ABOUT THIS EPISODE

This story begins with Kirsteene Phelan throwing it all on the line. After she witnesses Rome2rio's CEO, Rod Cuthbert, meeting with a PR firm in their shared office space, she saunters over and tells him to ditch the PR firm and hire her instead!

And yes, the travel industry is a lot of hard work. But the duo do get up to some shenanigans along the way. And one particular prank they play at an industry conference leads to an interesting outcome …
