An inside look at Global Travel Collection, the $2.4 billion powerhouse host agency (part 1, feat. Angie Licea)

<p>In this episode of Trade Secrets, recorded in person at Global Travel Collection&rsquo;s Arrive conference at the Fairmont Austin in June, get an update on all things GTC from president Angie Licea. From the labor of (mostly) love that was the GTC brand unification, uniting several agencies that sell $2.4 billion annually, to the Legacy in Motion program, which helps advisors both grow and sell their businesses, Licea offers an inside look at everything going on at the New York-based host agency. Then, she takes on several listener questions, ranging from breaking into ultra-high-net-worth travel to top holiday destinations. And for those who haven&rsquo;t seen the ending of &ldquo;Survivor 50,&rdquo; beware of a spoiler at the 54:25 mark.</p> <p>This is the first part in a two-part series of episodes recorded at Arrive.
