This was a fun episode and a little different. We kind of put this episode in two buckets. For those of you that have close friends that you've considered going on vacation with, we have a quick checklist to consider BEFORE going on that vacation. Just to make sure you keep that friendship intact. We didn't put this on the list, but maybe don't invite Jay Cutler on vacation with your family. ANYWAY.....
The second bucket acknowledges a problem for a lot of us as we get married and have kids. It's not as easy to make friends. Especially another couple that you get along with and want to spend time with. If you're in that bucket, we had Entrepreneur and Author of The Two Hour Cocktail Party, Nick Gray stop by and offer up a unique and fun way to meet and befriend the kind of people that you'd want to travel with.
Nick is such a cool guy. You'll definitely want to listen to what he has to say. He's very passionate about the need for close friendship and offers a super interesting way to do it. And no, introverts, you're not off the hook. Give it a listen and make sure and stop by Nick's corner of the world at www.nickgray.net!

Meet the Hosts
Growing up, Rob Jones mainly traveled to Florida for vacation. Those family trips to Orlando and the Gulf Coast are cherished memories that influence him to this day. His entire professional career has involved travel. From working in the music business to event marketing, Rob has traveled to 46 states and five countries. Rob has been married to his wife, Traci, for 16 years and they love to travel with their three children: Ruthie, Nash, and Chase.
Traci's been shaking up the Dawson County School System for four years now, injecting it with her unique brand of energy and enthusiasm. When she's not molding young minds, you'll find her co-conspiring with her sister at Seasonal Events and Design—because who doesn't love a good party?
She's a self-proclaimed beach aficionado, never meeting a sandy shore she didn't instantly click with. And let's not forget her partner-in-crime for the past eighteen years, Rob, who's been keeping up with her antics and their three beautiful troublemakers—Ruthie, Chase, and Nash. Together, they're a whirlwind of chaos, laughter, and love.
