celebrate the history of Film Row. And we were the only thing going on down there. Now, you know, we were begging for tenants. I had a few buildings that I bought and I was having a challenge keeping a coffee shop tenant open. Certainly wasn't, you know, having any luck with restaurants or anything like that. That's just natural when you've had, you know, a big daytime population in office towers in the, inside the loop.Uh, but you really have, uh, I think we had 2 ,500 residences downtown, which isn't enough to support really anything. Yeah. And, uh, you know, at that time, uh, you know, kind of spin forward a dozen years or so, and, uh, things are happening. You know, they're announcing, uh, you know, the, the big push for the, not only the power and light, but to get H &R blocked downtown to do, uh, get the Sprint Center downtown. And, uh, we held the halfway.mark of the development at Screenland at my theater for a while. And, you know, that was a time when we were all thinking, hey, there are several good options for baseball because it meant more and more people making downtown what it used to be. 30 years before I was there, everything was downtown. Shopping was downtown. Movies were downtown. If you wanted to see a first run picture, it was downtown. It was a destination for a reason.Kevin (04:38.482)And that was gone. And so we saw that opportunity. And of course, back then, like you say, there were probably eight good sites because, you know, they were going to be kind of on their own and developed around them as opposed to the new, the new situation. Now, when we have a, an owner who really wants to be downtown and reflects that same passion for a good, strong downtown, um, you know, they're limited to a couple of sites and they have to take into consideration.all of the other ancillary effects of the Royals being down there. And of course the ancillary effects of the reason that I support a downtown stadium. So I think you're one of the people that I really would enjoy talking to about this because you have your interests across many areas. And so obviously you care about the city and about the downtown and the urban core.but you also have an almost unimpeachable track record of caring about everything local, Kansas City, small businesses. And as we look at the proposal that's on the table today, and that's really been, I think, about the primary source of controversy has been that the Royals have chosen a site in the Crossroads area. It's funny, they keep calling, you know, in the paper keeps calling it like the East Crossroads. I think of it.personally like North Crossroads, if you want to call it that. It's literally the edge of downtown, edge of the loop. The loop hopefully will be erased. But no, I mean, look, I'm in business to make money. I always have been. But I don't believe real estate is a commodity. I don't believe you just develop strip centers. I mean, there's a business doing that, but it's not what excites me. What excites me is the challenge of empty buildings becoming full.I mean, when I was down in the crossroads back in 94, my friends just couldn't understand it. They go, it's dead down there. And I thought, well, you know, they got to do something with Union Station. They've got to do something with that big piece of land, maybe a hotel at 17th and Central, you know, and why not? And of course, things got better. We get the Performing Arts Center, world -class, and the Union Station was completely renovated.Kevin (06:59.762)And a lot of things happened that in unison, but we were always able to maintain old buildings, small tenancies. To this day, I have, you know, 14 buildings. I have 200 tenants. They're all small businesses. And those tenants range from single office tenants to small restaurants, to law firms, to salons. I mean, you know, 63rd street, for example, between Oak and Rock Hill.was 70 % vacant as a corridor in 2014. And now we're 100 % occupied and it's all small business. And small business got us through COVID. Small business stayed. They're resilient. You know, they're not making corporate decisions from afar. So, you know, being downtown, a lot of people say, well, how could you possibly want the baseball stadium in the crossroads? And, you know, I was initially,like everybody else, assuming the East Village was the spot. It made all the sense. You could do $2 billion worth of development. And I slowly came around to understand why the location they picked was the one they picked, and this is before they announced it. But I started thinking about the fact that the city of Kansas City is responsible for tax shortfalls, sales tax shortfalls at the Power and Light District and all that development. And, you know,That's just part of the deal. I mean, if you really look at all the ancillary revenues they get because of the effects of the Paranlight district, it's probably still a positive for the city. However, why would you try to be far enough away that people get there, park, go to a few bars around there and leave and create competition for yourself? Where the location they picked is for the most part, the Kansas city star building.a newer church building that already they've outgrown, a lot of vacant ground, and then a block of buildings that of course, most people would like to see them not tear those buildings down, but in any development, you will lose some buildings. And they do have to have some ancillary space for parking, for season ticket parking, for offices, a little revenue from a hotel, things to offset the cost.Kevin (09:24.914)And so I started looking at it and I said, it's also two blocks from the streetcar as opposed to eight blocks. And if we are going to grow our habit and try to get a, you know, what we call an intermodal transportation option, that is non -car options downtown, whether it be Uber or the streetcar or other forms of transportation, you know, we've got to encourage people to use