Tune in Saturday, September 12th at 11 AM to hear Ira speak with
Max Hartshorne, of Go Nomad, whose teenage trip to Europe was so exhilarating he made it his life work. They discuss how Max helps tourism boards and brands to get their message across, about the exotic and the unlikely. How travel is about the future, and planning, which psychologist say is as much fun as the actual trip. How Max has developed his unique way of travel, including not focusing on the itinerary so much, until he arrives (just as his favorite movie is
one he had no idea about, beforehand). How and why his favorite thing is traveling by himself, ie: hired by France to promote 29 cities there. How he monetizes his repository of articles by working with other travel sites, with a lot of cross promotion. How even during the pandemic, they produce a steady stream of articles. How they differentiate from mainstream travel gurus, covering islands
you never heard of, and unlikely places, like Arkansas or Missouri! So tune in!
