🎧 Episode 14: What Nobody Sees | Tarry Hall Roller Rink Podcast

Everyone sees the lights, the music, and a packed Friday night—but what they don’t see is the work that makes it all possible.

In this episode of the Tarry Hall Roller Rink Podcast, I’m not in the DJ booth or the pro shop—I’m in a plow truck. Because if the parking lot isn’t clear, the rink doesn’t open.

We dive into the unglamorous but critical side of rink ownership, starting with snow removal and why something so simple directly impacts guest safety, staff safety, attendance, liability, and insurance. If people can’t get in safely, nothing else matters.

I also break down why I decided to buy an old plow truck instead of outsourcing—covering cost control, reliability, timing, and what it really means to be on call as a rink owner when the weather doesn’t care about your schedule.

From snow removal to trash, maintenance, repairs, and prep work, this episode is about the invisible work nobody posts on Instagram. People see a packed Friday night—they don’t see Tuesday morning in 10-degree weather.

Most importantly, this episode is about pride, responsibility, and community. Taking care of the building means taking care of the skaters, parents, staff, and leagues that call Tarry Hall home. A roller rink isn’t just a business—it’s a community space.

If you’re a rink owner, small business owner, or just curious what happens behind the scenes, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to keep the doors open.
