The Journey of Haystack Dryers w/ Wayne Jacks :: Ep 223 MMTBP
In this episode, we talk to Wayne Jacks, Vice President of Operations for Haystack Dryers.
We discuss his career trajectory and current role at Haystack Dryers. Wayne, originally from the UK, moved to the US in 2007 to launch the US arm of Haystack Dryers, which manufactures drying machines for theme parks and other attractions. He shares his experiences from managing the London Eye to working with various theme parks, emphasizing the importance of customer relationships and innovation. Wayne highlights the benefits of his dryers, such as increased guest satisfaction and revenue, and mentions the transition from cash to contactless payment systems. He also touches on the challenges of introducing new concepts and the importance of persistence in sales. The conversation explores the evolution of technology and entertainment, highlighting the shift from traditional media like network TV and radio to modern platforms like podcasts and YouTube. We discuss the rise and fall of NFTs, comparing it to the early days of the internet. Our discussion also touches on the impact of cryptocurrencies, with references to Bitcoin and Dogecoin. We reflect on generational differences in technology adoption, the challenges of maintaining a work-life balance, and the importance of discipline in personal well-being. We also mention the future of theme parks and the potential impact of a more crypto-friendly administration on financial markets.
