On this weeks episode, Nic and Ali catch up on the morning of Fourth of July, hence the name of the episode. Nicole recaps TravelCon 2019, Matthew Kepne’s travel conference that was in Boston this June and the fun that was had! Everyone there was doing amazing, inspirational things, from travel bloggers, travel vloggers, journalists, podcasters and tour operators. Some of the keynote speakers included Cheryl Strayed, Mark Manson, and Clay Hebert. Nic caught up with a few familiar faces including Melissa Bitz from Traveling Bitz, Aaron Schlein with Dramatic Dad and the Family Travel Radio Podcast, Kevin Hill with Two Adults No Kids and Erick Prince, the Minority Nomad a photojournalist. She also chatted with Meggan Kaiser, the author of Everything for Free – Free Travel for the Modern Nomad. Nicole shares Clay Hebert’s incredible advice on how the elevator pitch isn’t doing you any favors and how to properly introduce yourself.
Ali catches us up to speed on what she is reading which is Esther Perel’s the ‘State of Affairs‘ and Peggy Orenstein’s ‘Girls and Sex‘ in preparation for raising a young daughter. She is contemplating how girls are taught to view their bodies and changing that landscape. Ali also had a guilt free mommy night out with one of her best friends and details how that felt.
What is new with you? What are you working towards?
