Join Stefan Klopp, CTO at Matador Network and creator of Guide Geek, as he explores how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the travel industry. Stefan discusses the shift from traditional video-focused destination marketing to AI-powered trip planning. He reveals how Guide Geek evolved from a consumer chatbot on WhatsApp and Instagram into a B2B SaaS platform helping destination marketing organizations worldwide. Stefan addresses the challenges of AI-generated fake reviews, the anxiety-reducing benefits of having AI travel assistants in your pocket, and why destinations are eager to adopt AI despite concerns about hallucinations and incorrect information. He predicts that agentic AI will be the next breakthrough, creating autonomous travel concierges that can plan, book, and manage entire trips seamlessly.

In this video, I break down the must-have essentials for overlanding and call out the gear that's just hype (or a total waste of money). Whether you're new to overlanding or looking to refine your setup, I'll help you figure out what's worth packing and what's better left behind.I've tested a lot of gear over the years, and I've learned what actually makes a difference when you're off the grid.

Among all the valuable metals, gold stands out as the preferred choice for investment. Unlike fiat currency, gold has consistently retained its value over the centuries. Many view gold as a means to transfer and safeguard their wealth from one generation to another. However, in the present, is investing in gold still a profitable option? In this engaging episode, I sit down with Deven Soni, a seasoned private investor with a strong focus on alternative and digital assets. Join us for an insightful discussion as we dive into the world of gold, exploring its unique characteristics, inflation rates, and what sets gold apart from the world of cryptocurrencies.  Tune in and gain valuable insights from our expert guest! --- Listen to the podcast here: Gold Investments: Strategies and Insights with Deven Soni Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. I'm back here, episode number 101, after taking a little bit of a summer off. Hopefully, you checked out the 100th episode where I got my friend and podcast host, Luana Bossetti, to interview me and talk about my new endeavors. But here we are at the end of the summer, right back to the same format of interviewing people who pursue their true passions in life, pursue something that they really want to see in the world. We're going to start off this kind of new season, kind of new time here with my guest today, Deven Soni, who is the co-founder and CEO of the Matador Network.  ---   Deven, welcome to the program.   Great. Thank you for having me.   Yeah, thank you very much for joining us from lovely Las Vegas, Nevada. Always a wonderful place. And let's start off telling us a little bit about the Matador Network. It's kind of an alternate way that people can invest their money.   Absolutely. So, what matter really is that, at the end of the day, is a company, lots of people buy, sell, and trade precious metals, starting with gold in a really easy streamlined fashion, the same way that they could buy stocks with Matador or crypto tokens with Coinbase. It's just really an easy, streamlined way for people to participate in the precious metals economy.   I know we just went through a period, potentially still in this period or have another period again where people are really concerned about inflation and people are wanting hedges against that and hedges against kind of the entire expansion of the monetary supply, which has really been going on in earnest for a little over 15 years now. So what does the precious metals offer that, say, something like bitcoin, what's the difference between when someone's going to want to invest in one versus the other?   Absolutely, that's a great question. It's a really interesting one. I'm going to take a little digression because I think when you think about gold, historically, or precious metals over the last 500 years or hundreds of years, it's been sort of that mainstream go-to asset when times get rough, when there's wars, inflation, pandemics, inverted yield curve, all these things, you generally see precious metals outperform the majority of other assets. However, we really haven't had a time like we have in the last couple of years where you're seeing some of these issues in the world but you also have a whole variety of new assets, right? Bitcoin wasn't around in the 80s. And, similarly, there's just fewer options. You can go on your phone and invest in a bunch of things, fine art, whiskey, whatever, but I think our thought at Matador is really that gold and bitcoin have their own kind of places for people to buy. Digital assets are great because they kind of are investing in the future in some sense, in this idyllic world where a lot more transactions are digital, the unbanked use cryptocurrencies and if you watch crypto for the last 10 or 15 years, I think the world is certainly getting closer to that but I think there's still a lot of challeng...

