296: Negotiating Life Through Travel
Mon Feb 02 2026
The world is often defined by boundaries—lines on a map, walls of a classroom, or the rigid structures of a corporate office. But for those who choose to step across those lines, the world reveals itself not as a series of borders, but as a vast, living classroom. Joining us today are two extraordinary women who have collectively set foot on all seven continents, explored 88 countries, and crossed off every single one of the 50 U.S. states.
Evelyn Kelly is a true polymath. With a Ph.D. from the University of Florida and a background spanning microbiology, English, and history, she is the author of 22 books, including deep dives into genetics and her beloved Armchair Adventures series.
Natalie Kelly is a seasoned leader and the CEO of a major state organization. With a 35-year career that includes being the youngest female staff director in the Florida Senate and running her own PR and lobbying firm, she knows exactly what it takes to navigate high-stakes environments.
In this special episode, we explore the intersection of two seemingly different worlds: the high-stakes arena of negotiation and the transformative power of global travel.
In this conversation, we'll navigate:
Negotiation or life lessons you can pick up while traveling.
How travelling can help build confidence and negotiation skills in your daily lives.
Strategies to build trust and connection.
How toreframe travel as a form of lifelong learning and empowerment?
Tips or hack you can use when you trave, whether it's for getting upgrades, better deals, unique experiences to enhance the journey?
And many more!
