Hello. Hello. Hello. This is Gresh from the I Am CEO podcast. And I have a very special guest on the show today. I have Darrien Watson. Darrien, excited to have you on the show.
Darrien Watson 00:56
I'm excited to be here.
Gresham Harkless 00:58
Yes, absolutely. And you're doing so many awesome things. So before I jumped in, I want to read a little bit more about Darrien. So you can hear about some of those awesome things.
Darrien, travel tech innovator and the dynamic CEO of Travel Squad Trip has a dedicated mission to foster community and meaningful connections through travel experiences. With a remarkable record, Darrien has successfully secured 1. 5 million in funding generated over 7 million in travel sales and expertly facilitated 6, 000 trips.
And in 2022 funded, he founded Squad Trip, an automated booking platform designed to empower travel organizers by providing a robust site of professional tools, enabling them to expand and flourish within their businesses.
His achievements speak volumes in the travel technology and commerce space. And I congratulate him a little bit earlier on his recent marriage and super excited that he's been able to celebrate and achieve that, but he's a serial entrepreneur. I'm going to call him. And he has a really cool story, I was listening on how and why he started Squadtrip.
Which I'm sure we're going to dive into. But one of the things that he said that really stuck with me in one of the interviews is said, you have to be clear and steadfast with the vision, but flexible with the details.
And I think so many times when we have dreams and aspirations, we get stuck on the how instead of the why. And I love that you're really stuck on that.
So Darrien, excited to have you on the show. Are you ready to speak to the I Am CEO community?
Darrien Watson 02:19
Absolutely.
