## Resource

If you feel like you’re drowning in hotel research, this is your sign to stop trying to do it all! In this extra spicy Hot Take, Robin and Jennifer explain why over-researching is holding advisors back and how leveraging DMCs and trusted partners leads to better client experiences, less risk, and more time to grow your business. Plus, what to do when a recommendation isn’t quite right and why those DMC fees are doing more for you than you think. It’s time to step out of the weeds, trust your network, and finally operate like a true curator, not an overworked researcher. Hit play now! Have a topic you’d like discussed in a future Hot Take?