the streetcar. We've got to encourage people to use Uber. So.It became apparent to me that the Kansas City Star Building was going to do nothing. And, you know, so I did come to support it. Now, do I support it unconditionally? No, I think there are some challenges that they must deal with and get out in front of. Parking is the number one. Security is a close second. Respect for the people who are being displaced is probably up there at a tie for number one. And,You know, I've had some talks, I've had some opportunities to talk to the Royals and to talk to the architects. And I do genuinely believe that John Sherman wants to do the right thing. I do believe John Sherman does not want chain restaurants. He's a Kansas City guy. People treat him like he's some hedge fund billion around New York who just landed in our town. No, he's, he lives in Jackson County. He's very charitable. He and his wife are very involved in the community.and always have been, and I think it's really almost unfair to characterize him just because you're mad about a baseball stadium. And so I have felt that the location is good. And I think it makes a lot more sense, especially if the funding can be extended to cover the freeway another three blocks, or two blocks, whatever the extension of the freeway cover is, because then you genuinely...have a walkable community. Yeah. I mean, I think if we just talk about the location, just for a second, just that aspect, I feel like I was one of the few people that never liked the East Village site. Yeah. And I always felt like that site was too far from the streetcar. Kansas City is not New York. We're not used to.Kevin (11:42.418)We don't have a population used to taking public transportation and walking long distances. And so if we ever, my feeling was if you really wanted people to use the streetcar as an amenity to get back and forth to games, which would be a good thing for the city. Oh, absolutely. Because then people could populate the entire urban core. They could park it at the plaza. They could park at the riverfront, you know, any number of places and then hop on the streetcar and get there. And I think that would be a good thing for our city.But I've always felt like it needed to be much closer than the East Village site was. Not to mention, the East Village site is surrounded by a bunch of government buildings, which basically close at four or five o 'clock. It's kind of a dead zone downtown. And then east of there, you've got a lot of just really social service issues that are really problematic for thinking about the kind of atmosphere.that you have in a ball game. And so I think from that standpoint, I was never in love with the East Philly site. And so when they announced the Crossroads site, I think if I were looking at it like if it was a blank slate, if all of that was empty today, it makes a lot of sense. And because it's proximity to so many other things, proximity to Power and Light District.the ability for all those things to build off of each other, which is something we talked about years ago, like the virtues of an urban ballpark is it becomes like a one plus one equals three situation for entertainment and other uses. And so it seemed to me like the major issues from the site standpoint were the existing businesses that are being displaced. I didn't care about the Casey Star Building at all. I think it's hideous. I'd be happy to see it gone, but.I know not everybody agrees with me on that, but I think it's hideous. But there are all those, you know, a number of really cool businesses that you and I have probably both been to and really enjoy in that area. And so it's kind of a question of like what happens, what happens to them? Well, and I couldn't. Oh, that's okay. I'll edit that out. Nice ringtone. Yeah, I thought I turned it off. Sorry about that. I forgot to turn it off. Anyway.Kevin (14:03.058)I couldn't agree more. You you have the displacement of those businesses is a big deal. Yeah. Um, and you know, the Royals will have to step up and I believe they will. And I believe they've made this indication. They will step up and not only make those businesses whole, but make sure they can relocate close. If not better, uh, they can, uh, you know, whether it be rent deficiencies or anything else they have to do to make sure those businesses can thrive.Um, you know, in a perfect world, yeah, you'd like to leave Oak street and leave those businesses and actually encapsulate them as part of the stadium. But it's my understanding that, you know, the new green dirt farm might be in right field. And, uh, and that's probably one of the tougher ones. Sure. Um, the green dirt farm, they've invested incredible amount of money and a lot of time and a lot of effort and they're getting ready to open after, you know, it's not easy to set up a cheese making. Oh, and there's such a phenomenon.They are such a phenomenal business. But the Royals are very well aware of that. And they do have, I think they do have time under the construction schedules to relocate them and pay for all of the things they will need to do to get them back up and running again and hopefully even better. But it, you know, it's important to note that, you know, while if you skip that block, you know,does the stadium become as self -sufficient as it should be? And remember, there's a billion dollars in private money going into this project. To me, I do listen to some of the bar owners and people who have been very vocal about how opposed they are to it.And I get it. I empathize. I, I, I, you know, I will tell you, I own a building at 1701 McGee down the crossroads. It faces what will be the new baseball stadium. And we are going to be in the direct impact zone of construction. I mean, all my tenants are going to have to be facing all the perils of a, you know, a billion dollar project going up directly across the street. Um, I think that the, uh, you know, Royals have