Ep. 118 - Happy Holidays, Reflections, and What's Next

In this holiday edition of the Memory Makers Podcast, Russ Van Natta takes a moment to step back from the usual interviews to celebrate a year of memories and shares what's ahead. Reflecting on a massive year that saw viewership spike by over 122%, Russ shares exclusive data from Spotify and YouTube that highlights what truly resonates with the FEC industry—from deep dives into opening new venues to high-impact operator interviews. As we wrap up the year, we’re pulling back the curtain on what’s coming in 2026, including a brand-new studio set, more data-driven content, and a renewed focus on the financial metrics and guest experiences that move the needle for your business.
