In this episode of Mike’s Up Marchev I will be sharing an observation I’ve had for many years and one that resurfaced last week at a travel conference in Nashville, TN.
I refer to this as one upmanship, and I think it is a reminder for everyone, whether they are involved in the travel industry or not.
The formula I am sharing suggests that in order to be considered an interesting person, all it takes is for you to become interested in the other person’s story. This may come across as a blinding flash of the obvious, but it has been my observation over many years that few people have mastered this relationship building technique.
I think you will soon understand what I’m talking about, and hopefully, as a result of today’s episode, you will soon become a more interesting person.

Being on the downside of the curve, employment wise, I feel bad for men and women who have a job on Friday and find themselves unemployed on Monday.

Call Them Sooner Rather Than Later
March 17th, 2025 | Length 00:03:36It happened to me again this week. Not once. Not twice. But three times. A name popped into my head and I decided to contact that person, but I failed to act. You guessed it. They contacted me which resulted in the same lame response. "I was just thinking about…
