A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I've worked alongside Amy for ten years, so I knew this podcast would be good, but I didn't expect how much it would move me. She talks about this profession the way it actually is: the late-night rebookings, the colleagues and clients who become friends, the quiet pride of pulling off a trip someone will remember for the rest of their life. There's no fluff here, just honest stories and hard-earned wisdom from someone who has built something special and genuinely wants other advisors to thrive. Whether you're brand new to the industry or have been doing this for decades, you'll come away feeling seen, encouraged, and a little more in love with the work. And if you've ever wondered what goes into planning a trip with an advisor, this is the best window you'll find. So proud of you, Amy, and so grateful to be part of what you've built. Can't wait for the next episode!

I just listened to the episode on the myths of being a travel advisor and why now is actually the best time to join the industry, and it's exactly the perspective I needed. Amy does a great job cutting through the outdated assumptions people still have about this career — that it's oversaturated, that AI and booking sites have made advisors obsolete, that there's no real opportunity left. She lays out clearly why the opposite is true right now. What I appreciated most is that it wasn't just cheerleading — she backed it up with real reasoning about the industry shifts happening. If you've been on the fence about becoming a travel advisor (or you're already one and need a reminder of why it's worth it), this episode is worth your time. Subscribing for more!
