Dr. Bijoy John Teaches Us About Our Superpower: SLEEP! 57:24

منذ 1 year57:24

57:24

I haven't always been a champion sleeper. Like a lot of my friends, I haven't always had a regular bedtime due to work, school, social life, whatever. In college, at the University of Alabama, I couldn't be torn from the things going on in my dorm. I was so excited to see everything...I didn't want to miss a thing. Later on, I was working 3 or more jobs to pay for school including working nights at several nightclubs. During those years, I'd catch sleep whenever I could. Including underneath the desk in the recreation center or the tennis courts that I worked at. To say that my sleep schedule was screwed up would be doing a disservice to the term "screwed up". Eventually, I got my sleep in order. I'm often in bed right at 11PM and I'm out of bed sometime around 645AM. You'll learn that this fits right into the natural sleep rhythm our bodies have. Dr. John teaches us about things we can do to sleep better. He also covers where we might be having problems sleeping. And, he goes over his SLEEP NOW formula. --- You can follow Dr. John: Twitter LinkedIn Instagram Visit Dr. Sleep Fix: 'Nobody's Sleeping' Dr. John's new book .

Today's episode is personal because it is about the proposed arena in Northern VA. My guest is Brian Hess from I Street Advisors. Like me, Brian lives in the area. We discuss the arena at length: The nature of the market and where attendance comes from. Public subsidies. The 50/50 bet at the heart of the deal. Whether or not the District's offer to Monumental makes sense. Traffic. More!

What Do Brokers Really Want to See When a Ticket Goes On Sale? 55:04

منذ 1 year55:04

"What do scalpers really like to see when a ticket goes on-sale?" That question popped up in my inbox about a week ago. It got me thinking about the questions that people ask me when they want to know how to "stop" the secondary market or whether or not to work with the secondary market. So, I had Martin Haigh from Total Tickets come on to discuss this topic since he's just put together a special report on the secondary market. Martin and I try to come at this topic from a neutral point of view, but Martin's thinking on the subject has changed over the years to be more pro-secondary and I mention that my thinking on the secondary market has changed because I was involved in the secondary market at a different time and different space. In today's episode we cover ideas like: Good bots v. Bad bots Blockchain and the claim it will eliminate the secondary market Creativity and why the secondary market will always find a way to get tickets Distribution and how the secondary market can be a powerful tool in your distribution plan. Why you may not want to eliminate all resale, even if you can. You can get the information on Martin's report here ! Get 'Talking Tickets' my ticket newsletter . Visit my website: www.DaveWakeman.com Don't miss 'First Wednesdays with Dave' on January 3rd, 2024 at 1 PM Eastern. We will be talking about getting 2024 off to a fast start. I want to include your voice in the podcast. So send me a note and tell me what challenges you are dealing with. Is there a specific topic you want to learn more about? Do you have a guest you'd like to hear me talk with? Let me know.…

Drew McManus says "one size fits none" is a bad idea... 41:52

My guest today is Drew McManus from UpStage CRM: www.upstagecrm.io We had a great time catching up in Seattle at INTIX and now we've gone and done a podcast! We hit on a lot of topics like what led Drew to start UpStage. I put Drew on the spot and make him define "one size fits none". We discuss where he gets his ideas from. Why focusing on the minimum amount of functionality is magic. And, a lot more. Hook up with my friends at Cover Genius in Birmingham for the Ticketing Professionals Conference. www.CoverGenius.com I've been paying special attention to the CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason) product because the data becomes more compelling everyday. Guests want peace of mind in their purchases and are willing to pay for it. We've seen that really clearly at the Playhouse Theatre in Ohio where 48% of guests have taken up refund protection as the weather can be challening in the winter. The idea applies to health, economic issues, and THE WEATHER! So talk to Joe, Hayley, Chris, and the team. Visit my website at www.DaveWakeman.com You can go to my shop and get a "Pick My Brain" session. Keep an eye out for workshops in NYC, London, Sydney, and more!