already announced they have.Kevin (16:15.474)construction management plans, they intend on busing workers in from remote lots. I mean, all of these things will go a long way to help. Some people will say, oh, well, you'll make so much money because you own the building. No, the building is rented. It's always been rented. I'm not changing tenants. I just signed a seven -year lease extension knowing the ballpark was slated for that spot with a small office tenant who's, they're part of the church next door and I give them a discounted rent and always have.You know, I've locked myself into a long -term deal and I won't ever walk away from any of my tenants. I mean, you know, you spoke earlier, I genuinely do believe in small business and I genuinely, you know, I know that I would never rent one of my buildings, you know, to a national credit tenant to, you know, to get double the rent and kick out a local business. I just, just, I'm not in the business, you know.purely for the money. I make money. I will be the first to say I've been very fortunate with my business success, but really that's due to all my small tenants. I don't remember that those are the ones that brought me here, you know. And so when I do support the baseball stadium where it is, I do that with an absolute solid belief that it will benefit the Crossroads. I think that we do have to, you know, maybe,create a permit street parking for businesses only, or maybe you hand out scan cards for the day so it can't be baseball parking, but at the same time, identify parking structures. Don't just announce to the public, oh, we've got enough parking, we've done a study. I mean, I'm here from the government, I'm here to help you. I mean, we probably do need to get some very,clear messaging out there that there are a lot of people in the crossroads who do support the Royals. But we've got to back it up with understanding the real issues people fear. There's a lot of work there to do on a lot of those logistics. And I would say for anybody also curious about Butch's background on the previous podcast that I had him on, we kind of walked through his whole story starting from the very beginning. And I think it's really interesting. I actually think it'sKevin (18:36.882)for especially a lot of young people to think about a career path. So I think one of the other aspects of all this, I guess I want to come back a little bit to the small business side of things and putting your real estate hat on. And if you were advising the Royals on like how to handle the real estate side of helping those small businesses, because,I would imagine most of them are most, if not all, are probably tenants. They probably don't own their buildings. So they're on a lease of some kind. So like if the Royals buy the property, the building owner gets paid. And then the business, you know, they're like, okay, you got to move somewhere. What are the sorts of things that the Royals could do or that, you know, you might think about from a real estate standpoint for a tenant in that situation? Well, of course, you know,The tenant has rights under a lease, you know, just because the Royals buy the building. If they are forcing or condemning the tenant out of the space, then they have a financial obligation. This is just, you know, pure legal talk. They, you know, they have a financial obligation to make the tenant whole again. And that goes without saying. And, you know, condemnation is not like the old days. It's not a popular thing. They do have the rights of condemnation and you need them. But,You know, they're very, very much skewed toward the person being purchased or bought out or put out of business. Now, with that said, if I were advising the Royals and I think they listen to this, I think they feel similarly, if you're going to look at the budget and you're going to look at the overall scheme of how much things are going to cost, you know, you might be able to get carpeting at a little lower cost with a lot of work and competitive bid. You might be able to get a lot of different things and, you know, save money.This is on a place to start trying to cut costs. This is a place that you get a little more than generous for a lot of reasons. The number one, because it's the right thing to do. A small bar owner's bar is as important to her as the Kansas City Royals baseball team are to the ownership group. It's like I say about small office tenants. I pay just as much attention to a single tenant user because from the perspective of both small businesses,Kevin (21:01.17)This is their life and they probably work just as hard as the Royals do, you know, and, and, and the chiefs and everybody else. And so treat them with not only fairness, but with a generous nature. Now, if any, you know, they've got to have, you know, it's gotta be reasonable. They've got to have some, um, you know, financials to back up, you know, their business and they've got to be paid. But, you know, I, I'd say to the Royals, you know, let's get out in front of this right now.And I also think the general public needs to see who the Royals are. I mean, right now they're, you know, they're, they're working hard. I've, I've had some interactions with them and I have found it to be positive. I was at the Crossroads Community Association meeting and while it was a rather, you know, lively meeting for the most part, we put together a community benefits agreement. You know, some of the things we thought were important that the Royals needed to hear about.public safety, architectural integrity within the neighborhood. And I think there's gonna be a pretty good community benefits agreement announced pretty soon. There is the Community Improvement District, which is a, if you get 51 % of the owners of the property around there to agree to it, you combine a small sales tax and a property tax.and you start employing security guards and trash pickup and cleanup. Well, the Royals could be