    Don’t understand how a podcaster wants to be taken seriously while also having someone line Garvy Vee as a guest. There’s no insight here, just buzz phrases and anecdotes. I can find a better use of my $10.

“Dreams Don’t Have a Price”: The Philosophy Behind Lake Como’s Most Iconic Hotels with Valentina De Santis
Q: What factors drive the growth in six-figure luxury trips and how does SmartFlyer approach delivering such itineraries?
Growth comes from highly complex, often multi-destination itineraries that are private and experiential. We design trips after deeply understanding clients, conduct pre-departure briefings, and pressure-test pacing to ensure a seamless experience.
Ian Schrager
Q: What advice would you give to your younger self?
Follow your heart, break all the rules, and don't be afraid of failure.
Ian Schrager
Q: What were some of the lessons you learned about curating experiences during your Studio 54 days, and do you think those lessons still apply today?
The magic created at Studio 54 was essential and carried into the hotel business; it's about creating magic and excitement rather than just relying on the product.
