Podcast Summary:
Andrea (“Drea”) and her team inspire me. I have personally traveled the world and fully appreciate when I am able to authentically connect with the people of the region I am visiting. Drea’s emphasis on authentic experiences rather than simply bus “drive by gazing,” is a refreshing approach to a travel industry that is increasingly dominated by familiar experiences.
As she has built LocalAdventura, she has also experienced her own personal growth. In this interview she gets personal about:
- Why her favorite quote is from Margaret Mead
- How overcoming overthinking and over-planning helped her grow the company
- How using experiments and taking more risks were key to growing the company
- Why she invites other founders to speak with her team
- What happens when she sponsors team experiment competitions

Do you need quality design work, fast? When you are growing your startup, you and your team will eventually need designs for logos, business cards, t-shirts, banners, social posts, etc. I personally recommend DesignCrowd the next time you need some design work. We used this amazing crowdsourcing platform to help us design our logo for “Trail Team 10.” Not only was it easy, but it was a great experience collaborating with creative designers around the world. We received over 100 quality designs to choose from. Check it out and let me know what you think.
