What it takes to build the right team with Ali Raymer

Season 2 · Episode 99

Wednesday, July 29, 2026 • Duration 47:01

Ali Raymer spent nine years building her business at Picture This Travel before launching her own agency, Peace & Pearl Travel Co. In this episode, she breaks down what it actually takes to find, hire, and train the right people, starting with her very first hire (a former student) and the unconventional paths several of her other advisors took to get there.

She also shares the harder lessons: the traits she actually looks for before bringing someone on, why giving away the leads she wasn't passionate about ended up growing her business, and how she built an onboarding system that lets new advisors ramp up without her having to be in the room for every conversation.

Plus, how her team stays connected day to day, and why the right tools (including Travefy) matter more once you're not the only one running the show.

If you've ever thought about building a team, whether that means growing where you are or eventually starting your own agency, this one's for you.

How to slow down to speed up with Jonathan Morris

Season 2 · Episode 98

Friday, July 17, 2026 • Duration 39:00

Every advisor remembers that first inquiry. The excitement, then the quiet panic of realizing you have a customer now and no system for what comes next.

Jonathan Morris spent years as a retail agent before building Legato, a host agency built around an agent-first philosophy. In this conversation he shares what he's learned coaching hundreds of agents through the foundation stage, including a story about an advisor who sold out cruise groups within days and still nearly burned out because the systems weren't there to support the growth.

We get into the first 90 days, how to actually build a relationship with a BDM, why quarterly business checkups matter more than most agents think, and what led Legato to become the first host agency to integrate with Travefy.
