Show notes

This episode is our first bonus ‘suitcase episode’ where once a month we’ll connect with adventure, travel, culture and languages, because I know our listeners have a sprinkling of wanderlust AND what we learn about ourselves and others through travel is crucial for being a leader and decision-maker in today’s international environment.
