-- Gatemaster Technology formally announces 'Live with Sondra,' a business leadership podcast purpose-built for attraction owners and professionals seeking actionable strategies to address operational challenges and scale their businesses.

As of early 2026, the podcast has featured 54 guest experts across 54 episodes while maintaining a 5-star average rating, establishing it as a trusted resource within the attractions sector.

Modern attraction operators face mounting pressures: managing risk while securing owner wealth, developing confident managers to solve operational gaps, scaling multi-unit operations, and integrating emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and augmented reality into guest experiences. Drawing on Gatemaster's 33-year history in the industry, the podcast delivers practical responses to these pain points through episodes like 'Scale Your Attraction: Manage Risk & Secure Owner Wealth' and 'Solve Operational Gaps: Develop Confident Managers.' Topics span refund protection strategies, employee empowerment through technology, and fostering diversity and inclusion—all designed to help operators stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
Sondra Shannon, CEO of Gatemaster Technology, hosts each episode and brings recognized industry thought leadership to the conversations. Guests include attraction strategists, management training specialists, multi-unit park operators, and experience design leaders who provide vetted, credible insights. Shannon's external recognition extends beyond her own platform; she appeared on the independent industry podcast 'Destination on the Left' in January 2024, discussing how technology removes friction, increases revenue, and enhances guest experiences. This external validation reinforces that listeners are learning from sources with proven expertise and real-world results.
Episodes are distributed across multiple platforms to accommodate modern consumption habits, including YouTube, LinkedIn, RSS, Spotify, Podcast Index, Fountain, and True Fans. Live streaming options on YouTube and LinkedIn allow real-time engagement, while social media channels provide updates and community interaction opportunities. This multi-platform approach ensures that attraction professionals can access content regardless of their preferred listening method, whether during commutes, at their desks, or while managing on-site operations.
The podcast continues to attract a strong lineup of guests, with booking extending into the coming months. Past guests have praised the experience, noting the opportunity to connect with a targeted audience, the candid nature of conversations, and Shannon's genuine approach. One guest remarked, 'I appreciate the opportunity to connect with your audience and share insights about our technology and its impact on theme parks,' while another described it as 'a great experience' and expressed enthusiasm for the podcast's mission. These testimonials signal momentum and underscore the platform's relevance as a sought-after venue for industry professionals.
For attraction owners and professionals aiming to stay competitive, grow revenue, improve operations, and build strategic networks, 'Live with Sondra' offers access to a community of peers and industry leaders. Listeners can subscribe on YouTube, LinkedIn, Spotify, or RSS to receive notifications of new episodes, while prospective guests can apply through the podcast's media page to share their expertise with the audience. Backed by Gatemaster Technology—a company with extensive experience in transaction processing—the podcast represents a trusted educational resource designed to support the long-term success of the attractions industry.
