Ep. 42 - RevPar Problems, Real Talk: When Memes Meet Metrics with Calvin Tilokee How do revenue managers really think? What makes hotel rates spike during Taylor Swift concerts—or Bigfoot conventions? And why do memes about ADR hit harder than your star report? In this episode of Tickets to Travel: The Business of Travel Experiences , we sit down with Calvin Tilokee of RevPAR Media, the sharp mind behind the viral @RevPARProblems Instagram account. Calvin pulls back the curtain on hotel pricing strategy, compression events, influencer marketing, and what event producers often get wrong when pitching to hotels. Whether you’re trying to block rooms for a major festival, fill your hotel over a soft week, or just want to understand the secret language of revenue managers, this episode is packed with insight and humor. This episode is a must-listen for hotel sales and revenue teams, meeting and event planners, festival promoters, and hospitality marketers. Follow @RevPARProblems on Instagram for daily hotel truths and satire. And subscribe now to hear why Calvin says: “We don’t need your group when we’re already full. Call us the week after Christmas.” For more insider conversations at the intersection of travel, ticketing, and live experiences, follow us on all socials @Tix2TravelPod and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

73. Scale, Mess And Debt 42:33

منذ 6 years42:33

42:33

Scaling a business is an awesome topic, cleaning up the mess and paying back the debt from scaling is not. This is a tricky thing to balance. Most entrepreneurs get it wrong. If you don't grow fast, a competitor might overtake you —but— grow too fast and you'll make a mess and accumulate too much debt for the company to get out of. Finding the perfect balance between these two extremes is an art-form that lies at the core of an entrepreneur's ability. This podcast teaches you how to think about three things: scale, mess, debt, and how they're all parts of the same "growth cycle". I share practical tips to handle these issues in your business today + share personal stories of the rollercoaster ride I've been on to date.

منذ 6 years39:09

39:09

Do you get distracted by shiny objects? Always looking for something new to replace the thing that was new yesterday? (yes, you're crazy). At its core, shiny object syndrome (SOS) is a disease of distraction, and it affects entrepreneurs specifically because of the qualities that make them unique: High motivation, crave new technology, new developments, and no fear of starting new things. It's called shiny object syndrome because it's the entrepreneurial equivalent of a small child chasing after shiny objects. Once they get there and see what the object is, they immediately lose interest and start chasing the next thing. For entrepreneurs, rather than literal shiny objects. Shiny objects may be business objectives, marketing strategies, clients or even other business ventures. In today's podcast, I show you how to BEAT the shiny object syndrome by implementing 9 practical steps you can take immediately.

63. How To Play With Chaos (4 Laws) 1:00:41

منذ 6 years1:00:41

1:00:41

Until you make the unknown known, it will dictate your life and you will call it "fate". We live in a world of complexity and chaos — you either drown in it, or you understand it. How do you understand the complexity and chaos? Through the use of mental models. Mental models are how we understand the world. Not only do they shape what we think and how we understand but they shape the connections and opportunities that we see. Mental models are how we simplify complexity, why we consider some things more relevant than others, and how we reason. A mental model is simply a representation of how something works. We cannot keep all of the details of the world in our brains, so we use models to simplify the complex into understandable and organizable chunks. Today's podcast is the first of a new "mental model mini-series". I plan to release new content weekly that covers different mental models I use to understand the world and make decisions. Today's mental model is "Chaos Theory", understanding the 4 universal laws from which infinite complexity emerges. This is a biggy! One podcast you seriously don't want to miss!…

62. Success Has Ingredients: Garbage In Garbage Out 32:39

منذ 6 years32:39

What are the "ingredients" of success, Intelligence, and skill? What are the constituent parts? The source materials? Most people believe success, intelligence and skill are natural things you're either born with or without and there's nothing you can do to change it. They're wrong. Success, intelligence and skill, like everything else in the universe, has "ingredients". The same way a chemical compound is made up of elements, success is made up of a different breed of elements. There's always building blocks, you've just got to know where to look! In this podcast, I share with you how to find them, in everything! If you've ever wondered why some people are considered successful, intelligent and skilled, while others aren't — this podcast will show you how to reverse engineer it back to its constituent parts. (this is a valuable skill you can use for life!).…

61. The Genius Of Contradiction (15 Examples) 1:07:20

منذ 6 years1:07:20

1:07:20

Normal people believe in one true "right" and "wrong". Geniuses, billionaires, and scientific revolutionaries believe in "contradiction". Normal people see what everybody else is thinking/doing, and then they adopt that as their own belief of what to think/do. They never think for themselves, they never agitate the crowd, they blindly obey. This isn't a problem if you're ok with losing. But, if you want to win, you need to think differently. You need to learn how to transcend binary logic and play with both sides of the spectrum. You need to become idiosyncratic. Isaac Newton, Einstein, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs, Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, Schumacher — they're all idiosyncratic. They all defied the "sacred conventions", upset the orthodox, and changed the rules of the game. If you've ever wondered why some people change the world and others just live in it, this video will show you how it starts by fundamentally changing the way you think. In this podcast, I show you how to play with fire!…

