Speaker 1 (00:01):
Gets you hit us together and we're going to start
and party start. I'm ready to party.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The Elvis Duran after Party.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Like you are ready to get all right, righty, it's
just what is this a future?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
No swearing? Well, well, well look what the cat dragged in.
It's the after party podcast.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Maybe you know.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
We talk about travel a lot, and I got to say,
in life, I really don't have any regrets. But last
time we went on a vacation, I met someone who
made me rethink that, uh he was a host at
this hotel we were staying in. A kid from Paris.
He and his girlfriend have a little apartment in Paris.
But he has decided in his youth, he's like twenty
(00:56):
two years old. He has decided he is going to
continue this career around the world in the luxury travel business.
He's working at all like the best hotels, starting at
the very bottom rung, working himself up through the ranks.
And then he was in Greece at this great resort
and just a kid he's learning and he'll spend six
(01:18):
months in a place and he'll leave and go to
another one. Oh my god, it's totally acceptable. Totally acceptable.
What's that it's like white lotus. It's yes, same thing.
That's awesome. He started working at George Sank, which is
what the Four Seasons hotel in Paris, which is one
of those hotels, and he actually ended up learning how
to be on the wait staff in their very very
(01:40):
expensive restaurant. Right, so he learned from the best of
the best in hospitality. Then he's at this resort. Now
he's got another one lined up in the Caribbean. Now
he wants to go to Southeast Asia and work over there,
and that's his life. His girlfriend's just going to be
at home waiting for him when he's done with his
six month run. Can you imagine a life like that.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Sounds all the time. Yeah, Like how fun that would be.
Just pick up and go somewhere else, learn about it
and move on.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
My son Spencer's talking about that right now because he
was like, you know what, mom, Yeah, because technically he's
graduated college, but he's going back for his masters. And
then he's like and then after that he goes, I
don't know, he goes. I could see myself living in
different parts of the world for a couple months here,
a couple months there, you know, or a year here,
a year there. I'm like, do it. I said, that's
what you want to do.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Do it?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Well?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
As a person my age, it's not as feasible. Plus,
I mean, who wants to hire, you know, the old guy.
But just listening to him talk about the possibilities everywhere
he knows he wants to go, you could hear the passion.
Oh yeah, he's fired up, man. And I was thinking,
you know, after a drink or two, I'm how sad Am,
(02:51):
I I really wish I would have done that before
we started this career that we're all doing.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, these careers are pretty great though. Yeah, we're still
pretty lucky.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
And you could actually if you really wanted to. I
said it before, if you wanted to go someplace for
a month, but you just would have to bring your
little setup with you and do the show show there.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
But no, I just want to work, kind of work
at my own pace, do something totally different, you know.
I guess I could. I could travel the world and
be Walmart greeter, just greeting at all the Walmarts, like
around the globe.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
You curve, Yep, you could do that.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
That's all my dad should do. My dad should totally
be a Walmart Greeener.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
All right.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
It's gonna take a lot, though, to just pick up
and leave. Like when I was in Anguilla, we met
a family who was at a restaurant in Pennsylvania and
they just said, you know what, we have this successful business.
We're just gonna shut a close up shop and we're
gonna try our hand. It's starting all over again in Anguilla.
And luckily it worked out for them, but they're there permanently.
(03:55):
They picked up their entire life and just moved, and
I was just in all. My mind was blown. I'm like,
how do you just leave everything behind in one space?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
What do you do next?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Area?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's actually the way this guy is describing it. It
sounds easy. You just pack a bag and get a
job and get check.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I was checking out of the at a restaurant the
other night and spoke to some lady. She had lived
in Hawaiian. We started talking about Hawaii and then she
was here and I'm like, how did you get from
Hawaii to here? And she said she said, I sold
everything I own. I just take some clothes with me
and I stayed at an airbnb. Yeah, she said, and
I'll go from six seven months at a time and
just do that over and over. And she said that
she was choosing her next location.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Now, I think the problem we have is the lifestyle
that we all have right now.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yes, and we had owned too much crack exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It's yeah, you know, like I told you, I've been
reading all about like people a couple hundred years ago.
