Misti is a retired school teacher from Memhpis Tennessee USA now living and enjoying her retirement in Negril Jamaica. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Ms Memphis to learn what retirement has been like for her in Negril. We talk about a plethora of topics discussing how she initially choose to visit Jamaica (it has something to do with 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back' but not what you may think!) to her views on other folks around the world considering to move to Jamaica. I hope you enjoy this podcast episode. There are a lot of gems here especially if you are at or near retirement age.

Jamaica was very fortunate to have been spared the brunt of Hurricane Beryl's fury. While we were lucky to avoid a direct hit, the storm still brought significant challenges to our beautiful island. Join us on a drive-through tour of Negril as we survey the aftermath and highlight the resilience of our communities.
🌧️ Impact on Negril:
Even though Jamaica was not hit directly, there are still families and communities that have been deeply affected by the storm. As of July 6th, Negril remains without power, and the West End has suffered far more severe damage compared to the beach road. This video captures the current state of our town, showcasing both the destruction and the spirit of recovery.
🏡 Community and Resilience:
Despite the challenges, the people of Negril are coming together to support each other and rebuild. From fallen trees and damaged roads to the ongoing efforts to restore normalcy, this video provides a comprehensive look at how Negril is coping in the wake of the storm.
🙏 Count Our Blessings:
It's important to remember that while we were spared the worst of Hurricane Beryl, many are facing hardships. Let's take a moment to count our blessings and extend our thoughts and prayers to those who are struggling to rebuild their lives.
🔔 Stay Updated:
We'll continue to bring you updates on the recovery efforts and the progress being made in Negril. Make sure to subscribe to our channel and hit the notification bell to stay informed.
📅 Date: July 4th, 2024
📍 Location: Negril, Jamaica

In a nation celebrated for its vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and world-class tourism, one challenge threatens to undermine Jamaica’s potential: poor service. Beyond the occasional frustrating experience, the issue carries significant economic and reputational consequences, limiting opportunities for growth and development.
This discussion explores the tangible costs of subpar service—lost revenue, diminished customer loyalty, and missed chances for local businesses to compete globally. Yet, within the challenge lies an opportunity: the role of international competition. Foreign companies entering Jamaica are not just bringing investment—they’re raising service standards, inspiring local businesses to innovate and improve.
Could global competition be the key to reshaping Jamaica’s service landscape? This live stream makes the case for why it’s time to embrace the challenge and chart a path toward a more competitive, customer-focused Jamaica.
Join us as we uncover the costs, examine the solutions, and imagine a future where Jamaica’s service industry becomes a model for excellence.
