episode Ep. 51 - "Beyond Burnout: Rewriting Success in Events, Travel, and Hospitality with Mike Messeroff" cover

Ep. 51 - "Beyond Burnout: Rewriting Success in Events, Travel, and Hospitality with Mike Messeroff"

Episode 51 – Beyond Burnout: Rewriting Success in Events, Travel, and Hospitality with Mike Messeroff The events, travel, and hospitality industries are built on curating joy for others—but what happens when the professionals behind the experiences run out of joy themselves? In this episode, we sit down with Mike Messeroff, a former JetBlue leader turned transformational coach, who has walked away from corporate perks and global adventures only to discover the real key to thriving: presence, clarity, and self-hospitality. From managing partnerships at JetBlue Vacations to pouring cocktails in Breckenridge, Mike's career journey reveals the hidden cost of "selling fun" while quietly burning out. Today, he helps executives, event planners, and hospitality leaders rewrite the script by treating themselves like their most honored guests. We explore: * Why burnout is baked into the "programming" of events and hospitality professionals * How mindfulness and micro-moments of presence can transform leadership on high-stress event days * The difference between chasing fun and finding freedom in your career * Why self-hospitality isn't fluff—it's the foundation for long-term success If you've ever wondered why the perks of the job don't always equal fulfillment, or how to recalibrate without walking away from the industry you love, this conversation offers a practical blueprint for change.

episode Ep. 50 – "Why OTAs Missed the Concert: The Untapped $10B Ticketing Opportunity with Eric Taraby" cover

Ep. 50 – "Why OTAs Missed the Concert: The Untapped $10B Ticketing Opportunity with Eric Taraby"

Ep. 50 – Why OTAs Missed the Concert: The Untapped $10B Ticketing Opportunity with Eric Taraby For a decade, the travel and ticketing industries have circled each other without truly connecting. In this milestone 50th episode of Tickets to Travel: The Business of Travel Experiences, host Mario Bauduin sits down with ticketing technologist and consultant Eric Taraby to finally pull back the curtain on why online travel agencies (OTAs) still struggle to integrate live event tickets into their booking flows. From Super Bowls and Taylor Swift concerts to the rise of F1 and global stadium investment, fans are increasingly booking trips around events — not destinations. Yet despite the growing demand, the systems powering ticket supply, APIs, and secondary marketplaces remain largely misunderstood in the travel space. Eric shares a decade of insights spanning Ticket Evolution, TickStock, and Global Ticket Supply, offering a rare inside look at the hidden distribution networks behind live event ticketing. Together, Mario and Eric explore: * Why OTAs embraced tours and attractions but overlooked sports and concerts * The backend challenges of merging ticketing inventory into global travel platforms * How secondary marketplaces like StubHub, SeatGeek, and Vivid Seats reshaped consumer trust * The untapped opportunity for hotels, OTAs, and destinations to monetize event-driven travel * The future of global event tourism — and what happens when fans become "guests" If you're a travel executive, ticketing insider, or just a fan who books trips around your favorite shows and teams, this episode delivers both a crash course and a crystal ball for the future of ticketing and travel.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
