On this week's show we look at how AI agents now handle first-contact birthday party and corporate bookings, why you still need skilled closers, and what that means for conversion and margins. We also unpack Disney’s pivot toward original-trilogy Star Wars, leadership moves in FEC chains, the pickleball and padel ceiling, soccer tech venue competition, and a new 360‑motion VR platform built for LBE.
