EPISODE 2

AI in Travel - An Enabler, Not a Replacement

What to expect:


In Episode 2, David Speakman shares his honest take on AI in the travel industry — where it helps, where it falls short, and why it should never sit in front of the person. From cutting down quote-building time to flight tracking and destination knowledge, AI has a clear role as the heavy lifter behind the scenes. But when a customer is stranded, scared, or planning something meaningful, nothing replaces a real conversation with someone who knows their name, their kids, and their favourite restaurant. David's view is simple: AI gives us more time to be human, not less. That's how PTC intends to use it.

EPISODE 1

Trust, Authenticity & Doing the Right Thing

What to expect:


In our first episode, PTC founder David Speakman sits down to talk about the pillars of trust that underpin everything Personal Travel Concierge is building. From his journey through the travel industry spanning over 30 years, to the lessons learned from building Travel Counsellors and beyond, David shares why authenticity, selflessness and genuine care for people aren't just buzzwords - they're the foundation of the business. If you're a home-based travel professional wondering whether your current home truly has your back, this one's worth a listen.
