Who is Amy Blades? Leading with Faith, Family, and Inclusion
Welcome! I’m Amy - or better known as Goofy Getaways She-E-O. For as long as I can remember, faith and family have been the foundation of my life. Being married for just over 30 years and raising three incredible grown children has shaped my values, my leadership, and my perspective on what truly matters. As CEO of Goofy Getaways, I carry these principles into every decision I make, ensuring that our company is not just a place to book magical vacations but a space where every agent, client, and partner feels valued, supported, and inspired.
Travel has always been a priority for me—not just for the adventure, but for the connections it fosters. Whether it’s exploring a new destination with loved ones or helping others create unforgettable experiences, I believe travel has the power to bring people together. That’s why I lead Goofy Getaways with a direct, honest approach, setting high standards while also creating an environment where people feel safe to be themselves.
One of the most important aspects of my leadership is making sure that inclusivity isn’t just a buzzword but a way of life. Supporting the LGBTQ+ community is part of my commitment to ensuring everyone—regardless of who they are or whom they love—feels welcomed and celebrated. My faith teaches me that love, kindness, and acceptance should guide our actions, and I lead by example, fostering a company culture where diversity is embraced and everyone has a seat at the table.
At the heart of it all, Goofy Getaways is more than a business—it’s an extension of the values I hold dear. With faith, family, and integrity at the core, I am proud to lead a company that not only helps people experience the magic of travel but also creates a community where every person feels safe, respected, and empowered.
Buckle up, because this journey is going to be a wild ride! Whether you’re here for travel inspiration, leadership insights, or just a little bit of fun, following my blog and social media means you’re officially along for the adventure.
