What’s in this episode:

When was the last time you asked yourself, “What’s the one place I have to see before I die?”

In this deeply personal episode, Michael & Courtney share the story of their African safari — from trekking with gorillas in Rwanda to hearing lions hunt outside their tent — and how that experience reshaped the way they live and run their business.

This isn’t a vacation brag reel — it’s a blueprint for disconnecting without your business falling apart, building systems that buy your freedom, and designing a life where every year feels like a bucket-list year.

Whether your dream trip is across the world or just across state lines, the lessons here will help you actually make it happen.

[00:00] Why “navigating the unknown” unlocks your best ideas
[01:30] The one question we ask before booking any trip
[04:00] How our first bucket-list trip created Weaver Sales Academy
[06:30] The real cost of Africa — and why it became a business goal
[08:00] Why this became our #1 travel experience out of 34 countries
[09:00] Key takeaway #1: The power of fully disconnecting
[12:00] Key takeaway #2: Designing next-level customer experiences
[16:00] Key takeaway #3: People + processes = freedom
[20:00] Key takeaway #4: Protect your health so you can say “yes”
[21:00] Key takeaway #5: The gift of being off social media
[23:00] Networking in unexpected places
[26:00] Why you can’t wait until “someday” to take the damn trip
