The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show

About This Episode: This week I was very excited to get a chance to meet my favorite professional athlete. It was a very cool experience, but I had higher aspirations. My hope was that I would get to interview this person, but it didn't work out this time. Yes, I told a lot of people how excited I was for the interview, but instead, I learned a valuable lesson: Disappointment will happen. It's how you respond and handling yourself with grace when it does happen that will show yourself and others who you really are.   See the Show Notes: www.jeremyryanslate.com/620   Sponsors: Audible: Get a free 30 day free trial and 1 free audiobook from thousands of available books.

About This Episode: I hired someone new this last month, in a position that I had been very hesitant to fill: director of sales. I previously just did not want to let it go, but to go next level its what I really needed to do; it turned out that it was the right decision. I realized that I was actually the barrier to the next level of growth.   See the Show Notes: www.jeremyryanslate.com/617   Sponsors: Audible: Get a free 30 day free trial and 1 free audiobook from thousands of available books.

About This Episode: I by no means consider myself a digital nomad, we have an office and a great staff, but I believe that traveling increases your worldview and is incredible for personal development.  I've learned a few things: Look on Groupon or Living Social (They're the same company now, pick one) Get an airline miles credit card; Capital One Venture Card is pretty good from what I've heard Check out Travel Zoo; only sign up for their top 20 email list otherwise you'll get spammed Book closer to travel to get better rates Use sites like Orbitz for last-minute deals, but do your first search in an incognito window because they'll cookie you and the price will go up Download Google maps for the cities you're going to on WiFi; they'll work on airplane mode (including the GPS, which is EPIC). Use public transportation (Trains ROCK), many cities sell a 48 hour or 7-day pass for unlimited public transportation Avoid taxis, they can be expensive or untrustworthy, use Uber where available.  Eat off the beaten path, it won't be what the people really eat and will be 5x as expensive; stay in residential areas. If you are confused and need help, walk into the largest name brand hotel, collect yourself, act like you're staying there and ask for help. Travel in the offseason; it's cheaper Visit sites on a weekday  I've been a bunch of places and none of them hit my wallet hard...
