About this episode

Rob Ryan and Sarah Dandashy discuss the transformative power of travel, hospitality, and curiosity in leadership.

What if the best trip you'll ever take doesn't begin with a passport... but with a different perspective? In this episode of Entrepreneurial Thinkers , Rob Ryan sits down with luxury hospitality expert, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and Ask A Concierge founder Sarah Dandashy for a conversation that goes far beyond travel. Together they explore why the experiences that change us most aren't always the ones that cost the most, how genuine hospitality can transform relationships, what the travel industry reveals about today's rapidly changing world, and why curiosity may be one of the most underrated leadership skills we possess. Whether you're building a business, leading a team, planning your next adventure, or simply hoping to reconnect with the people around you, this conversation is a thoughtful reminder that the most memorable journeys often begin long before you leave home.
