    In this episode, we sit down with Peter Gergely, Director, Content and Fan Experience at the New York Yankees, to explore how legacy sports brands are evolving their in-stadium experiences for today’s tech-savvy fans. With more than two decades in sports media, Peter shares how his role has shifted from video production to driving innovation and fan engagement at Yankee Stadium. We discuss: Why mobile phones are central to the modern ballpark experience. How the pandemic forced a reassessment of in-game entertainment. The challenge of keeping both traditional and digital-first fans engaged. What made mobile bingo an effective entry point for interactive tech. How Peter evaluates new vendors and emerging tools. Why personalization is the next big shift in stadium innovation. 💬Peter says: “We’re getting older. But there’s always going to be young fans coming in. They’re going to be the new model of what we need to showcase and what we want to enhance for them, for the generation, while maintaining traditional aspects for the older fan.” ——— Resources Mentioned: Peter Gergely https://www.linkedin.com/in/pgergely/ New York Yankees | LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/new-york-yankees/ New York Yankees | Website https://www.mlb.com/yankees MLB Ballpark App https://www.mlb.com/apps/ballpark ——— This episode is brought to you by Majestyk Apps We imagine, design and build digital products.

    31 - Building Digital Products at a Legacy Brand — with Samantha McCarthy, AVP, Product Management at Sotheby’s

    In this episode, Samantha McCarthy, AVP, Product Management at Sotheby’s, joins us to discuss what it takes to build proprietary tools inside a 300-year-old company. She shares how her team balances the weight of tradition with the speed of modern product development, and what it means to build for ultra-high-net-worth clients in real time. We discuss: How Sotheby’s matured its internal product org to support digital transactions. Why clear communication and analogies help bridge tech and non-tech teams. Challenges of building tools for a small, ultra-high-net-worth user base. How legacy data informs the shift to platform-level thinking. Why the team chose to build proprietary tools instead of buying off-the-shelf. What it takes to deliver real-time, high-stakes auction experiences online. 💬 Samantha says: “There’s a performance and a drama and an immediacy to a lot of the auction experience that goes into how we think about things that I think really impacts not just how we build products, but how we work with the rest of the business. And how they understand what we're doing is really crucial.” Resources Mentioned: Samantha McCarthy https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthajmcc/ Sotheby’s | LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/sothebys/ Sotheby’s | Website https://www.sothebys.com/en/ This episode is brought to you by Majestyk Apps We imagine, design and build digital products.

    30 - Telemetry and Observability Made Simple — with Andrew Tunall, President & CPO at Embrace

    In this episode, we’re joined by Andrew Tunall, President and CPO of Embrace. Andrew breaks down the real-world impact of telemetry and observability, explaining how teams can use these tools to create faster, more resilient product experiences. With a background at New Relic, AWS and now Embrace, Andrew shares how observability is evolving into a product-wide concern — not just an engineering one. We discuss: - Why telemetry is essential for measuring real user performance. - How observability differs from traditional analytics tools. - What forward-looking teams do differently when shipping mobile apps. - How cross-functional teams benefit from shared data insights. - Why user disengagement is often a performance issue in disguise. - How AI helps Embrace rapidly test ideas and improve collaboration. Andrew says,  “As you think about full-stack engineering, not just front-end engineering, I'm a big believer that having common data sets and thinking about a problem with all of the information at your disposal, produces the best overall system design decisions. That is to say, if you think about a UX pattern that you could contemplate, if you do not care at all about any of the implementation details, you could come up with some wild stuff that is virtually impossible for the engineers to actually deliver in a way that performs consistent with user expectations.”  Resources Mentioned: Andrew Tunall |LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewtunall/ Embrace | Website https://embrace.io/ Embrace | LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/embrace.io/ GitHub (for all our open source, OTel SDKs) https://github.com/embrace-io Embrace’s Slack Community (anyone can join to learn about user-focused observability and how to work with OpenTelemetry for web and mobile) https://community.embrace.io/ This episode is brought to you by Majestyk Apps.

    Jacqueline Sigler, Senior Product Manager, Point of Sale and Payments, of GoDaddy, joins us to share her journey from finance to product management. Jacqueline highlights the unique challenges of building point-of-sale (POS) systems that blend physical hardware, digital software and real-world human interactions. She explains the importance of balancing innovation with reliability in payment systems, emphasizing the need to consider diverse user perspectives, from small business owners to end customers. We discuss: - The journey from finance to product management. - The complexities of designing for both hardware and software in POS systems. - Building trust and reliability in payment experiences. - Lessons learned from working with small business owners. - Balancing speed, precision and customer expectations in software updates. - How AI and emerging technologies are shaping the future of POS systems. Jacqueline says,  “When you're working through payments, you have to ensure that everything is stable from a payment's availability, acceptance, privacy, security and so forth. So your day-to-day can be intense and fast-moving, but what actually happens on the release side tends to be intentionally and meaningfully slower, comparatively.”   Resources Mentioned: Jacqueline Sigler https://www.linkedin.com/in/jnsigler-1/ GoDaddy | LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/godaddy/ GoDaddy | Website https://www.godaddy.com/ This episode is brought to you by Majestyk Apps We imagine, design and build digital products.
