  • Your Business Brain Lunch Break

    I look forward to every episode of Strategic Travel Entrepreneur—Rita makes biweekly feel like a smart coffee chat with a business-savvy friend who’s been there and gets it. She brings guests, ideas, and real-world strategies on everything from marketing ecosystems, systems, to boosting client experience—and always in a digestible, actionable way that leaves me hitting play again and again. Five stars, hands down!

  • Lead generation podcast review

    I absolutely loved your podcast series, the four episodes on getting leads. However, I think you missed a huge niche in my opinion Disney. Would you be willing to do a fifth episode specifically on Disney not specifically Disneyland or Disney World but Disney as a company in general as a niche in general? I think it was around episode 143.
