This week, I first discuss the latest trending news in the travel industry, including Hurricane Melissa, when the government shutdown might end, and more. 

Later, Richard Fain, Chairman of the Board for Royal Caribbean Group, joins the podcast to talk about his upcoming book, "Delivering the Wow", which you can order on Amazon. Fain shares stories from his prolific career, like the time Carnival once placed a bid for Royal Caribbean, and so much more. 

The interview with Fain begins after the 8-minute mark. You can also watch the video of the interview here.
