Show Summary: Mudita Khurana — Tech Lead at Airbnb and the person who always says, “I got this” No Password Required Season 7: Episode 6 - Mudita Khurana Mudita Khurana is a Tech Lead for Automated Tooling and Vulnerability Management at Airbnb, where she focuses on building modular, scalable security systems in an era of rapidly evolving AI threats. Before Airbnb, she spent nearly a decade in security roles across Accenture, Meta, and PwC, making bold career pivots along the way, including turning down a PwC return offer to join Facebook's product security team. In this episode, Mudita shares her journey from a family of doctors in India to Carnegie Mellon and into the heart of Big Tech security. She discusses what it means to thrive as a non-traditional engineer in a deeply technical field, why she stepped back from management to get closer to the work, and how she thinks about building security tooling that won't be obsolete in three months. Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Melton, recording live from Tampa B-Sides at the University of South Florida, talk with Mudita about imposter syndrome, AI's curveballs for security teams, leadership without a leadership title, and the importance of community in staying on top of a field that never stops moving. She also reflects on what great mentorship looks like early in a career and why clarity, ownership, and consistency are the leadership qualities she keeps coming back to. In the Lifestyle Polygraph, Mudita firmly plants her flag in the Harry Potter universe as Hermione, explains why Deadpool doesn't qualify as a superhero, debates gym vs. nature as a reset strategy, and reveals her dream remote work base: a high-altitude Buddhist mountain town in the Himalayas.

This week on the Oakley Podcast, Jeremy Kellett sits down with Oakley owner-operator David Platter to talk about his 36-year trucking journey, from starting with a chauffeur's license and running local loads in Colorado to becoming a successful owner-operator at Oakley. David shares how he and his wife manage the financial side of the business, including his “a third, a third, a third” rule for money management, and why he believes in buying new trucks and planning for taxes.

Planning a vacation should be exciting—not overwhelming. But between choosing a destination, booking flights, creating an itinerary, and figuring out logistics, it's easy to feel stressed before your trip even begins. At The Travel Brats, we've planned everything from last-minute city getaways to international adventures booked nearly a year in advance. Over time, we've learned that the best trips happen when you focus on smart planning without overplanning every minute. Here's our step-by-step guide to planning a vacation the right way. 1. Start With Your "Why" Before choosing a destination, ask yourself: Do I want relaxation or adventure? Am I traveling for food, culture, nature, or nightlife? Am I recharging or packing my schedule? Your answer determines everything from budget to destination to daily activities. Helpful questions to research: Is this destination better for couples, friends, or families? Is it good for digital nomads? Can I visit without renting a car? Does it offer more adventure or relaxation? The clearer your travel goals, the easier every other decision becomes. 2. Set Your Dates and Budget You don't need an exact budget, but you need a realistic one. Consider: Number of travel days Flight costs Hotel or Airbnb costs Food and drinks Transportation Activities and excursions Most importantly, leave room for unexpected expenses. A good vacation budget includes a buffer because travel rarely goes exactly as planned. Also factor in important deadlines such as: PTO approval School breaks Weddings Special events 3. Choose Your Destination Strategically Timing can completely change your experience. Ask yourself: What's in season during my travel dates? Will weather affect the trip? Is it peak tourist season? How long is the travel time? Is the destination easy to navigate? If you only have a few vacation days, shorter flights often win. We've seen travelers hate destinations during crowded peak seasons and fall in love with the same places during shoulder season. Research matters. 4. Book the Big Stuff First Follow this order: ✈️ Flights

If 2027 is your year for Italy, this episode is where the planning starts. Not with a destination list and not with a Google search but with the questions that many travelers skip. These are the ones that can make a big difference to your trip. Katy walks you through three big questions to answer before you get into the weeds of your planning. The episode closes with 2-3 things to do this week. Concrete, low-effort, and the kind of start that means you are making decisions ahead of the game rather than under pressure. Andiamo!
Following up from Wednesday's episode, today we're talking about the actual trip planning portion. How is AI used to plan a trip, where does it succeed, and where does it fail. We also offer some alternatives for those of you who are planning a trip and prefer to not rely on AI. You can join our Patreon for free! Want a shout out on the podcast?

Today, we're talking about something we've actually wanted to talk about for a few years. It's something that we knew would inevitably evolve, just as with any other AI application. After hearing and reading stories of AI chatbots and trip planners making up fake destinations, misrepresenting walking areas and how long it takes to get from point A to B, or recommending closed restaurants and hotels, we thought it was finally time to take a dive into discussing planning your trip using AI. But before we are able to even get into the trip planners in particular, we first wanted to layout some of the pitfalls and drawbacks of using AI. While it doesn't have much—or really anything!—to do with Italy, we felt that it was important enough to warrant its own episode. You can join our Patreon for free! Want a shout out on the podcast?

It's time for another Listener Q&A — and this one gets right to the heart of how you travel.Johanna is planning a trip to Italy with two first-time travelers and asks a great question: is it better to pack in as much as possible or slow things down and focus on just a few places?In this episode, I talk through the pros and cons of both approaches, why there's no one-size-fits-all answer, and how to find that sweet spot between seeing a lot and actually enjoying where you are. From bouncing between cities to choosing a home base and taking day trips, I share some practical ways to think about pacing — especially for a first trip to Europe.If you've ever wondered how much is “too much” when planning your itinerary, this one's for you.Got a question you want answered?Head over to wanderyourway.com/podcast and fill out the form!Note: These Listener Q&A episodes don't have a companion blog post, so you'll only find this one in your favorite podcast app. Happy listening!Important links:5 Tips to Manage Feelings of Overwhelm When Planning a Trip to Europe3 Quick Tips for Planning Your Trip to Europe: Making the PlanTravel Mistakes to Avoid on Your Next European Trip ★ Support this podcast ★

