Our Co-Founder’s Journey So Far And His Words Of Wisdom

An example of resilience, this interview is guaranteed to leave you feeling inspired. You’ll also hear about some of the challenges Co-founder Steve has had to overcome.

Before the pandemic, our regular events would give franchisees an opportunity to meet both our Co-Founders. Without this opportunity (at least for now) we wanted to give you the opportunity to hear their story and to get to know them a little better.

There is this misconception that you need to be brash, loud, to have a big ego to be an entrepreneur.

Yet you openly described yourself as the shyest person you’ll ever meet…

Host: Warren Munson

Shy at heart Steve isn’t what most people perceive a successful entrepreneur to be. This podcast interview reveals why Steve trained as a firefighter despite being scared of heights, what his dad taught him, and who his first-ever client was.

“If I look back ten or 15 years ago, I could never have imagined creating this sort of success.”

Steve Witt

Some of the questions asked in this insightful interview include:

  • What happened to your first internet business?
  • How did you get into the travel industry?
  • What was last year like for you?
