#41 Can you have a corporate career AND a business? Travel advisor Kimberly Smith of Pursuit Travel Company says you don't have to choose. In this episode, she shares how she built her travel advisory business and social clubs while working full-time in marketing, and why building a business alongside a 9-to-5 can be a more sustainable approach to entrepreneurship. Kim shares the corporate skills she brought into her business, clears up some of the biggest misconceptions about working with a travel advisor, and shares practical tips for saving money on travel when flights and hotels are so expensive. We also talk about travel planning, affordable travel, building community, social events, book clubs, and how she’s creating spaces that support local Black-owned businesses. If you’ve ever felt pressure to pick one lane, corporate career or entrepreneurship, or you’re tired of always being the travel planner in the group, this episode is for you.
