Welcome back to another episode of the TravelPulse Podcast!
This week I first discuss the latest trending news in the travel industry, including top winners at the 2024 Travvy Awards, how Donald Trump's return to President could impact travel, and more.
Later in the show, I welcome three lovely guests: Melissa Cooper, Director of Marketing for Northstar Retail Travel Group, Danielle Stephens, a travel advisor with Divine Travel Design, and Jerry Estrada Jr., Director of Trade Events & Programs for Carnival Cruise Line.
Together we discuss the inaugural Travel Industry 40 Under 40. Stephens and Estrada Jr. share insights into their career accomplishments and the challenges they overcame to get where they are today. Plus, they offer advice to young professionals aspiring to achieve similar success.
The interview on the 40 Under 40 begins after the 10:45-minute mark.
