Listen in as we hike alongside the entrepreneurial trailblazer, Bob Wisse, the founding member of Priceline, on a journey through his remarkable life and career. This conversation takes us through Bob's mother's harrowing tale of survival during WWII, her inspiring journey to America, and the work ethic she instilled in him from a young age. As we explore Bob's early ventures, from his love affair with college and transforming a mule barn into a vibrant community hub, to working for American Airlines and navigating the airline industry, we gain insight into his unique approach to employee empowerment and business success. 

As our conversation with Bob unfolds, we unveil the secrets to his success in the fiercely competitive world of business and sales. Bob's instinctual knack for identifying talent leads to the growth of a travel agency's sales from $20 million to $175 million. He elaborates on the importance of confidence in closing a deal and shares his experiences with high-profile figures like William Shatner. We also get an insider's look at his time with Priceline and the missed opportunities and valuable lessons learned along the way.

We wrap up this episode by discussing Bob's life post-Priceline. His adventures span across the real estate and cannabis industry, and he opens up about his fight against cancer. Bob shares the life philosophies he's developed over the years, emphasizing the importance of embracing challenges, celebrating success, and valuing honesty and ethics in both business and life. From international business travels to a glimpse into the decadent society of Singapore, this episode is an inspiring look into the life of a self-made entrepreneur who thrived on street smarts, hard work, and a fair share of luck.
