Do you roll your eyes when you hear the word “personalization”? I'm kind of over it since a lot of what's passed off as personalization is not in fact personalized, but more of an algorithm at play.

Welcome back and thanks for coming. Here is episode 72 of my little podcast and this episode's origins are a little different to the rest of the podcasts that I have done. I was reached out to by representatives of Kirt to see if I would be interested in talking to him for the show (something I was very flattered by, I never thought i'd get to that stage) and I of course jumped at the chance to speak to someone in his position. Kirt is the CEO of US based B2B sync platform ‘Syncfloor'. Syncfloor offers music users a simple way to access, find, search and license all sorts of music for their projects. Kirt has a background in tech (via Microsoft) as well as in music (as a performer but also as an indie label owner). It was a fascinating chat and Kirt was an amazing guest. Not going to lie I was nervous before starting this one but he was a joy to chat to and I'd love to have the chance to chat to him again in the not too distant future.

Retention is the name of the game. Once we've acquired a client, we've got to have a strategy to hold on to that client.

How many times have you heard the phrase, “you can't out train a bad diet”? Probably a million or more. Some people never achieve the results they're looking for. It's not the fitness facilities fault. There's a missing link. That missing link is nutrition. You're probably nodding your head because you knew that already.

Music labels were once the gatekeepers of the music industry, handling every part of the music production and distribution process. Now this oligopoly has been disrupted by new technologies that lower the cost for artists to create music, distribute it and promote it themselves. The labels and the business models needed to support them have had to adapt to this new reality.

Good Morning it's Tuesday May 25th and this is Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Today - What's going on in Leavenworth? Between changes in their approach to holiday lights, and the cancellation of Oktoberfest, what do events look like from here on out? Today's episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA. -- Now our feature story… A new “always on” approach to Leavenworth's Bavarian Village holiday lights was introduced during the pandemic. But why? The reconfigured festival, now “Village of Lights” rather than “Christmas Lighting” , is designed to avoid the massive weekend crowds that put pressure on safety, parking, traffic and the overall visitor and resident experience. There's also a plan to add more light displays to the half a million-plus that already shine each year. Now, that magical experience is going on midweek as well as weekends. The same strategy will be applied to other chamber-sponsored events in January, February and May. The change follows a comprehensive discussion by the chamber's board, according to chamber spokeswoman Jessica Stoller. The discussion was focused on how to improve all the festivals, with an eye toward overall safety, crowd mitigation, and the event experience for our visitors and locals. The idea is to level out the peak traffic and visitation times. So, Instead of one weekend in May where they showcase Maifest traditions, they would have programming and activities every weekend throughout the month. For the December holiday lighting festivities, specifically, that means a host of new activities. Some include a scavenger hunt and new lighting displays, Letters to Santa, Gingerbread heart necklaces for children, A benefit gingerbread house construction competition, Opportunities to win a themed Christmas tree and accompanying gifts, Gift wrapping stations, Locally made ornaments for those shopping mid-week & more. Stoller says that after a year without the festival, the board took thoughtful steps to evolve the event to be in line with the popularity of Leavenworth during the month of December. These changes will help in the effort to mitigate crowd sizes, spread out the parking availability, and elevate the experience for both visitors and locals alike. As of now, specifics on the events planned for January and February are still being finalized. And what's in store for Leavenworth's Oktoberfest? For more than two decades it's taken place on three weekends in October - all organized by the nonprofit Projekt Bayern. Well… it still remains in limbo. It was canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic. But now, a combination of the uncertainty about COVID-19 restrictions this fall and changes proposed by the city led to it being canceled again this year. The city of Leavenworth has since canceled Projekt Bayern's contract to host the event, which had been in place since 2012. The other traditional Bavarian Village event is the Autumn Leaf Festival, which features a parade. It's organized by another nonprofit, the Washington State Autumn Leaf Festival Association. It also was canceled last year because of the pandemic, but it's planned for the end of September this year. To learn more about what's going on in Leavenworth visit us at WenatcheeWorld.com - Here's what else you need to know about today… And as you've heard by now, Sunday night's high winds blew a fire up the Swakane Canyon along 97A toward Entiat.. Fire crews held the fire back from crossing over Highway 97A into 15 homes along the Columbia River. Later the wind started to subside as Chelan County firefighters and Forest Service hand crews boxed in the fire.. The cause of the fire is under investigation. / The Health district will assume leadership of Wenatchee mass vaccination site starting later this week on May 28th. - Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health.

The Flywheel Investment Conference is an annual event that generates exposure and resources for early stage companies by bringing entrepreneurs, investors, and community members together.

To read more on this story visit us at wenatcheeworld.com - Here's what else you need to know about today… Last week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revised masking rules for fully vaccinated people. But local health officials are still encouraging the community to remain vigilant against COVID-19. They're also emphasizing the importance of getting vaccinated - the key to getting rid of masks permanently. The new CDC masking guidelines suggest that people who are fully vaccinated don't need to wear a mask in some outdoor settings... These settings include walking, running, or biking outdoors with members of your household. Also on the list - attending small, outdoor gatherings with fully vaccinated and unvaccinated people. You can check out the full list at wwrld.us/mask. Really, the only exception made by the CDC is for crowded outdoor gatherings like live performances or sporting events. In these situations masking is still recommended for everyone. Dr. Malcolm Butler, health officer for the Chelan-Douglas Health District provided an easy rule to follow: if you are outdoors and close enough to smell someone's perfume, cologne or the tuna they ate for lunch, you should be masked. / A bit over half — 55% — of people in Chelan and Douglas counties have received the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to health district data. / Luke Davies, health administrator for the Chelan-Douglas Health District says that to protect everyone, vaccine coverage needs to reach somewhere between 70% to 76% for the entire population. These recommendations will continue to evolve but again, people should remain cautious. / Incidence rates are still hovering a bit below the 200 cases per 100,000 population mark in Chelan and Douglas counties, and it is spiking in other places, Davies said. As of April 27th, the Chelan-Douglas combined incidence rate is at 174.2 new cases per 100,000. The growing number of cases of COVID-19 variants also remains a concern. - Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health.

It'll celebrate both the Mexican Cinco de Mayo holiday and local Latinx-owned businesses. The event starts at 4pm and will take place at Pybus Public Market. You can expect activities, food and music. Elvis Garcia, chairman of the council and owner of Wenatchee's Seattle Yoga Lounge & Cafe said the event is designed to educate the public on the history and traditions of Cinco de Mayo and bring attention to local Latinx-owned businesses. Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is the date of the Mexican army's victory over France at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. It is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico according to Garcia, but it's evolved in the U.S. In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated mostly in Puebla. It includes a re-enactment of the battle, where people dress up as French and Mexican soldiers and go to war with one another. It's typically followed by a parade where school children and soldiers march alongside mariachi musicians and elaborate floats. T Garcia said the event on the 8th will include some of the traditions, along with a safe place for the many different cultures in our Valley to celebrate and learn about each other's customs. See you there! - Before we go, some local history, Wenatchee Valley History is brought to you by NABUR [this is pronounced just like neighbor] – your trusted neighborhood community.

The city engineer's office has recorded permits during that 30-day period with a valuation totaling $1,647,641. The factor that built up the total was the start of construction of Wenatchee's new junior high school at a cost of $1,455,715. - Thanks for listening.