It's called Drake's Right of Passage for a reason. Eben learned this the hard way back in December, when he embarked on the maiden voyage of the Sylvia Earle, a new ship from Australian cruise line Aurora Expeditions. En route he battled 20-foot waves, rowdy passengers, and the seclusion that only accompanies being stuck on a boat at the bottom of the planet -- all while doing his darndest to ward off seasickness.On today's podcast, Eben recounts the journey through the story he wrote for Matador Network. It's a tale of true adventure -- so buckle up and don't let your stomach turn. Relevant links: What It's Like To Sail To Antarctica on a Cruise Ship's Maiden Voyage Aurora Expeditions Eben's Instagram Tim's Instagram

Artificial intelligence is a controversial yet fascinating topic, particularly since the release of Chat GPT in November 2022. Matador Network founder and CEO Ross Borden joins No Blackout Dates to discuss how AI will shape the future of travel – from the way we research and plan trips to how we actually book and pay for them. The timing of today's interview is of particular importance at Matador, as the company's new AI-powered travel recommendation service Guide Geek officially launches this week. Ross discusses the idea behind Guide Geek as well as how he sees AI coming to the forefront of nearly every aspect of daily life. The trio also get into where AI falls short and what needs to happen to keep it from taking over the world, Terminator 2 style. Are our darkest dystopian fears about to come true? No one knows. But as Tim says, you can spark a legal joint to the inevitability of progress. Even if that progress takes a while to win over popular opinion.In Hot Takes, Tim and Eben discuss their personal biggest fears surrounding AI. Both, it seems, are worried about the potential for harmful deepfakes to run rampant across social media. The hosts also fear that many aspects of the media – including travel recommendations and planning – might lose that personal touch.Relevant links: GuideGeek from Matador Bing's A.I.

Watch your manners! What's expected in one country can be considered repulsive in another. Travel with me as we roam the world in search of unique eating etiquette. Content provided by Matador Network's article, “7 Most Fascinating Food Etiquette Rules Around the World” and Travel Earth's article, “18 Rules Of Dining Etiquette From Around The World”.

We're trying something new this week on No Blackout Dates. To complement our interview episodes, every other week we will feature a read-aloud of a crazy travel story from Matador Network. This week's adventure is from writer Nicholas Mancall-Bitel, entitled "My Car Broke Down in the Sahara, and It Taught Me About Trust." The story is read aloud by our own Tim Wenger. We chose this particular narrative because it demonstrates many of the values that we hold true at Matador: Travel is the best way to learn not only about other places and cultures but about yourself. People are generally good and want to help each other. When you're far from home and in a pinch, help tends to come from the unlikeliest of sources. We hope you enjoy this travel tale.Relevant links: My Car Broke Down in the Sahara, and It Taught Me About Trust. Nicolas Mantell-Bitel author bio at Matador Network

Remi Bumstead did what all of us have talked about doing at some point: buying an old bus and driving it across Africa to donate to a school of deaf kids. Ok, maybe not all of us. Remi's bus, dubbed the Janga Bus, was bought in Germany, fixed up in the UK, and driven south from London across Europe and into Africa en route to The Gambia. Upon arrival, Remi and his trip partner Alexandra Zeitlin donated the bus to the Kadect School for the Deaf. Oh, and they turned the entire project into a documentary film – aptly titled Janga Bus – that debuts on Matador Network this month.It's an inspiring story of providing a much-needed form of transportation to deaf schoolchildren, who wouldn't otherwise be able to get to school in their rural part of the country. On today's pod, Remi joins the guys to talk all things overland travel. On the docket are sketchy border crossings, hiding film gear from international authorities, and how they pulled off this incredible feat. There's talk of breakdowns, unforgettable meals, and the incredible people Remi and Alexandra encountered on the journey.In Hot Takes, Eben brings up the practicality (or lack thereof) of vegan restaurants in a world that long ago accepted veggie dishes as normal. Tim shares his most embarrassing Valentine's Day story, and the pair ponder pre-trip fear. Relevant links: Remi Bumstead Janga Bus Kadect Remi's Instagram Tim's Instagram Eben's Instagram News of the Day: Turkmenistan's infamous ‘Gates of Hell' may finally close Trip company tempts travelers with $500 off European vegan food tours BONUS: Britain will no longer require COVID-19 testing for vaccinated travelers

