I was truly amazed by the story of my guest today, Eric Hrubant, the Founder & CEO of CIRE Travel.

At just 43 years of age, Eric now runs a multi-million dollar business. But his beginnings were not quite so easy.

Eric grew up in Queens in New York City. As the son of a single mum who worked full time, Eric was a latch-key kid. While he studied at night, to become a social worker, Eric had to find a day job to pay the bills. This is how, back in 1997, travel entered Eric’s life.

He worked his way up from entry-level at a travel agency to second in command. Fast forward 15 years and he bought the agency from the retiring owner and re-branded it as CIRE (Eric backwards; a hat-tip to Oprah’s company, Harpo).

Eric now uses his social work skills to take the stress out of the travel process – making travel easier and more enjoyable for his clients. CIRE Travel is a concierge-style travel agency specialising in luxury vacations and business trips. Across their four offices, CIRE Travel has grown to deliver almost $20m worth of corporate, leisure and group travel to their client base.

Join me on The Travel Coach today as we benefit from the remarkable success story and wisdom of this 20+ year travel industry veteran.
