After a brief hiatus due to COVID-19, the cruise ship industry is back and better than ever!

Today's ships can be as large as a floating city. How do cruise ship companies handle logistics of this magnitude?

While most of us are excited to watch our teams on the field, there’s a whole other team of people behind the scenes that makes it all possible. Without them, there is no college football.

There are equipment managers who are tasked with keeping up with every piece of equipment from helmets, to shoulder pads, to cleats and more during home and away games.

There are nutritionists and chefs who must prepare countless meals and snacks that are specifically created to enhance the athletes’ performance.
There are multi-million (and even multi-billion) dollar facilities and stadiums being built every year to accommodate the growth of the sport and the business.

The team on the football field will always get the most credit and attention, but the logistics behind these college football programs are truly impressive, and we believe they deserve a little more attention.

Since its opening, the Panama Canal has been one of the most influential and important examples of human engineering to date.

It literally transformed the geography of Central America, and it opened trade routes that had been impossible before.

In the transportation world, it may just be the single most impactful project ever completed when you consider its impact on the global economy and the supply chain.

But even as the Panama Canal transformed the way global shipping operates, it obviously doesn’t come without its challenges, including competition from other, newer canals, and environmental factors that constantly threaten its infrastructure and operation.

Swifties rejoice! Taylor is back and better than ever.

Taylor Swift has been in the center of the music industry for the better part of a decade at this point, but her success on tour this year practically cements her position as one of the most (if not the absolute most) popular entertainer in the country and possibly the world.

And if she came to your city, you couldn't miss it. Her tour was responsible for contributing millions dollars to local economies, not to mention the $55 million in bonuses that she gifted to her tour crew.

How does a tour this massive operate?

How much does it cost to put on the biggest tour of all time?

Greyson and Whitney answer those questions and explore the massive success and insane logistics of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in this week's episode of Shifting Gears!
