    5 Tips & Tricks: Special Episode with Morey and Jen

    Today's Guest: Morey and Jen Every week we ask our guests for the advice that shaped them. For this special episode, we turned the mics on ourselves. Jen and Morey went back through the archive and pulled their five favorite tips from past guests, not the ones that sound good on a quote graphic, but the ones we actually think about on a Tuesday afternoon when the day's gone sideways. We get into where each piece of advice came from and, more importantly, how it's changed the way we show up at work. Then we close with a thought we've been sitting on for a while: what we know now that we wish someone had told us early in our careers. No script, no polish, just an honest reflection on the things you only figure out by living them. Check out this special episode.

    5Tips & Tricks: Facility Operations Manager at Legends Global at Pitt- Alex Parent

    Today's Guest: Facility Operations Manager Legends Global at Pitt- Alex Parent He has spent over a decade making sure the lights stay on, the floors stay clean, and the game goes on — no matter what. He got his start coordinating facilities and operations at one of the most storied programs in college athletics — Syracuse University — where for nearly seven years, he kept the day-to-day humming: scheduling, renovations, fleet management, you name it. From there, he headed to Buffalo, taking on a bigger role as Assistant AD for Facilities at D'Youville University — helping execute a $3-million facility master plan, standing up a risk management system, and running everything from the weight room to game day concessions. Next, he spent over three years as a Facilities Manager at the University of Pittsburgh, overseeing nearly a million square feet of property and helping coordinate operations for a brand-new $75-million research building. And today? He's the Facility Operations Manager at Legends Global — running a 3,000-seat arena and sports performance center, managing engineers and custodial teams, and lending a hand at the Peterson Event Center. From Syracuse to Buffalo to Pittsburgh, this guy has quietly kept some incredible venues running behind the scenes.
