My Genesis story - how I got started in the travel industry

When people (like you) see my business, I'm sure many assume it was always like this... glamorous, big, profitable, and fun.But just like every business owner and entrepreneur, I started with the following:Zero followersZero subscribers on my email list (I didn't even know what an email list was or why I needed one)Zero idea of what my business was going to beZero capital to get started (wouldn't have known what to do with it if I had it)Zero goals and no plan to get thereSo I thought the best way to launch this podcast is to share with you my Genesis story. You'll learn about my jobs, from a part-time shoe store to a senior-level marketing and revenue executive in the cruise line industry - and of course, my time with the infamous Anthony Bourdain.You and I are much more alike than you think.▶︎▶︎▶︎Your HostSandra McLemore: Multi-lingual Travel Expert | TV Host 🌍 ✈️🌟 90+ countries explored | 2 decades in the industry📺 Featured on CBS, ABC, NewsNation, CNN, FOX, and top marketing morning shows💼 Shares the stage as a renowned keynote speaker with travel CEOs at international events🎙️ Founder & CEO, Travel Marketing & Media - over 42K travel advisors are part of her community🎧 Host of top-rated iTunes podcast for travel business owners🎥 Produces captivating travel, reality & documentary programsLet's explore the world together! 🌎 🧳 ✨#TravelIndustryExpert #TVHost #TravelMarketing #TravelPodcastwww.sandramclemore.com | www.travelmarketingandmedia.com▶︎▶︎▶︎Welcome to Travel Marketing & Media!