a big part of that. And I would advise the Royals give back more than you get. In other words, you know what, you're going to participate in security on game night. Why don't you participate in a security patrol seven nights a week? All of a sudden the crossroads is that much better off because the Royals were there. If you're going to participate in, you know, parking and, and, you know, some of the, uh, you know, you're going to,park cars there, why don't you help participate in identifying or maybe even building a little bit of parking. You know, some of it for the neighborhood. There's a, I believe the ballpark site also includes, you know, a rather decent sized lot on Locust and during construction, make that open to all, you know, of the neighbors to park in during construction. There's a lot of things they could do that would be a very small percentage of the budget.Kevin (23:24.178)that would be very helpful to the neighborhood in the long run and alleviate some of the concerns. Yeah. How do you, how do you think about the parking question? Let's say when the stadium is done. And I know you and I probably think similarly about parking, but we're, we think differently than most people think. And I think your, your average Kansas city is obviously very used to the situation today.at sports complex and it's easy, it's not cheap anymore, but it's easy and you can see the stadium and everything else. Parking in a downtown situation is really different and there is a lot of parking downtown. There's actually a whole lot of existing parking in garages and on streets, but there's also more and more competition for that use, especially depending on, you know,the time of day that a game might, that people might actually start coming to a game. So how do you, how would you think about that? How do you talk about that issue with other people? Well, when I am talking about the issue, of course, the number one fear that comes up is, Hey, on game night, I might as well shut down the record bar. I might as well shut down the brick or I might as well shut down my business. It isn't particularly catering to baseball crowds, you know? Um, and, and, uh, because.No one's going to come down to the ballpark or down to the, to the crossroads if they feel that, well, it's a ball game, there'll be no parking and I'm not going to go pay $20 to park to go get a beer or listen to music. So, you know, my first thought is we must have a restrictive street parking, you know, program in place. And, you know, if, if, if we need to be, we'll be a little progressive about it at the same time, let's identify clearly identify on an app.that you can look at on your phone, that any website you can look at that says, here are your parking garages, touch the parking garage. It'll tell you how many spaces are available. We're reserve a space right now. Once people feel comfortable where they like to park and where they want to be downtown and they know where they're going, they're going to have a whole lot more, you know, ease in, in, in going to the game. I remember when I was a kid, I went to the, I'mKevin (25:45.778)This will tell you how old I am. I went to the Kansas City A's game at municipal and my dad knew just the right guy to park in his lawn for 25 cents. And we did it every game. But I mean, you know, that, that idea that, that, uh, you familiarize the general public. Um, there's going to be a lot of our population that just is really going to be resistive to going down, down to a ball game. But then there's a whole new generation. They're just used to it. They go down there. And I think the, the job will be.clearly identify that available parking to clearly put it on a map, let people see it. You know, we're from Missouri, show me. Yeah. Also worth noting that when we built the Sprint Center, we didn't build any new dedicated parking for that. Correct. And by all accounts, that hasn't hurt the Sprint Center at all. No. And I think that, you know, for the Royals, it's looking at the perspective of the businesses around it. I mean, theWhen you're inside the loop, you know, you've probably had your business there and always park, parking's always been a concern. You know, we developed the crossroads, you know, we as a city and all of us developers and have lived off a rule that allowed for no street, I mean, no off street parking. If you had 3 ,500 square feet or less, if you have historic buildings, there's no requirement for street parking and allow those buildings are historic. So, you know, that was done with the idea of more and more public transit, which you and I both.support, but it also did lead to a pretty reasonable dependence upon street parking. So let's save that street parking. Let's say that in front of every building that is a non -office or maybe all the buildings, you have to get a little, if you want to park there, it's for a business. It's sort of like during COVID, they gave part of the parking to restaurants and they let them utilize it. Well,We do that and you get a little ticket and you scan it and put it in your, you don't have to scan it. You just put it in your, you know, dashboard. And if an officer comes by and they check the scan and it's valid, good. You know, maybe the, you know, brick Riverside or company gives you the ticket or maybe the hair salon, you know, or maybe who's ever opened the brick, you know, or maybe the music, you know, venue does that. So, you know, again, and a lot of those buildings will have their own parking that, that, uh,Kevin (28:08.306)that they rely on, but a lot of them, a lot of them don't. I have a parking lot at 17th and Oak and I will only utilize that for my tenants. And I've had a couple of small businesses request, well, would I rent them some nighttime parking? The answer is yes, I would. Before I need baseball parking revenues, I'd rather have, you know, a small restaurant that knows they'll stay in business because that