The Moving Beyond Your Tribe podcast is now Public Figure Society Podcast
As I mentioned in the first episode, I am temporarily living in Kanab while waiting for the lockdown of COVID-19 to end. So far, I have gotten the chance to meet some wonderful people here and visit the attractions around and I totally fell in love with this little town that is one of the fastest-growing ones in the US.
Kanab really differentiates itself from all the surrounding towns in Southern Utah. It’s a town that’s eclectic, it’s got an art gallery, it’s sophisticated, and it has incredible food. When I was looking for what has really defined this town, I found three people that I think have really been the leaders in the community and have helped define Kanab’s personality.
In today’s episode, I’m talking to the first of these three people, Travis Mitchell – the founder and director of Canyons Collection, which is a collection of four different properties with four different moods: Canyons Boutique Hotel (Classic Elegance); Canyons Lodge (Rustic Chic); Quail Park Lodge (Retro Cool); The Flagstone, which is a boutique inn & suites.
Listen to Episode 02 of Moving Beyond Acronyms, to find out how Kanab has evolved in the past years since Travis moved here, why you should come and visit this wonderful city and also, what Travis does to communicate his message and his vision regarding the four properties he’s managing.