What if you didn't know where you were traveling until the day you left? Lillian Rafson, Founder and CEO of @packupgo_travel, shares how a random conversation in a hostel in Riga led her to move back to Pittsburgh and start a surprise travel company at 23. Turning a simple idea into a company that has sent more than 50,000 travelers to 300+ destinations across the U.S. takes more than good marketing — it requires trust, logistics, and a deep understanding of how people actually want to travel. The conversation explores how surprise travel works, why travelers willingly give up control, and what it takes to design trips that prioritize discovery over endless planning.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/globetrotters-podcast--5023679/support.
Sam and Jeff are heading to Seattle and they're buzzing with anticipation. They've been researching Pike Market, debating whether to try clams and oysters, and considering a true crime tour. (Though they joke they'll probably be asleep by 10 PM anyway.)The conversation weaves through Nancy Grace's return to cover a missing person case and America's Most Wanted, before landing on their bigger plan: a trip to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Sam's planning to visit Dollywood, a True Crime Museum with six floors covering everything from medieval crime to serial killers, plus a Titanic Museum and Noah's Ark Museum.Between weekend stories about disappointing beer festivals and awkward comedy fundraisers, they share their struggle through an intense hot yoga class that left them repeatedly retreating to child's pose. One of them discovered they get faint when consuming cannabis while meal prepping, which led to ordering Alibaba Kebabs instead of cooking.Sam's been watching Love is Blind and questioning why contestants with ideal partners keep pursuing others, critiquing Stranger Things for making magical abilities contingent on coming-out storylines, and expressing outrage over Tyra Banks's handling of serious incidents on America's Next Top Model.Ready for some honest takes on travel plans, reality TV drama, and weekend adventures?

In this episode Annie Fast, Oregon-based freelance writer and former professional snowboarder, joins the Ski Moms to discuss two critical barriers facing ski families: accessible childcare at resorts and mothers competing at elite levels. Annie's investigative work for Ski Area Management revealed a troubling trend of resort daycare closures post-COVID, including Vail's Small World, Jackson Hole, and Bridger Bowl facilities, while highlighting success stories at Mount Bachelor, Mount Hood Meadows, Brundage, and Tamarack with year-round programs. She explains why finding childcare information on resort websites is nearly impossible and how this impacts both visiting families and employee retention. Annie also previews her coverage of the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, spotlighting Olympic moms competing with young children and the challenges of decentralized venues. The conversation covers practical advocacy tips for ski families, the reality of split-day skiing for toddlers, and why true "family-friendly" resorts must offer guest childcare.

In this first of our two-part Food & Wine Festival special, Scott and Candice dig deep into the front half of the 2025 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival. From flaky samosas to suspicious milkshakes, we break down what's new, what's returning, and what's totally skippable. Along the way, you'll hear our festival strategy, hot takes on influencer hype, and why we're not falling for the pickle milkshake trend (again).Plus, we share our Eat to the Beat concert picks (Spoiler: Gen X is THRIVING), how you can help choose Scott's breakfast on social, and why the dining plan may be a double-edged sword when it comes to festival snacking.By the end of this episode, you'll have a full itinerary for navigating World Celebration, Discovery, and Nature – including what's open now, what's delayed until late September, and which booths are just not worth the hype.
Just like any couple, each of us have a different approach to trip planning. While one of us really gets into the major themes and ideas of a trip (think big picture) with a focus on food (AKA Chris), some of us dive deep into logistics like flights, trains, where to stay, etc. (AKA Kat). In this podcast episode, we discuss our approaches to travel planning when it is our turn to plan and choose the trip, how the other person helps, and how we balance each other out. What are your approaches to trip planning as a couple?

Isle Royale National Park is the Great Lakes Mecca for backpackers. This archipelago of islands is also one of our most remote National Parks so preparing for a visit takes extra planning. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Chris Amidon, Supervisory Park Ranger for Interpretation and Visitor Services. He not only has tips for first-timers, but also has details on some new procedures, particularly when it comes to food storage.Key Takeaways:Planning your experience shapes everything: “The first thing we ask is, what type of experience are you looking to have?” From backpacking and boating to lodge stays, your approach determines your transportation and gear.Getting to the island is part of the journey: “Part of the Isle Royale experience is the transportation to the island. It's that extra step that most parks don't have.”Food storage regulations have changed:Starting in 2025, visitors are required to use approved food storage containers due to wildlife activity near camps and harbors.Wildlife sightings are rare but magical:“Encountering a moose is a really magical moment and I remember backpacking a trip I did with my daughter... those are the types of experiences that Isle Royale offer just by putting yourself in this remote island setting.”Most of Isle Royale is federally designated wilderness:99% of the park is wilderness, meaning motorized equipment is limited—adding to both its preservation and the physical demands of upkeep.The Artist-in-Residence program reveals new perspectives:“The Artist-in-Residence Program… that's kind of my, I would say, my soft spot.” From Shakespearean sonnets to ceramic bark impressions, Chris helps curate a mix of art forms that deepen understanding of the island.Visitation may be low, but the planning is intense:Only about 20,000 people visit Isle Royale each year—and most come during just three months—putting pressure on resources and requiring detailed planning.Resources:Isle Royale National Park – Plan your visithttps://www.nps.gov/isro/index.htmRanger III Ferry & Seaplane Info –https://www.nps.gov/isro/planyourvisit/directions.htmIsle Royale Artist-in-Residence Program –https://www.nps.gov/isro/getinvolved/artist-in-residence.htmConnect With Us:Lake Superior Podcast Page – https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-parks-of-lake-superior-foundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.
