Well worry not! Graham and Ashkahn share all the big changes happening with restrictions lifting and life returning to a semblance of normalcy. If you've been following our shop operations at all, some of these changes might surprise you. Listen to Just the Audio Transcription of this episode... (in case you prefer reading) ​Graham: Okay. Back again. Ashkahn: Back at it. Back with it, back on track. Graham: And back for you, back for you. Ashkahn: Let's put on some Burt Bacharach. Graham: All right. We have some stuff to talk about. Turns out who knew there was a global pandemic going on. A bunch of us just had to change every single way about how we operated our entire business. And in some areas, things are lightening it up, back at it getting back more towards normal-ish operations. Ashkahn: Yeah. We just had here in Oregon, June 30th was the no more stuff date. Official no more stuff day. Graham: So that's it. Now there's no cases of COVID anymore here and...

Check the episode out to find out about the dual track...

Grashkahmn are back to talk about the latest product they've been putting together during quarantine: The Buoy Project, a social media toolkit designed specifically for float centers. Beyond just a shameless plug, the boys use the episode to explain the nature of the project and what they hope it can turn into in the future with the help of the industry.

Graham and Ashkahn kick off the New Year by discussing the things to consider when adding a float tank to an existing business. This is a fantastic episode to start with if you've already got a service-based business or are a practitioner looking to start up on your own and looking for ideas. The boys talk about logistical considerations, the built-in advantages to adding on to an existing practice, as well as how nice it is to have a meatball sandwich after chilling out in a sensory reduced environment for an hour (Ashkahn has a serious one-track mind).

Graham and Ashkahn round out the end of the year by talking about all the naughty and nice things about having business partners. It's a shorter compilation today, which gives you plenty of time to talk to your own business partners about what you think about them!

The holidays are a busy time for float centers and it often means lots of new customers asking questions. This means it can be a really great time to brush up on the facts about floating. Fortunately we've formed a folio of fantastic studies for you to fancy. Feliz Navidad!

In every service business, there's a running joke that someone likes that's usually somehting along the lines of "this job would be great if it weren't for all the customers!" (*cue laugh track and uproarious applause*), well, the boys have not shied away from talking about the difficult sides of running a shop like ours. We've got episodes about handling negative Yelp reviews, customers too intoxicated to float, and even what to do when it's time to 86 a problematic client.

You can tell this episode was recorded a little while ago, really close to after we all got back from the Conference. The boys are a little tired today, but they still have lots to talk about. Grashkahmn share their initial reactions to the Conference now that it's being run by the industry as a non-profit. This is a nice episode especially if you're looking for some insights on their behind-the-scenes perspective on this big industry event and how it has changed this year.

Graham and Ashkahn are back to give their recap on the Float Conference. No, not THAT Float Conference, the Russian Float Conference. The guys got to go speak at the float event on the other side of the world and are reporting back on what that was like, how their industry is shaping up, and some of the lessons we can learn about their industry over there. Additionally, Graham and Ashkahn lied to you. The show notes will not have a puppet show in them.

This Tank Topic covers everything you need to know to get your e-mail on. You wanna know how long your e-mail newsletter should be and what topics you should cover? You wanna know how frequently to e-mail for special deals? You even wanna know how long your e-mails should have to be? You wanna know all these answers all at once? We freaking got you! I'm so glad you asked, cuz we literally just put this episode together. I'm really glad you're gonna find it useful. Rock on, dude. Synchronicity!

Summer may be coming to a close but we've still got Tank Topics to help you beat the heat. This collection focuses on managing employees, so we share everything from what to look for when hiring, what orientation looks like, and how we at Float On have structured our management hierarchy. Also... Ashkahn likes socks, so send him some.

This is a bit of breaking news for the float world. There was a clearly defined case of someone getting sick in a float tank and Graham and Ashkahn are here to tell you what you as a float center owner (or future owner) should know about it and the steps you can take to keep yourself informed on this issue and make sure you don't repeat any of the same mistakes.

Graham and Ashkahn are here to fill you in on all the exciting updates to the Float Conference, now that it's a non-profit, along with what to expect this year. They're hopping in quick to let everyone know what's going on before early bird tickets close, so definitely check the link in the description if you haven't got tickets yet!

So by now it's old news that Chris and Donna Petrovics have closed up shop at ProFloat Inc. At Rise earlier this year, they gave an emotional, heartfelt farewell talk to the industry. There were tears, hugs, and words of love and encouragement all around. This interview takes place immediately after their speech, and the effect of it still hangs in the air during our conversation. Be warned, this interview may make you misty eyed while listening. Although it's possible that it's just the chopped onions that exist in the background.

This Tank Topic is all about how to get startup funds for float centers and understanding the different avenues for funding as a whole. The guys talk about everything from bank loans to securing investors to funding everything yourself and what that looks like.

Come listen to Graham and Ashkahn pick the brain of Juliet, who are all in the studio talking about the State of the Industry Survey that has been released by Float Tank Solutions (hey! That's us!). To find out what's new in this year's survey and information on where to go to fill it out, check out this episode!

This tank topic is all about social media, how to use it, what the tools are, and what it's freaking good for. Derek Wyatt is featured prominently in these episodes as well, given that he's our social media wiz over here at Float On. It's chalk full of amazing info that'll make your Facebook posts shine!

In this second release of the Occasional Solutions Podcast, Juliet sits down with Angela McAllister the owner of Lucidity Float and Wellness Center in the Southside of Chattanooga, Tennessee and Wendi Elmore, an employee at Float STL and graduate from the University of Missouri. She has since dedicated her time and efforts to spaces that support the self-care and economic empowerment of people of color, LGBTQIA and gender non-binary communities through tools that include yoga, meditation and now floating.
