February 01, 2023 161: I Don't Know Who Needs To Hear This But... Delete THAT Line Before Sending
In this epsiode we talk about how customer comments and complaints can often trigger our defensiveness as indoor playground or play cafe business owners, causing us to feel compelled to respond an a way that is less-than-becoming as a community leader and business owner. Let's explore that compulsion and quash it in this episode.

January 11, 2023 153: When Should You CANCEL An Event Due To Low Registration?
In this episode I share 4 helpful questions to ask yourself as an indoor playground or play cafe owner if you are considering canceling an upcoming event or class due to low registration numbers. And these questions go BEYOND the obvious-- beyond determining the "break-even" point where your event would cost you more to host than to cancel and refund.
SO much in business is NOT black and white, so let's talk about what to consider besides your break-even point.