They literally had the clothes on their back and maybe
a case of like a toothbrush and uh, you know,
toenail clippers like that. Was it? Like that was these
some total their possessions. Anything else that they needed somebody
would let them borrow or they buy. Along the way,
(05:04):
they could pick up and move at the drop of
a hat.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Which they didn't even have half the time. But you're
taking chances by doing that, No you're not.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I mean we've like filled our lives with all these anchors,
like all this stuff, and then we wonder, why can't
I sale, Well, you've anchored yourself in the dumbest ways ever.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
It's crazy, yes, dumbest ways surrounded by crap. It's just
it's just crap.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So but anyway, my uh a friend I mad I
think I mentioned here he flies for Delta, right, So
he's he was here. He was based in out of
JFK for the last year or two years or something
like that, and he's like, you know what, I've had
enough in New York City. I want to move to
Salt Lake. Will you help me move? And I'm like,
oh God, I want to help this guy move. He
rented a car and had clothes and a couple of
(05:49):
things that he has gotten from different towns along the way.
I'm like, well, where's the rest of your stuff? He goes, no,
I'll just get it there.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, that's it, Like it's it's just stuff.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
That's what my mother law did. My mother in law
moved from England at one point to she was moving
to France, but they were going to live on a houseboat.
So they basically got rid of everything and and she
lived on this houseboat for years and years and years,
and it was just you know, on the side wherever
you park your boat. And anytime I would say to
(06:18):
my husband, well what should we send your mom, he
would say, you can't send her anything. He's like, she
doesn't need it. She lives on the boat. She's living
with less material. She's back in a house now. But
that's what they did. And you know what they did.
They bought little properties and they flipped them and that's
what they did to make a living while they were
out there. I mean it was brilliant, awesome.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, look, it's scary. He's bewildered all the junk.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
I just bought a porcupine quill lamp, made a real
porcupine scary, scary.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
You can take that with you around the world.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
But that's just one piece of thing that I owned.
And I've been buying these little things and now you're saying.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Like, oh, just leave it all behind, just sellad get
rid of it.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I feel like I'm so well and entrenched into this area.
Now I am anchored to this place, and to this.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Place with your garbage piled kids, I don't know. I mean,
is that really what's anchoring you and keeping you from
just flying around the world and meeting new people and
learning new cultures and blah blah blah that too.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Yeah, I have all this stuff now that I feel
responsible for. I mean it's not human.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Okay, to be fair, we all we all have too
much stuff. You know, you're not alone garbage. But when
but when I was talking to this kid, I was
sitting there listening to his stories and just where he
wants to go in this world, and how excited he
was about this future he knows nothing about yet, And
I'm thinking, God, how friggin awesome for him, you know.
(07:49):
So funny enough. I connected him with another friend of
mine who started out his his career in hospitality in Bali,
and now they're connected, and now they're going to get together.
He's gonna go to Bali and visit this guy, maybe
go work for him.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
We had a listener, a listener who fell in love
with Universal Orlando when we sent them on a trip,
fell in love with one of the hotels there, picked
up her whole life, moved to Universal Orlando and wound
up working for one of the hotels because yeah, and
that's where she lives now, and that's what she does.
She loved it.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Why all right? So if not you, maybe your niece
or nephew or someone who's young in your family or
world you're too old to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I think you can still totally do this.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh you know me.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I had an uber driver in Las Vegas the last
time I was in Vegas. He said that when when
he turned seventy. He just decided, He said he he
had all his family had moved away and gone places.
He moved to Vegas, became an uber driver. Said he's
never been happier.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
There you go, do it, torect I'm going to Vegas.
I'm gonna be an uber driver. Luckily, I don't have
a lot of stuff tie me down.
