Join Mike & Zoe for an interview with the sensational Crystal Dyer who shares her life’s work from AT&T to managing her many accomplished roles including founder of Gone Again Travel & Tours, Chicago Austin Youth Travel Adventures (CAYTA), and being Board President of Austin Chamber of Commerce.
For over 10 years her work has promoted connectivity, confidence, and community development through travel and mentorship, inspired by personal loss of her grandson, Devin, in 2011.
She celebrates life to the max by helping residents travel all over the world for anything you can think of; that includes a journey through legacy landmarks in Ghana, West Africa which her CAYTA leaders take every year. Cultural immersion & empowerment are at the pinnacle of Ms.Dyer’s goal map whether it be a genealogy & self-discovery course, local trolley tours, or STEM success programs that highlight the passions of our youth.
Through numerous setbacks and moments of grief, her decades of grit and generosity has helped her form a priceless wisdom on the importance of life; she uses every financial or social resource in her possession to assist the next generations to soar new heights and as she says, “become eagles”.
Ms.Dyer has created a warm, energized atmosphere that lights up 4952 W Chicago Avenue where information for all the spectacular events and programs lives.
Currently, she is hosting a program for entrepreneurship at Austin High school to equip youth with the skills to create, network, execute, and expand their own business with in-house coaching from moguls in real estate and financial management.
