We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Brittany Shuford a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Brittany, so great to have you with us today. There are so many topics we want to ask you about, but perhaps the one we can start with is burnout. How have you overcome or avoided burnout?
While it’s challenging to completely avoid burnout in a demanding career, I’ve developed effective strategies to overcome it when it arises. By prioritizing self-care, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and seeking support from colleagues and mentors, I’ve learned to navigate through periods of burnout with resilience and determination.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
As the owner of my agency, I’m deeply passionate about curating unforgettable travel experiences for my clients. What excites me most is the opportunity to not only explore the world myself but also to help others discover new destinations, cultures, and perspectives. I thrive on the challenge of crafting personalized itineraries that exceed expectations and create lasting memories. Travel isn’t just a job for me; it’s a lifestyle and a source of endless inspiration. I’m dedicated to continuously refining and expanding my agency to ensure that every journey we facilitate is truly exceptional.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Reflecting on my journey, three qualities stand out as pivotal to my success: my openness to meeting new people and fostering relationships, my unwavering determination to succeed, and my focus on giving rather than solely gaining. For those at the outset of their journey, I advise embracing authenticity and making their path uniquely their own. Cultivating genuine connections, staying resolute in their goals, and prioritizing the act of helping others can all propel them forward on their personal and professional endeavors. Remember, your journey is yours alone, and therein lies its greatest power and potential.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
Yes, I’m actively seeking collaborations, particularly with wellness or fitness influencers or anyone interested in hosting group trips, as well as travel professionals interested in expanding their opportunities. Those interested can reach out to me via email at [email protected].
