  • Exposure to influences

    Must listen! It's essential to feel like an expat once in a while, it leads to being exposed to very diverse cultures that could surely influence the way we think and behave. - Valerie Cockerell

  • Great information and insider information

    Started listening to the podcasts mid season, but I've now backtracked to the start again.

    Really easy and even sometimes funny listening (hope they don't read this and get big headed).

    With all the traveling I do it's great to have some offline media to listen to. Keep up the good work guys!

Episode 473: Jon Tozer talks about the deeper meaning of “immersive,” transforming sensory experiences, and authenticity at the human level
Q: How do you balance the needs of large brand operators with the Holovis vision for immersive tech?
Balance comes from treating each operator as a unique partner with distinct goals. We adapt ourselves—scaling from fast ROI to long-term capital projects, adjusting to different governance, budgets, and risk appetites. The key is upfront honesty about costs and risks, and aligning on a shared vision while keeping the vendor-client relationship flexible and collaborative.
Episode 473: Jon Tozer talks about the deeper meaning of “immersive,” transforming sensory experiences, and authenticity at the human level
Q: Jon, can you walk us through how Holovis translates a client's creative intent into a technical plan?
The process starts with the client's creative intent, which may come fully formed or needs fleshing out. Holovis then defines the technical intent, designs a rigorous design-to-testing workflow, and collaborates with the client to ensure the concept is engaging, immersive, and ROI-focused. We emphasize thorough testing and phased delivery to ensure reliability before site deployment.
Episode 472: Tim Benson talks about consumer behavior, an attractions mindset at the YMCA, and Tim’s accountability process
Q: What advice would you give to aspiring CEOs?
Choose your attitude, and cultivate a network outside your immediate team to vent and brainstorm with. These habits help you navigate the loneliness of leadership and maintain perspective.
Episode 472: Tim Benson talks about consumer behavior, an attractions mindset at the YMCA, and Tim’s accountability process
Q: What does your accountability system look like in practice?
I use a simple one-page document for each employee, track ongoing projects, and conduct regular check-ins with clear expectations. It creates a data-heavy, emotion-free environment that makes performance reviews straightforward.
Episode 472: Tim Benson talks about consumer behavior, an attractions mindset at the YMCA, and Tim’s accountability process
Q: Can you summarize the through-line between your experiences in retail, cultural attractions, and the YMCA?
The through-line is consumer behavior; understanding what people want, even when they don't know they want it, and designing spaces and services that meet those needs in a multipurpose way.
