Join Sujean in the studio for an interview with Pavia Rosati, one of the most trusted voices in travel.
Pavia is the CEO and founder of Fathom, an award-winning travel editorial platform known for insider recommendations and curated itineraries, including a widely read Substack called “Way to Go.” She’s co-authored two books: Travel Anywhere (and Avoid Being a Tourist) and Travel North America (and Avoid Being a Tourist). She previously served as Executive Editor of the disruptive media company DailyCandy, which produced a daily email newsletter featuring cultural recommendations.
Ultimately, Pavia has designed an inspiring career – one that brings her joy, is filled with rich, unforgettable experiences (including plenty of dinner parties at home), and leaves room for new adventures.
In this episode of Alchemy Social, Pavia and Sujean chat about:
- How Pavia made the leap from a career in media to founding her own travel company
- How she grew a disruptive newsletter business, long before she started her Substack
- When to ask human experts for advice – from recipes to restaurant recommendations
- How to plan better trips – including the one time overplanning actually pays off; and
- Her latest travel recommendations (you’ll want to bookmark them immediately).
Whether you’re dreaming up your next trip, interested in a career in media, or starting a new company, this conversation will inspire you.
