In this inspiring episode of Leaving the Pack, I sit down with my very first Georgetown University roommate, Sarah Dandashy—a luxury travel and hospitality expert turned TV personality, TEDx speaker, best-selling author, and award-winning influencer.
Sarah is the author of Hospitality From Within and the co-host of the Good Morning, Hospitality podcast. She was recently honored on the cover of Global Hospitality magazine and named the #2 Hospitality Influencer by the International Hospitality Institute. But before all of that, she was just a college student navigating life alongside me.
In this candid conversation, Sarah shares her remarkable journey—how she left the pack early to chase her dreams, carving a unique path through passion, persistence, and a strong sense of purpose. We explore the formative college years that set the stage for her success, and the pivotal moments that defined her evolution from concierge to globally recognized thought leader. Tune in for a conversation on growth, grit, and chasing your dreams.
Follow Sarah on Instagram @askaconcierge for a daily dose of travel, hospitality, and motivation.