parking lot will be off limits for baseball.And I think there are other landlords that will make those designations and then we can really call out how many available baseball spots we have. And it's, it is a lot. Yeah. And another aspect of this, which, you why to me, the location as close to the street car as you could get a stadium was important was it, it completely extends the range and location at which somebody might park if they're driving in, say from.Johnson County, or if you're driving in from north of the river or whatever, by the time a new stadium would open downtown, you would have a, the streetcar would be open from the river to UMKC. And so you could effectively come anywhere into that part of the city. And I know some people may hate hearing this too, because they don't like that idea, but you could drive into let's say the Westport area and you could get a drink before the game at Westport and then hop on the streetcar and take it to the game.Oh, yeah, and you could do that. You could go to the plaza. You could go to anywhere up and down Main Street or in that corridor in Midtown. And so the the idea that all of the parking has to be like right near the stadium, even for commuters, is it's a different in this situation. And it is. And, you know, maybe there's a deal made with UMKC to utilize that large garage on game nights. Maybe there's a and I think it's a great example. You know, people talk about, well,Is it really going to pay? Should we be supporting the Royals? You know, well, you know, there's 81 games a year. And you're talking about now, instead of going to the ballpark, pulling in the lot, seeing the game and leaving, you may well be getting off work and getting some dinner. You will have the easy ability in our town to go to Regaza or go to Hill Central or go to one of the restaurants up and down the streetcar line.Kevin (30:31.89)have an early dinner, have a couple of drinks, get on the street car, go to the game, come out of the game. And again, getting back on the street car, especially if you're walkable from the street car, which is a small percentage, but a nice percentage, you don't have to worry about the car. And so we'll learn that. I mean, I've often said, don't force people on the street car, encourage them, excite them about it. And quite frankly, our street car has been phenomenally successful in making it free.I think was the key to success. So yeah, I mean, we do need to, you know, we do need to understand in the big picture, you know, if nothing else, the crossroads wasn't truly successful for coffee shops and restaurants and things like that until we had enough people living downtown who were there all the time and who were there at night and who were not just driving in.And that happened because of the power and light and because of sprint and because of all the energy that was created and the baseball stadium will do more of the same. More people will live downtown. I believe we have 32 ,000 people living downtown right now. And I wouldn't be surprised to see 42 ,000 people downtown in five years, six years, especially with the baseball stadium there. And then if you really think about, you know, how many cars do you need? Does anybody know? Well,9 ,000 for a 34 ,000 seat stadium, 1 ,500 will already be included in the ballpark project. So you've got 7 ,500 spaces that you're really looking at, and about 3 ,500 of those will be in the crossroads. I mean, you start dividing these up, and then you look at the intermodal transportations again. You look at the street car, you look at Uber, you look at those things, and you gotta only believe that number will grow.Right. So, you know. Yeah, we talked about this or joked about it with my wife, who you know. And it's funny how basically everybody our age and younger when they are going out these days for entertainment, they're taking Uber. Absolutely. There are very few people that are driving around. The people my age and older tend to still be driving. No matter what they're doing, they're going to hit a couple of bars, they're going to party hop or whatever it is, they're probably still driving.Kevin (32:54.45)the younger crowd is much more used to just using Uber instead. You know, it's interesting, you know, I've probably like you, I mean, I've got a million really fond memories of Kauffman Stadium. And I started going there in the 70s when I was like a little kid. And when the great run that we had at the teams in the late 70s. And the stadium is...it's a better stadium now than it was then with the improvements they made 20 years ago. So I've always, I mean, I have tons of great memories, but I've, you know, I've traveled enough to know and been around to enough cities to know that it's a terrible location for a baseball stadium where it is now. And we can all argue and debate about maybe what the best or ideal location is, but there's just no question that baseball exists.so much better when it's part of a neighborhood and it can feed off of other activities and be mutually supportive. I think you just said the magic word neighborhood because I have heard John Sherman quoted as saying, I want to build America's next neighborhood ballpark. I mean, I remember going to Boston because I wanted to see the Red Sox play at Fenway and I got off the subway and I, whatever transportation we were on.the ballpark and I keep looking around, then I looked up and I go, oh, this is the ballpark. It blended right in and you see these, you know, like Wrigley Field, you see the excitement of people all around you walking into the ballpark and you can see the buildings across the way and you can see, you know, the noise of a city and you know, it's a neighborhood attraction and it's a large one, but it looks a whole lot better than an empty glass building and a big flat parking lot. Let's face it. Yeah.Yeah, no doubt. Yeah. And there's just something a little bit more, almost just