Career Reinvention and the Art of Luxury Travel with Rodney

What happens when a successful financial advisor "flunks retirement" and discovers his true calling in the travel industry? Meet Rodney, who transformed a post-retirement hobby into one of the top 10 travel agencies in a network of over 3,000 franchises.

Episode Overview: Rodney shares his journey from 30 years in financial planning to building a luxury travel consultancy that serves clients aged 55-85. His team has completed 119 cruises collectively and maintains over 240 years of combined travel experience. We explore his philosophy about time, experience, and why professional travel planning often costs less than online booking.
