What Greece Taught Me About Creating a Better Business Experience

To feel that when you're there, you know, it's it's just the island way of life.

This is part of the reason why I'm so heavily involved in Trap Rock is because it's an escape and it's it's something to help you attain that happiness that.

we, you know, we wish we could get all the time from vacation.

But what I really, really noticed was people are so kind and they were so welcoming.

Now, keep in mind, this island that we were on is not a touristy island at all.

Lots of locals and it's not Mykonos or Santorini.

There's not this like crazy nightlife scene going on and everything's so incredibly expensive and glamorous and all of that.

This island was just so humbling and beautiful.

The natural beauty was just amazing.

But things felt so welcoming and organized and personal.

And, yeah, I mean, it's – I know, like I said, it's hard because it was an island, so you expect a certain feel out of island life.

But things just felt thoughtful and still like they were working.

And, yeah, it was just – it was hard to find anything that I would say – didn't really sit well with me.

And the businesses over there.

Yeah, it's just it's, it's so it's so amazing.

I love supporting small businesses wherever we are there.

There are no Hilton's there are no Marriott's on this island.

Everything is locally owned and operated.

And it's just so good to see people being successful and while sure, tourism is increasing, it's just good to see the mom and pop places, you know, still around or even coming up.

And it's just, it was a really, really good feeling.

Now, I do want to, I want a disclaimer.

This is not a we do everything wrong in America type podcast episode, okay? This is not we do everything better.

This is, or Europe does everything better.

This is just an observation, okay? So that is my disclaimer.

I don't want anyone to take this as, oh, we as Americans should take all of our lessons from Europe and we do everything wrong.
