“You want me to wake up at what time,” said Aziz, our Tanzania Managing Director, at 2:00 am in his time zone. Aziz divides his time between Amsterdam, when his kids are in school, and the rest of the year in Tanzania. He has known me since I was one week old, so I suppose he gets a pass.

“You want me to talk futbol with someone from Argentina? Do you know what a rivalry even is,” exclaimed Leon, guide extraordinaire and a friend in Bogota, Colombia, when we talked about his latest Zoom event when he was Zoom bombed while on the call as you watched.

“You want to do a ride along? I like where your headed,” said Abraham Dau in Colombia, talking about taking viewers like you on a virtual ride along to see humanitarian work in a

These were some of the comments that our Faces of Five personalities told us as we began planning Live with Five client events such as this one.

Since the middle of March, we have been reinventing almost every process and approach throughout Big Five in order to become stronger and more effective. One of those reinventions led us to a different, more personal client event. In one week, I can be with Aziz in Tanzania, Cris in Peru and Leon in Colombia. The following week, I am with Abraham on a ride along, or with Claudia in Argentina. Technology today allows us to cover more territory and encounter more people than ever before.

With new personalities always being added to our team, the conversations always take a new turn. Watch the video in this email to see what we mean! Trash talking on futbol, pairing wine with local delicacies, linking culture to street art in Bogota and Buenos Aires, and, of course, the inevitable coffee snob moment.

In an era where on-screen is currently our predominant avenue to keep in touch, you can get zoomed out.  But we believe we have something pretty unconventional and special that will make you laugh, cry and think all at once. And, it’s fun! Apparently, you agree.  Our virtual client events are completely booked out through August!

Our advisor partners will reserve your space at their next client event when you register here. And, we will take it from there. we are happy to connect our inquiring advisor partners with those who have had successful events such as Michele Travels, Prince Adventures, EVI Active, and so many more!
