Webinar Announcement: From Stranded at Sea to a Lucrative Travel Business
Many dream of becoming their own boss, and Debra and Tony Thune made that a reality in an extraordinary way. Their journey began not with a perfect business plan but during an 81-day cruise cut short by the COVID pandemic, leaving them stranded at sea for 17 days. Utilizing crisis-management skills from their past careers as deputy sheriffs, they helped fellow passengers find food, information, and a way home. By the time they returned, they had their first 75 clients.
They never intended to start a company, but today they’ve served nearly 2,500 clients, traveled to 121 countries, and sailed on 32 different cruise lines—mostly through word of mouth.
