GENEVA, Switzerland – Day 10 and about 14 interviews later, the team is ready to go home. We have had such fun on this trip but it's been alot of hard work. From Heidi our positive producer's planning expertise, Andrew our cameraman extraordinaire's amazing footage and constantly smiling attitude, Paul our editor/cameraman/entertainment/social director/driver/all around good guy, I certainly have been blessed with an amazing group of people to work with.

When we travel for assignments around the world, I believe it's the people who you spend all your time with that make the pieces we air amazing. They are the ones who become your family and it is through the shared energy that we all work harder and better.

The Geneva leg of our trip certainly felt like the work was all coming to a head and that we really had to summon up our reserves energy to complete our tasks. The weather has been horrible but since we all moved from our... uh... last place of stay to more refined digs, things moved on much more smoothly.

We have generated a lot of pieces for the network, each one bringing something different... even though the topic has been the same, and for the most part so have the products. Each CEO I met brought something different to the table.
They were each passionate about their jobs and their companies. And that is what I learn from. I learn from their abilities, their successes, and their challenges. After all, it doesn't just come down to their job, it also comes down to them being people.

There is another world out there when looking at the luxury industry. One where money is no object. For me though, money is an object so perhaps it gives me that ability to see through the glitter and hopefully report with an eye on the pocketbooks of the majority of people in the world.

Still though, being around the glitter is no war zone... and I have the utmost respect for those who are reporting from perhaps less luxurious surroundings!

Michael Holmes, this is for you.