Marko Randelovic is a documentary filmmaker and photojournalist from the UK whose work focuses heavily on Southeast Asia. Marko joins No Blackout Dates to discuss his new film, Makepung, which debuts on Matador Network on January 12. Makepung tells the story of Bali's long-running tradition of buffalo racing. That's right – there's a dedicated cohort of Balinese who aren't afraid to hop on a water buffalo and chase speed, glory, and honor. Lest you be worried about animal rights, these water buffalo are among the most cared-for animals on the Indonesian island. Also on today's docket is the lifestyle of an international filmmaker. What kept him going throughout a global pandemic that severely restricted his – and everyone else's – ability to vagabond? He also notes why it's so important to connect with the communities you visit rather than just experience a place through its travel or expat lens. Marko discusses the differences between visiting Canggu and Ubud, and how even the island's famed beach club scene has a spiritual side.In Hot Takes, Tim and Eben discuss the merits of Don't Look Up and debate whether or not Yelp reviews are bullsh*t. Tim wonders what the heck “smart casual” dress means, and Eben admits that he actually does enjoy the outdoors (as long as he's far from home).Relevant links: Marko Randelovic Don't Look Up The best places to go in Bali for every type of traveler Dress codes and what they mean Pizzeria UNO Marko's Instagram Tim's Instagram Eben's Instagram News of the Day: Why you should liquefy your corpse when you die It's true – McDonald's is putting stationary bikes in its restaurants BONUS: Help the Joshua Tree gain protection under the Endangered Species Act

You know those recap episodes your favorite TV show slips in mid-season, because they're too lazy to put out new content? And you know how you usually skip it? Well, this is our recap episode, but don't skip it just yet. No Blackout Dates is ringing in 2022 by doing exactly what they say you shouldn't do in the new year – living in the past.  Not only are we reflecting on our favorite episodes of 2021, but also our favorite travel destinations of the past year, and the best books we've read. We're also looking ahead to the travel trends we'd love to see die out in 2022. And it wouldn't be a year-end recap without getting a little emo. We have a lot to be thankful for. In 2021, No Blackout Dates partnered with Matador Network and began working with its amazing Studios team to optimize the production of our show. And we heard from many of our listeners about what you like and don't about No Blackout Dates. Expect much more of the good stuff in 2022.With that, we raise a toast to you and to a new year of adventure. Get out there and walk 2022's winding path with gusto.Eben's favorite books of 2021: After The Fall, by Ben Rhodes Land of Big Numbers, by Te-Ping Chen Tim's favorite books of 2021: See You Again in Pyongyang, by Travis Jeppesen The Giver of Stars, by JoJo Moyes Eben's favorite episodes of 2021: S2, Ep. 1: Inside OnlyFans and the NSFW Travel World S2, Ep. 8: The new F Words: Facebook, Fake News, and Fotojournalism S2, Ep. 13: Interview With A Santa Tim's favorite episodes of 2021: Ep. 44: The Great Indoors S2, Ep. 11: Inside the Line: Saudi Arabia's NEOM and the future of cities Ep. 27: Are Digital Nomads Bullsh*t?

On today's episode, Matador Network CEO Ross Borden joins the show to discuss his recent trip to NEOM, the expansive desert of northern Saudi Arabia being turned into the world's first “sustainable city.” Along with The Line -- a futuristic city built in a long, thin, and extra-eco-friendly line -- the planners of NEOM will include purpose-driven tourism development along the coast of the Red Sea, a slew of national parks, and plenty of other futuristic stuff. We don't understand it in the least, but Ross breaks down the basics in what might be the first-ever 101-level course on NEOM told by someone who's actually been there.Beyond NEOM, Ross and the guys discuss the current COVID situation and get into the cultural differences between Saudi and western societies. The result is an overview of the essence of Matador Network itself -- that at its best, travel has the potential to break through cultural differences and help us find our common humanity.In Hot Takes, Eben and Tim reject the productivity of in-flight safety videos. The pair also discuss Tim's irrational fear of thrift stores, and Eben's fear of second-hand embarrassment. News of the day: Looking for a coworking space on your next trip?

We're kicking off today's episode with a VERY important announcement: No Blackout Dates has officially been acquired by travel media company Matador Network. What does this mean? Well, we're getting a new logo, website, overall look, and we might sound a bit better too. It also means we'll have access to a wider range of awesome guests. We're excited for this next chapter of NBD and can't wait to turn the page sometime next month. But more on that in the coming weeks...  Comedian Ivy Le is joining us today. Ivy hosts the podcast FOGO: Fear of Going Outside, one of Spotify's most popular new podcasts, documenting Ivy's experience as an avid indoorswoman venturing (reluctantly) into outdoor adventure. Eben and Ivy rebrand camping as “voluntary homelessness” and hiking as simply “walking,” while Tim defends the merits of voluntary homelessness and walking. We also expose the outdoors community as more judgmental than you might think, and learn why some indigenous peoples don't feel comfortable hiking their own ancestral land.  Ivy Le Website FOGO: Fear Of Going OutsideMatador NetworkEben's InstagramTim's InstagramTrail MixHoliday Inn Express