magical about the experience of being in a city, coming up to a game and the excitement that happens with that. I'm not saying that there wasn't any of that at Coffin Stadium. There was two. Oh yeah. But it's just, it's a completely different feeling to it. And I don't remember going to municipal stadium back in the day. I probably did when I was like a little, little kid.Kevin (35:18.486)Yeah. The huddle club for the chiefs, you know, for a dollar you sit on the grassy hill at the ballpark. Those days are probably over the one dollar ticket. But yeah, you know, and, and, and probably the single most important reason to have the ballpark downtown and where it is, is because instead of all of the money being captured by Jackson County in the Island known as the sports complex, it is now being spread out amongst small businesses. And instead of a game time, you know,being limited to the time it takes to park and the time it takes to get out. Game time can be right after work and you don't have to go anywhere if you're downtown or whatever restaurant you'd like to eat at along the way. And, you know, the truth is as long as we can preserve the integrity of the Crossroads neighborhood, it can only be a win for the, you know, for the neighborhood. And there are a lot, I've spoken to a lot of people in the Crossroads.who believe the same way, but all of us believe that there are good things that can come out of this as long as the Royals will be, as they would say, team players, which I believe they are. Well, and I totally get and empathize with all of the people in the crossroads who care so deeply about that neighborhood. I mean, what you and others, many, many others have done over the last three decades or so is fantastic. And taking something,an area that was very, very quiet, to say the least. And it's really our best neighborhood in a lot of ways in the urban core now. It's so lively and interesting and fun, and there's a great diversity of things going on all the time. And it's continuing to grow and change and expand, which is fantastic to see. So I totally get the...the feeling that people have of being protective of that. And there are a lot of unique, creative businesses in the area. So I really hope the Royals, if they're successful with the ballot initiative, can find the right balance to keep people happy and enhance the neighborhood and really do something for the businesses that are there and make them feel valued.Kevin (37:44.886)because it is a special thing that we've done in Kansas City and I love to see it. Yep, me too. I think it would be, it can be a win -win. And I would hope that, you know, again, I come here as a 30 -year resident, so to speak, or business resident of the Crossroads and care deeply about it and very much, and you know, I think it's only a positive as long as it's done correctly. Yeah.But I don't care about that Casey star printing press building. No, no. I heard somebody at the Jackson County meeting the other day go, can you imagine you walking in this big, beautiful neighborhood and there's this giant big box, you know, big stadium there. And of course I didn't say it, but I was thinking, are you color buying the color green? That monolith is, I mean, I always thought it was kind of cool, but it's, it's the, I don't know what the use could be.possibly be. I've heard museum, but boy, that would be, uh, that would be a big museum. We have a lot of museums in this town. No doubt. And oh, by the way, the star got tax abatement for that building. Yes. And the church doesn't pay. Yeah. They got it twice. The church doesn't pay tax. So, you know, and another thing is we have all that ground in the East village that could A, be used for additional parking. And, and I think they could come up with the clever tram system to get people right over to the park if they didn't want to walk.And B, the church could be moved over there, I would hope. You know, there are strong presence down there. You know, I've heard all the arguments, oh, you know, it's going to, there's $31 million worth of real estate not being taxed. I go, well, it wasn't really being taxed too much anyway. Yeah. And, you know, if you go back to the, I remember the original vision for why we call it East Village anyway, which was, you know, the idea was the property owners and others were going to come together there and build a really cool neighborhood.and build an urban neighborhood. And that opportunity is still there. And that actually would still be, that would be an ideal solution for moving ahead with that part of downtown. And we can use the people, we can use the development, be a great place for just another wonderful urban neighborhood. Oh, absolutely. And more and more people living downtown and it'll be convenient to services and things like this. Absolutely.Kevin (40:07.316)All right, Butch, as we wrap it up here, do you have any other final thoughts or comments? Is there anything we didn't cover? Something I didn't ask? No, I mean, I think my final thought is, you know, for those people out in the audience today who are still very skeptical or very concerned, you know, with good reason, I'd say really, you know, look at some of the solutions and look at some of the other downtown baseball stadiums and how they have.been very successful with the area around it and reach out, talk, ask the Royals, make those questions public. Not, why are you doing it, but how can we make this work for all of us? And I believe if you really take the time to look at it, there are good solutions and then only better prospects for small businesses in the neighborhood.Butch, one of the things I've always loved about you, you're such a positive guy and you've always got like a positive outlook on whatever's going on. And I really appreciate that. I think that's great. I think that's well said. Thanks. All right. Well, thank you for joining me. Again, this is the Messy City podcast.

