Four high-rise hotels surround Starbucks like castle ramparts, each filled with caffeine-crazed travelers. for most business travelers, it’s also incredibly helpful. But Mike becomes memorable when he connects with a core truth of travelers–we're in unfamiliar territory and need good wayfinding.

Yesterday, I gave a presentation in Tempe, AZ to Agencyside , a conference of advertising and PR agency owners.

To kick things off, I’ll share that I once spent 18 months traveling on my own through Europe and the Middle East. I’d only planned to travel for about 3 weeks. They sent me to a conference in Huntsville Alabama where I helped with event logistics for a distinguished speaker. I’ve never forgotten it.
