Tyler Jacobs, Director of Guest Engagement and Analytics at Morey's Piers, joins John and Tim to reveal how Morey's FAM Club delivers real-time offers the moment guests step off a ride, why "making it dumb" unlocked years of stalled innovation, and how small teams can build enterprise-level systems by optimizing the resources they already have.