What problem are you solving? For who? With what solution? What makes your solution different? And most importantly: What would the perfect solution look like? These are the things you should be spending most of your time thinking about as an entrepreneur. NOT taking photos of your food, Gucci duffle bag, and shitty snakeskin loafers to get social media followers to think you're rich, and maybe buy your stuff. Right now the entrepreneur market is in a state of mass confusion. Why? I believe most people's targets and goals are vague undefined entities. And when you build a mind, business, and strategy based upon vagueness, you build nothing of value and cause confusion. This is why you need to think: What does perfection look like? Defining the perfect solution your customers would dream of in a world unconstrained with today's reality will open your eyes to what they really want. Your goal should be to make progress towards it. Innovation begins here!…

Warren Buffett said: "I want to know where I'm going to die so that I never go there". The best way to improve your life and business is to avoid catastrophic errors. The major lesson is “ignorance removal” and the notion that decision-making is not about making a brilliant decision, but avoiding terrible ones. Most people try to improve through addition, when you've really mastered something, you'll learn that improvement comes from subtraction. MORE with LESS. As you plan your goals and new year resolutions for 2019, make sure you set goals to remove things. Not just add new things. Today's podcast shows you how it's done!…

49. Why Outsiders Always Win: 8 Unorthodox CEO's You've Never Heard Of 32:31

منذ 7 years32:31

32:31

Ask people who the best performing CEO in history was and they'll tell you "Jack Welch". What's interesting, is that Jack Welch was far from the best performing CEO. He's not even on the map! People tend to judge a CEO's performance based on their level of "fame" and "popularity". Not their numbers. Jack Welch was a charismatic, extraverted CEO who made a lot of public appearances and grew his fame. This is why people say his name because they remember him and he's the popular, socially acceptable answer to the question if you want to fit in and seems smart to somebody who isn't smart. But in reality, Jack Welches numbers suck. Probably because he was out taking photos and shaking hands instead of focusing on his business. The best performing CEO's of all time are quiet people you've never heard of. They're quiet, humble, analytical engineers who shy away from the spotlight, have zero interest in fame and focus incessantly on adding value, allocating capital and improving efficiency. They're outsiders. In today's podcast, I explain why outsiders always win, and how you can become one. I also share some book recommendations as well as 3 companies letters to shareholders you must read if you want to succeed in business.…

Quantum Mastermind is my highest level of training. Most people in the group are making 7-figures, 4 people are making 8-figures. It's a talented group of people who are doing well. You'd think we get into super-advanced things at this event? What's funny is, we start day 1 the same every single time by doing an audit of where people's time and attention is going. We basically work on "time management" and "productivity" for the first day. Why? Because this is where the big leverage is.

How do billionaires think? Are their brains different than other peoples? Success isn't magic, it's cause and effect. There are actions people have taken in their life that have had profound impacts that made them successful. Success doesn't happen by chance, it happens by taking specific actions. What causes somebody to take action? Their thinking! It's their analysis, rationalizing, decision making, tradeoffs, problem-solving, etc. What part of a human is responsible for these functions? The mind! Success derives from the mind: Mind - Thinking - Action - Success. Your mind is the boot loader for everything, it's the most important thing to understand and improve if you want to perform better in life. Because of this, I've had a fascination with successful people's minds. I wanted to study them, how they think, and how their brains function, so that I could assemble one for myself.

Why does your business exist other than for the purpose of making money? This is the MOST important question you can ask! And what's scary is that most entrepreneurs don't have an answer to this question. The only reason their business exists is to make money for themselves. What's wrong with this? Legally there's nothing wrong with this at all and people can do whatever they want! The problem is that these people will fail at making money and wonder "WHY?". Money is a byproduct of value when you create value you make money. And money isn't value. So you can't create money by trying to make money, it just doesn't work that way! Companies who aim to solve problems and improve people's lives create value, the byproduct of this is money. Lots of money.

منذ 7 years31:56

The difference between "exceptional people" and "good people" isn't incremental, it's exponential. Exceptional people are 10x better than good people. They produce 10x the output. Our social and education systems mislead us on this fact. We think an "A" is only 1-step above "B" and exceptional is only 1-step above good. This is dead wrong. Why are exceptional people 10x better than good? It's because they're good at a broad range of things, they're generalists with wide and deep worldly wisdom and extreme talent on something specific. Google calls this "t-shaped people", we call them "full-stack people". Once you discover this kind of person, you will never hire a normal person ever again.

