  • Non-industry listener

    Not in the industry, but listening as a traveler who is interested in how it works (and how to make it work for me). I learned a lot from the interview but I have to say that Brandon and Sally’s personal stories about their adventures in the travel world really make this. Listen to the first two minutes and you’ll see what I mean. Five stars, Expedia Group!
