They called him “Captain Compass,” not because he could navigate by the stars, but because he had a gift for guiding the ultra-wealthy toward experiences so exclusive, they made passports feel inadequate. In this episode, we step inside a private lounge at Teterboro Airport, where luxury travel elites swap secrets on how to craft the kind of high-stakes, high-glamour experiences that keep affluent clients coming back. Pete “Captain Compass” Calder, a legend in the world of ultra-exclusive travel, holds court with Giselle “Jet Setter” Marlowe, a luxury travel consultant with a client list that reads like the Forbes Billionaire Index, and Lars “Golden Reel” Johansson, a film producer turned resort developer designing overwater villas for the one percent of the one percent. Together, they reveal: ✅ Why storytelling—not just service—is the real key to high-ticket travel sales ✅ How to craft luxury experiences that feel like a Netflix thriller, not a basic vacation ✅ The secret ingredient that turns a one-time luxury client into a lifetime patron ✅ How exclusivity and scarcity drive demand in the ultra-high-end market Whether you sell travel, real estate, or any high-end service, this episode is a masterclass in selling the dream. Because at this level, it’s not about what you sell—it’s about the story you tell.