#TheShowKC is back for a new week! Jen loves Chris Pratt but a few episodes in, she is not a fan of Parks and Recreation, this still hurts Joey's feelings! #TheShowKC wanted to know what are things that are universally loved that you just do not like! We have a virtual scavenger hunt in Kansas City for floor tickets to see Xscape at the Sprint Center and attend the meet and greet but you have to find where Xscape is (virtually) hiding! At the Just For Her Event over the weekend, Jen asked people random questions for a round of Man On The Street! Right by the hallway of where KC 102.1 is, reads a sign that says "There are officially no more snakes," we may have figured out why.

Despite a quiet week with the Chiefs, Farzin brings back former Chiefs scout and current national scout for Ourlads.com, Dan Shonka, to the podcast. Dan helps break down Pat Mahomes as he goes into 2018. What should we keep an eye on from Mahomes during OTAs, training camp and the preseason? Can Mahomes succeed with the current offensive line? And will the Chiefs succeed with Andy Reid's play-calling? Dan answers all of that, plus much more. Also, one NBA executive says Kansas City will get an NBA team, but Farzin asks if the Sprint Center will allow it.

With the NFL draft now complete, Farzin predicts the depth chart and the Chiefs 53-man roster going into Week 1. Who makes the team and who falls short? Farzin will share that. With the Sprint-T-Mobile merger, can we expect a new name for the Sprint Center? Also, Farzin got an angry e-mail from someone.

There was a lot of ground covered on #TheShowKC today. Fall was here in a big way this morning with the chilly air. Jen is still crying over This Is Us...and apparently, everyone else is, too! We woke up to news that Hugh Hefner had passed away on Wednesday and track celebrity reaction for you. Truta is bowling Thursday night for a fundraiser (7p, No Other Pub in the Power and Light District), while Jen goes to the hockey game at Sprint Center. There are teenagers out there who could not care less about driving. We talk to some parents whose kids have had no desire to get their license -- and then some who can't wait. Then, Jen's dad called to weigh in on the whole teen driving issue (he is a teacher). Jen is not going to get a flu shot this year, she doesn't like them. We debate who will get one this year. Listeners call in to play Playboy or No Way, where we ask you what celebrities appeared in Playboy. Truta once went to a Playboy party, but neither saw Hugh nor got any numbers. That's about right. See you Friday!

Happy #ColdplayDay everyone! Truta is still doing his part of #TheShowKC from his basement, in his underwear. #Gross Tonight is the big Coldplay concert at Sprint Center. Will Truta make it on stage with Chris Martin to play the kazoo? Find out tomorrow. Today we discuss Bachelor in Paradise; Taylor Swift's big win; the eclipse; the first day of school; new Shatto "eclipse" milk; strange job openings at the RenFest; being late to job interviews;Kid Rock for Senate; Tiger Woods DUI and more!

Welcome back! Jen spent the weekend cleaning up her basement after the Great Flood last week. Jen's Impossible Question. Entertainment News. We talk about what jobs we wanted as kids. Princess, cowboy, truck driver...listeners called in with their first "dream" jobs -- ballerina, doctor, ninja -- and no one is doing anything close to that for a "real" job today! All Access with Shaylee. 10 Items or Less. We play Trick or Trending for NHL Hockey tickets at Sprint Center. #TheShowKC

Busy Monday at #TheShowKC! We hope everyone had a great Father's Day weekend. It sounds like the girls had as much fun (food?) as the guys. We find out early on in the show that Joe Buck does indeed ruin everything. Truta had a bad skinny dippy experience in college. Queen Bey had twins and the world exhales. We ask how you passed the time while your power was out? Comedian/Actor Will Forte (SNL, Last Man On Earth) called in to chat about this week's Big Slick event, his softball prowess and how his sexiness affects the game. How can Coldplay be as bad as the Chainsmokers? We find out in Shaylee's All Access. Back to the ticket giveaways as we have tickets to see (the) Lorde next March at Sprint Center (right before Christmas). We play the Google Predicts game and this time Jen did the googling while Truta tried to guess. It got cringeworthy real fast. Shaylee watched the Breakfast Club over the weekend and gives us her review today in the weekly movie report. After asking a few trivia questions we determined she did indeed watched the show...and liked it! CBS has unveiled the new cast of Big Brother and we reveal our favorites and break 'em down in the entertainment news segment. Revisiting the Joe Buck faux pas from the U.S. Open also leads us into discussion about the celebrity diving show (Splash) and Louie Anderson. Great, random day. See you tomorrow!

