369: Making Imagination Part Of Your Business Model With Lilliput Play Homes
Sep 14, 202650 min
In this episode of The Profitable Play Podcast, I’m sitting down with Steve and Dave from Lilliput Playhomes to talk about what really goes into designing and building play equipment for commercial spaces. I’ve worked with Lilliput for more than a decade — first when I chose their play homes for my own indoor playground and now as a parent with a Lilliput Playhome in my own home — so I was especially excited for this conversation. We talk about commercial safety requirements, durability, installation, ADA and fire code considerations, and some of the costly mistakes owners can make when working with contractors who don’t specialize in children’s play equipment. We also get into choosing play pieces, incorporating gross motor and interactive elements, creating custom designs, and using local businesses and landmarks to make a play space truly unique. If you’re designing an indoor playground or play café, comparing equipment vendors, or planning your build-out, this episode will help you make more informed decisions about one of the biggest investments in your business.

367: Why Great Indoor Playgrounds Are "Yes Spaces" (And the Play Area Mistakes That Drive Families Away)
Jul 28, 202655 min
In this episode of the Profitable Play Podcast, I sit down with Karri Bowen-Poole, founder of Smart Playrooms, a design firm specializing in creating intentional play spaces for both homes and commercial facilities. We explore what makes a truly great play environment and how thoughtful design can encourage independence, spark imagination, support child development, and create a better experience for both children and their caregivers. In this episode, we discuss: Karri's approach to designing intentional play spaces that support children's development. What makes a play space engaging for children of different ages and developmental stages. Why open-ended play is one of the most valuable elements of a well-designed environment. The "Yes Space" philosophy and how it encourages curiosity, independence, and confidence. How to create spaces where babies, toddlers, and older children can safely play together. Why mixed-age play benefits children's social, emotional, and imaginative development. The role pretend play and movement play have in creating meaningful, long-lasting engagement. How to incorporate sensory experiences, gross motor play, and fine motor activities throughout your space. Creative ways to make small, narrow, or awkward layouts feel functional and exciting. How to transform underutilized areas into engaging play opportunities. Design considerations for visibility, supervision, and safety without sacrificing exploration and creativity. Strategies for improving traffic flow and preventing bottlenecks in busy play areas. How intentional layouts encourage children to naturally move between different types of play. Common design mistakes play space owners make—and practical ways to avoid them. Whether you're building from scratch or looking to make better use of the space you already have, this episode offers practical ideas to help you create a play environment that children love and families return to again and again.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Amber, owner of Press Play Café in Ontario, Canada.

We talk about: Construction delays and what pushed back their opening Pitching landlords and investors on a play café concept Why café revenue was slower than expected How character meet-and-greets became a huge success Community vendor events that increased visibility and bookings Birthday party package changes she made after opening Staffing, training, and trial shifts Designing a more accessible and parent-friendly space Policies she added after opening The importance of constantly tweaking systems instead of expecting perfection on day one If you’re planning your business, newly opened, or trying to improve your current operations, this episode is packed with practical takeaways and honest insight from someone currently in the trenches.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
