    Tourism in Transition: Travel, Technology, and Talent

    Travel and tourism are among the world's largest industries, supporting hundreds of millions of jobs and contributing trillions of dollars to the global economy. Yet the industry is undergoing significant change. Workforce shortages, evolving traveler expectations, emerging technologies, and the rise of artificial intelligence are reshaping how people travel and how businesses operate. In this episode of Bold Exchange, we bring together leaders from hospitality, aviation, and travel services to explore the current state of tourism in South Florida, the trends driving the industry forward, and what the future of travel may look like.

    School Never Looked Like This

    What happens when education stops teaching for tests and starts preparing students for life? The questions keeping students up at night - Am I ready? What comes next? Will I make it? - are the same ones employers are asking about them. In this episode, Laurie Sallarulo sits down with Dr. Angela Fulton of Broward County Public Schools and Tom Milana of Transworld Business Advisors to explore 3DE by Junior Achievement, the high school model that's closing the gap between education and employment by replacing hypothetical assignments with real companies, real business challenges, and real-world skills. They'll dig into why the old playbook isn't enough anymore, and how bold partnerships between schools and business are building the workforce pipeline from the inside out. Because the future of education isn't just about what students know - it's about what they can do with it.  Listen in… Executive Producers: Laurie Sallarulo and Sharon Alexander Producer/Showrunners: Sharon Alexander Host: Laurie Sallarulo, President & CEO of Junior Achievement of South Florida Guest: Dr. Angela Fulton, Deputy Superintendent of Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) | Connect with Dr. Fulton on LinkedIn Guest: Thomas R.
