The road to nowhere: business travel for pleasure and profit with Thom Jones

This will be a practical of hacks, wisdom and words of advice on travelling, selling and sanity.

'I'm exhausted! Meetings, hotels and airports'. If you say this when you get home/back into the office...and it's true; you're doing it wrong. If it's not true but you say it anyway...why do we feel the need? Status is often confused with stress in our professional culture. Being on the road can be tough, but is always significantly better than being stood in the rain waiting for a number 38 bus. We are immensely lucky. We'll look at how to plan a trip, where to go, when and how to get there. What to pack, who to see and how to balance your needs and your work while also having an excellent time.

We will ask a clever room questions. Bring your own clever.

Thom Jones is director of Brock Solutions Agency and an associate to No Fluff.