How is “leaning into” the pivot when faced with change or adversity a positive thing? Let’s find out!   Well, we are discussing all things pivoting today with my guest, Monica Ortega, the author of The Power of Pivoting, a self-development book to help guide people through an unexpected change in their lives. Maybe it’s in their relationships, or jobs; or their mental health, or even a world crisis.   Monica’s goal with her new book is to take the stigma away from change, “It doesn’t have to be scary! It can be epic! It can be an opportunity.”   Monica Ortega is a professional on-camera host, speaker, and actress from Holt, Michigan. She created the online travel show Monica Goes back in 2015 to inspire others to break out of their comfort zones and go on adventures. She's produced and hosted over 100 episodes, and been featured on Matador Network, USA Today's 10Best, Insider Travel, and more!   Monica has spoken openly about how her personal setbacks have helped her pivot to create a life she loves. She speaks at events around the country helping others to embrace change and create their own dream life. Monica emcees some of the biggest music festivals in the nation and has been seen in over 20 commercials on TV.

Now based in Denmark, Phil is the star of Phil Good Travel on Matador Network and has built an Instagram following of more than 50,000.

After silently suffering from Anxiety Disorder and Depression for over a year, Rachel made the decision to resign from a lucrative and promising corporate career to travel the world indefinitely.   Rachel's love for travel started before ever stepping on a plane. As a child, she read hundreds of books which allowed her to explore the world, in different times and places over and over again. In high school, she was granted an opportunity to travel to China for a month. Since then, her heart for travel and exploration has taken her to over 40 countries.   She created a travel platform to educate, inspire, and influence Millennials of color to travel the world to push past their comfort zones, travel the world (like a boss on a budget), and change the narrative on what it means to be a traveler of color.    Rachel Travels has been featured in Matador Network, Essence Online, XONecole, Blavity, and Black and Abroad.   Before leaving Corporate America, she was a Digital Marketing Project Manager, developing mobile apps, social media games, and creating digital strategies.    To say hello and follow more of Rachel's adventures and advice, head over to www.RachelTravels.com or www.RachelVHill.com.

We recently found this article at the Matador Network website: 17 female travel photographers who slayed 2017and it got us thinking that we should have more women on the show. I know we always strive to be as inclusive as possible, but sometimes it’s hard to think of female photographers in an industry that is very much male-dominated, so we were more than happy to have so many names to pick potential guests from. By the way, the list was compiled by our good friend and past guest, Kate Siobhan Mulligan, so thank you Kate!Anyway, we found some names on that list that we hadn’t heard of previously and discovered some great work and fascinating insights into the world of travel photography by looking at their websites, so we started sending out invites to some of them and this is how we got to know our guest of this week, Taylor Roades.Taylor is a self taught travel photographer based in Vancouver British Columbia; originally from Toronto, ON. Photography has taken her across Asia, and South America. She says she’s lugged too much gear through the Rocky Mountains, Patagonia, and the SubArctic.Travel is what is what sparked her interest in photography, but it is telling stories of conservation, people, adventure, and culture that keeps her interested.She works on a variety of editorial, commercial and reportage style assignments with companies and organizations that share a vision for sustainability and an appreciation for story.

Today on World Footprints we’ll enjoy some Wayward and hair-raising travel experiences with a true Vagabond and we’ll look at a new travel service that has gone to the dogs. First, author and Matador Network editor Tom Gates will give us a “sample” (no pun) of a few of his personal eyebrow-raising travel stories in his new book Wayward: Fetching Tales from a Year on the Road. Tom will share how Anthony Bourdain is responsible for his sampling of “mans best friend” and why he ended up in the pokey at Heathrow International Airport. Those stories are just a few of what we’ll hear. Next you’ll meet Mike Richard, founding editor of the popular website Vagabondish.com—a travel portal for the independent traveler and free spirit. Mike absconded from corporate America to pursue his passion for travel and to help others travel wisely. Finally, Aaron Hirschorn’s career has gone to the dogs—literally. Aaron and his wife Karine created a new service, DogVacay.com that provides travelers with host homes that will care for their dogs while traveling.
