A Travel Again Advisory Series
The conversation before the deal room.
The travel industry's most important ideas rarely start on a main stage. Jumpseat Conversations gives founders and innovators a direct line to one of the most connected advisors in the business — and puts their work in front of an audience built to receive it.
Travel Again Advisory's work begins early — before the deck, before the data room, before the LOI. Jumpseat operates in the same window.
Trade publications cover what has already happened. Jumpseat is built for what is in motion — companies and ideas still developing.
Getting in front of sophisticated travel industry decision-makers used to mean buying a booth or knowing the right person. Jumpseat is a different path.
A direct exchange with someone who has operated at the highest levels draws out what actually differentiates a company — and exposes what still needs work.
Mike McCormick has spent decades operating at the intersection of travel, strategy, and high-stakes advisory. He knows the industry well enough to ask the questions that matter — the ones investors, partners, and potential acquirers are already forming in the back of their minds.
His role in Jumpseat is as facilitator, not evaluator. He draws out what is strongest in a pitch and surfaces what needs more development — without a scorecard, without a verdict, and without the theater of a competition format.
Each segment runs 6–10 minutes. Recorded via StreamYard, published weekly to YouTube and LinkedIn. No decks, no scripts, no extended setup.
Branded introduction. Consistent framing that positions each segment as part of a larger ongoing series.
Mike introduces you and your company. The audience understands who you are before you say a word.
Your company, your problem, your differentiation. No deck, no script. Clarity under a modest time constraint.
Strategic, direct, grounded in decades of industry operating experience. This is where the real story comes into focus.
A clear call to action. Audience directed toward the application. The pipeline continues.
Applications take five minutes. If your company is a fit, Mike reviews and approves your booking directly. No gatekeepers. No pitch decks required before the session.
