From Unpaid Intern to $200M CEO: How Julie Danziger Disrupted Luxury Travel After a 2019 Launch

How do you scale a luxury brand to a $200M+ empire while the entire industry is frozen?

In this episode of the High Achieving Female Podcast, we sit down with Julie Danziger, the co-founder and managing partner of Embark Beyond. Julie's career is a masterclass in resilience, relationship-building, and business disruption. She started her career as an unpaid intern, worked her way up from an $8/hour entry-level job, and eventually co-founded a luxury travel advisory in late 2019—right before the global pandemic shut down world travel.

Instead of freezing, Julie and her partners took their 7-year business plan and executed it in just 7 months. Today, Embark Beyond spans 26 US states, has a massive footprint in Brazil, and supports over 200 global advisors with a revolutionary law-firm style equity partnership model.

If you are a founder trying to scale a remote team, a business leader looking to build an unbreakable company culture, or a working mom trying to navigate the "juggling act," this interview will give you the strategy and the permission to do it your own way.

In this video, you will learn:

• How to use a global industry crisis as a launchpad for hyper-growth.
• The "Law Firm" business model disruption that attracts top-tier talent.
• The exact 15-minute daily routine that helped Embark Beyond retain 100% of its founding team.
• Why Julie's grandfather's diner advice is her ultimate rule for building relationships.
• How to "blend" a massive global business with raising three children (and why work-life balance is a myth)
