I’m Joshua Harrell, and I wear a lot of hats in the travel industry—chief revenue officer at WorldVia Travel Network, creator of Travel Marketeering, author, podcast host, and all-around creative. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked across travel, entertainment, fashion, and cosmetics, picking up a few stories (and plenty of lessons) along the way. At WorldVia, I’m all about helping travel advisors and agency owners build businesses that actually work for them. Whether it’s launching tech like the WorldVia PRO Suite and its connected apps, collaborating with travel suppliers, or just brainstorming bold ideas, my goal is to make sure our members have everything they need to succeed—and to shake up the industry while we’re at it. I’m proud that our team’s efforts have been recognized—WorldVia has been named Host Agency of the Year three times. Travel Marketeering is my passion project—it’s a strategy, a book, and a podcast all rolled into one. I love sharing what I’ve learned about branding, marketing, and creative storytelling with agency owners, advisors, and suppliers. If you’ve ever tuned into my podcast or caught me speaking at an event, you know that I’m big on practical tips and straight talk—no fluff. Beyond the boardroom, you’ll find me creating content on just about every platform, from live streams and radio to TV and podcasts. I believe in meeting people where they are and keeping the conversation real. I’m fueled by a love for travel, a knack for innovation, and a genuine excitement about what’s next for our industry. If you see me at an event, come say hello—I’m always up for talking shop, swapping ideas, or just sharing a good story.
