Zach Smith isn’t just building a travel company—he’s building a trust network across cultures.

In this episode, we explore how presence, connection, and intention shape not just better travel—but better leadership and living. Zach shares how discomfort, idealism, and a breakdown in Costa Rica all helped shape the path to Anywhere.com. You’ll leave with powerful reminders about alignment, curiosity, and the value of showing up fully wherever you are.

About Our Guest: Zach Smith is the founder and CEO of Anywhere, a human-powered travel company redefining how people explore the world.
Nearly 20 years ago, a series of serendipitous encounters while traveling spoke deeply to Zach’s heart and reshaped his path. What began as spontaneous connection became a lifelong calling: to build bridges between cultures through more meaningful travel.
Today, Anywhere operates as a vertically integrated trust network across multiple countries. Zach believes technology should scale empathy—not replace it—and that the best trips are still built on human trust, not algorithms. His mission is to give travelers back their presence—to feel safe, seen, and truly immersed in every moment."Be sure to checkout Anywhere.com for your next adventure in presence and connection and connect with Zach on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/anywhereincceo/recent-activity/all/
