🧭 GB2 Speaker Spotlight – Monday, April 13th

This Monday at GB2, we’re hearing from Tim McEvoy — a travel advisor who helps people plan smarter, smoother, and more meaningful trips.

Most people think booking travel is just about price and convenience.

It’s not.

It’s about having someone in your corner who knows what to avoid, what to prioritize, and how to make the entire experience actually work the way you want it to.

If you travel for business, plan family trips, or just want better experiences without the guesswork, this will be a useful conversation.

And like everything at GB2 — it’s not just what Tim does…
it’s how the relationships in the room connect to it.

📢 Join Us Monday at GB2!

We’re looking forward to hearing from Cristin Lahey Hock of Aflac as she shares about her business and how she helps individuals and employers protect against unexpected financial gaps.

Cristin works with businesses and professionals to provide supplemental insurance solutions that help cover what traditional health plans often do not — including accident coverage, disability, critical illness, and more.

This will be a practical conversation for business owners, professionals, and anyone interested in understanding options that can strengthen financial protection for themselves or their teams.