24:27

Why do most businesses fail? What do they do wrong? And most importantly, how can you avoid making these fatal mistakes? Most entrepreneurs and business owners are obsessed when it comes to studying success, but few of them turn to the dark side and study failure. Warren Buffet once said: "I want to know where I'm going to die so that I never go there". Buffet knows that avoiding fatal mistakes is a better business strategy than studying and implementing successful actions. I did a postmortem analysis investigating the causes of death for 100+ companies across different industries, time periods and countries and here's what I found to be the main 3 causes.…

38. Promoters VS Operators -- How To Scale To 8-Figures Without Blowing Things Up 42:51

منذ 7 years42:51

42:51

How do you grow your business from a scrappy 1-man band to a well oiled 8-figure machine? This transformation is hard and most entrepreneurs don't make it...You need to change who you are at a fundamental level. You need to evolve from a "promoter" to an "operator". History shows us that promoters never last, they thrive in new markets but quickly get taken out by disciplined operators. If you want to win in business over the long term -- you must become an operator -- this video shows you how.…

37. Quarterly Reviews - How To Rethink Everything & Grow Exponentially 20:46

منذ 7 years20:46

20:46

How do you come up with those 10x ideas that get you exponential growth? How do you break the linear growth trajectory and go exponential? I can tell you this: It doesn't happen by doing more of what you're doing now. Exponential growth happens when you rethink everything and take a radically new perspective. Jeff Bezos said: "Point of view is worth 80 IQ points". How you see things and take a perspective is worth more than raw intelligence. The best way to see things in a different way is to rise above the day-to-day chaos and look down on it from a higher level. In this podcast, I share exactly that.…

36. Machine Everything - Remove The Need For Humans To Think 5:51

منذ 7 years5:51

More with less -- That's the objective of evolution, to remove waste and optimize for value and efficiency. Darwin was right: Life is a game of "survival of the fittest"... Only the strong survive. If you want your business to survive the evolutionary arms race, you must continuously improve efficiency. The best way to do that is to "machine everything". Eliminate the need to think. Squeeze every ounce of utility out of every resource possible, and then figure out how to squeeze some more. If you don't, you'll cease to exist.…

35. How To Filter Your Information - Everybody's Wrong Until Proven Right 34:36

منذ 7 years34:36

How do you find the TRUTH in today's world? How do you navigate the minefield of misinformation, fake news, propaganda, biased views, and blatant lies? Most people are walking around blindly with their umbilical cords hanging out looking for something to plug them into. Being successful requires good decision making and good decision making requires accurate information and beliefs. Plain and simple: If you listen to the opinion of most people, you will believe a lie, make poor decisions and fail to be successful. Accurate information lies at the heart of success and finding it should be your highest priority at all times.…

34. Cause & Effect Timeframes - Why Today's Results Came From Last Years Work 25:41

منذ 7 years25:41

25:41

Most people fail to see long-term cause and effect relationships...They're shortsighted and they only think in timeframes of today, this week and this month. If they don't see rewards from the actions they take immediately, they give up or find a new shiny object and the same pattern repeats itself again. It's a vicious cycle like a snake eating its tail. If you take action today, the true reward of that action will occur 1-2 years from now, not today. Most people are blind to this. If you want to succeed in life and business you need to understand cause and effect timeframes so that you can think clearly and execute on the power-law activities that truly move the needle. This video shows you how to do that!…

33. How To Turn The "Hard Things" You Avoid Into Base Instincts You Can't Live Without 39:32

منذ 7 years39:32

39:32

Most people suffer from the "natural giftedness" delusion. They think that successful people are born naturals who master things immediately -- and -- If they try something new and they're not good at it and confident on the first few tries, it's just not meant to be. This sort of thinking is fucked up. Everybody is born into this world the same way. Everything must be learned through practice. Sheer repetition, consistency and time. You will NEVER be successful in life or business until you turn the hard things you avoid doing into base instincts. Things you execute on all day, every day, without even thinking. To do this you have to go through a few stages: The first one is to brute force your way through, then turn it into a habit, then turn it into a base instinct. The magic happens when hard things become base instincts.…

32. A Recipe For Domination: Long Term Thinking, Moats And Asymmetric Warfare 27:37

منذ 7 years27:37

27:37

How can you do things that others can't? That's the question you must ask yourself if you want to gain a competitive advantage, slaughter the competition and win in business. Most entrepreneurs try to gain "easy advantages". They ask the question: "What's fast, cheap and easy to build that will give us an advantage?". The problem with easy advantages is that they are replicated easily and when that happens, they are no longer advantages. Billionaires ask the advantage question another way...They ask: "What's slow, extremely expensive and excruciatingly hard to build that will give us an advantage?". The best competitive advantages are the ones with "moats" and high barriers to entry. In this podcast, I share exactly how you can build a moat around your business so that you can slaughter the competition and win.…