Howdy from #TheShowKC. Jen went to see New Kids on the Block last night and is paying for it today, although she says it was a great show and the ladies went nuts over the boys. In the Impossible Question, winner Kevin wants to give his mom the tickets for the Just For Her event, but would keep the Vegas trip to himself if he won. Nice! Celebrity news has some American Idol audition news (spoiler: there is no KC date). Another concert announcement this morning: the Weeknd is coming to Sprint Center, September 26th. Keep listening to The Show for tickets. In the Snap Chat segment we ask: what was your worst summer job? Lots of mascots, phone jockeys and one corn detassler! Shaylee had the All Access about Nial - formerly of 1D - doesn't have time for Tinder. Who doesn't have time for Tinder? Two Chiefs Cheerleaders come by to talk about the upcoming activities at Arrowhead Stadium. Allison and Megan chatted about the 5k, Top Golf Crush and the U2 concert. We then got them to play a version of the Whisper Challenge with us and they rocked! Celebrity news ended the day. See you tomorrow!

We all just about wore the same thing to #TheShowKC this morning. That means either a) none of us have any fashion sense; b) the only wardrobe we all have is comprised of Charlie Hustle shirts; c) all of the above. More concert announcements this morning... Lady A at Sprint Center! Shaylee watched 16 Candles and we grill her on it. There's some hanky panky that shut down Bachelor in Paradise. Wha??? How does that smut get shut down? Mary Murphy, a judge from So You Think You Can Dance, called in to talk about tonight's premiere. Hint: watch for the tap dancer! We debut our new game: the Google Predicts game. Jen has to guess how Google will finish the sentence. Great fun! More celebrity news and Truta has foxes.

A different kind of #TheShowKC today. Adi is sick with strep throat so Truta handled his part of The Show live from his basement office. Much talk of the wearing (or not wearing) of pants ensues. Jen has an impossible question as alway. We get into the entertainment news and are ready to announce another big concert coming to Kansas City, and it is...Katy Perry! See her in October at Sprint Center. We play a game to see how much (or little) Shaylee and Producer Joey know about New Kids on the Block. The answer is: not much. During the All Access with Shaylee we learned that Phil Collins had been rushed to the hospital overnight after tripping on a chair, falling and cracking his head open. Well, that opened a whole can of worms on Twitter, as the Phil Collins song puns began in earnest. Next up, Graham from One Flag came in to talk about the group's latest development: opening up a contest to find the design of the flag. One Flag's goal is to unite both sides of the state line under one banner. The winning design is worth some great prizes and more info will be out soon on the parameters of submission. Random stories about birds, bats and Shaylee's movie list follows before Jen closes out with another look at Entertainment News and Phil Collins.

Shaylee is back from hanging out with her celebrity boyfriend (whom she will still not name) and she is still not a golf analyst. John Mayer is coming to Sprint Center in April and we have tickets before you can buy them. The SAG Awards were last night and there were all sorts of awesome speeches. It is Super Bowl week...we love the prop bets! Joel Goedken and his family appear on a new episode of Family Feud (airing 1/30 at 3:30p on FOX 4). Joel came in to talk about the process of auditioning, Steve Harvey, and more. We also got Joel to stick around and play a round of the Accent Game with us as well. Very big news dropped over the weekend...Hamilton is coming to Kansas City! In a few years...and it will be a tougher ticket than Bruno Mars! Truta's already planning a body part to sell. #TheShowKC this week is qualifying listeners for a Branson getaway to the Chateau on the Lake resort and spa. You HAVE to check out the website -- it's an amazing place! We asked listeners for some tales of Valentine's gone wrong so that we could grant them some V-Day redemption. We'll have more all weekend. Thanks for listening!
