The data analytics company that studies customer satisfaction released their 2026 North America Airline Satisfaction Study that shows passengers are generally happy with the state of travel. With all the recent news surrounding just the opposite, I found the findings interesting so I invited Michael Taylor, senior managing director of travel, hospitality, retail and customer service at JD Power to be here on the show to explain.

How you deal with a traffic ticket is much different depending on if you are a man or a woman. So says the ticket fighting service called Off The Record, an app where you upload your ticket and they will connect you with a local attorney to fight your ticket. While the findings of their study are very interesting, what is more interesting is what they do and how they do it. To talk all about it I invited Alex Guirguis, co-founder and CEO of OffTheRecord to be on the show. I know this is a longer than normal episode but it is worth it.
