In this episode, Adam joins the team at Visit Galveston to talk about ways they're moving the destination forward. JR Shaw, host of the Galveston Unscripted Podcast, shares his experience partnering with a destination to produce owned media content. Kellie Gonzalez, client services director at Visit Galveston, talks about her initiative to personalize the guest experience for a recurring conference. Mackenzie Finklea, public affairs manager at Visit Galveston, explains the destination's celebrations for Juneteenth and highlights Galveston's significant role in the holiday's history.



“Authenticity and collaboration over competition. If you go through social media now I think people can sense an ad when there’s an ad there, they scroll right past it. They can feel that ad. The more authentic you can be, it doesn’t have to be perfect, just be an authentic person or create authentic content. That is key.” -JR Shaw
