My First Season

My guest for this podcast is someone I had not worked with before, but our paths had crossed. She is originally from Montreal and currently resides in Newfoundland. She is also the co-founder and administrator of the largest EXGO site on Facebook with 8.1K members, The Official Club Med EXGO Facebook Group, everyone, Miss G.A! G.A. recounts one of the best of not THE best G.M. to G.O. stories I’ve ever heard that takes places in 1989 in Club Med Martinique. I don’t want to spoil a minute of this amazing story so you’ll really have to listen if you want to hear more and man, is it worth it! G. A. also co-founded Kitchen 4 Missions along with EXGO Katie McGowan and the description for K4M is below:

Kitchens 4 Missions (K4M) was sparked by Anthony's Bourdain's loss to his battle with depression. The suicide of this culinary hero drew attention to mental health challenges not just within the hospitality industry, but the world over. Knowing that 1 in 5 Canadians will be faced with a mental health crisis in any given year, yet stigma and limited access to care means many won't get the help they need, K4M emerged to help meet this need. Through our "food philanthropy" event, we work to raise funds for accessible counselling services and normalize conversations about mental wellness.

It gives me great pleasure to introduce today’s guest, you know him, you love him, please help me welcome, Eric Goldberg! Eric’s first season was in Club Med St. Lucia (then a single’s resort) in November 1987 as DJ. He had been to Club Med Turks & Caicos prior on vacation, which is where he got bit by the bug to apply to Club Med. Eric recounts the craziness of Olympic Day in the late 80’s and what it was like being the resort DJ and also his mom crashing his first fashion show by the pool. Sit back, enjoy and shout ,"Hey, lady!"
