About the Event
An Intimate Gathering
An Intimate Gathering
for Serious Advisors
Join Angela Hughes and a select group of Trips & Ships advisors for an exclusive mastermind experience hosted at her private lakeside residence on Johns Lake in Winter Garden, Florida.
Designed for advisors who are committed to growth, collaboration, and professional excellence, Luxe Tribe Mastermind on the Lake brings together fellow advisors for two days of meaningful conversations, strategic discussions, practical business insights, and relationship building.
This is not a conference. There are no exhibit halls. There are no crowded breakout rooms. There are no generic presentations. This is a curated gathering of travel professionals who believe some of the best ideas come from sharing experiences, learning from one another, and investing in meaningful relationships.
Attendance is intentionally limited to 20 advisors — creating an environment where every voice matters and every conversation counts.
"Leave inspired, challenged, connected, and equipped with a plan for the year ahead."

The Theme
The One Thing
In today's travel industry, advisors are faced with more opportunities, distractions, technologies, and demands than ever before.
The advisors who achieve extraordinary results are not necessarily doing more than everyone else. More often, they are focused on the few activities that create the greatest impact.
Throughout the mastermind, attendees will be challenged to identify the one opportunity, one priority, or one decision that could have the greatest influence on their business growth.
“Rather than leaving with a long list of ideas, participants will leave with a focused plan and a commitment to the actions that matter most.”
Focus on what matters most.
