Humans of Travel

Encore: Jenn Lee of Travel Planners International Talks Bankruptcy, Changing Careers and Vulnerability


Listen Later

This special encore episode of Humans of Travel is brought to you by TravelAge West.

OUR GUEST 

Jenn Lee - Vice president of sales and marketing for Travel Planners International 

Jenn is known for her infectious energy, fabulous curls and tell-it-like-it-is mentality, and in this inaugural episode of Humans of Travel, she doesn’t hold back on getting real. The charismatic Lee shares the secrets behind all that energy (hint: one essential component is wine), as well as how she greets each morning before heading into another busy day.  

We also get a peek into Lee’s childhood, which was full of love and support but also constant change — including father figures and, at one point, even her first name.  

What’s more, there were bumps on her career path, including getting fired, switching industries and filing for bankruptcy. But Lee learned from these challenges and eventually got to where she is today: successfully guiding an entrepreneurial-minded travel advisor community.
