Before there was Frankly, there were twenty-seven jobs.
Christina Frank spent five years in New York chasing a career on stage — two of them in a conservatory at The Neighborhood Playhouse, training under the Meisner Technique. Meisner doesn't teach you to perform. It teaches you to listen — to read the person across from you so closely you know what they mean before they finish the sentence. She didn't know it yet, but that was the whole business plan.
Acting didn't pay the bills. Neither did the twenty-six jobs before it, or the ones that came after. Each one taught her something and let go of her anyway, until the restlessness that had followed her through every role finally had somewhere to land: TravelBrokers Inc., her family's agency, founded in 1988.
She didn't walk in with a script. She walked in with a craft — the read. She used it to listen past what clients said to what they actually wanted, and to build trips that didn't just move people, but changed them. Within a few years she was a top-producing advisor personally responsible for $1M+ in annual travel sales, built almost entirely on referrals and repeat clients who felt truly understood.
That's the difference between an advisor who books and one clients trust for life. Christina isn't teaching a theory — she's teaching the exact read, discovery, and retention system that built a seven-figure book of business from scratch, one relationship at a time.
What she noticed next is the reason Frankly exists. The advisors coming up behind her weren't short on information — they were drowning in it. Sixty-woman cohorts. Video libraries nobody finishes. Scripts that make everyone sound the same. What was missing wasn't content. It was a coach: someone to sit across from them the way she'd learned to sit across from a client, and teach them to read the room instead of reciting a brochure.
Frankly is that mentorship — private, one woman at a time, built on the Meisner Technique and thirty-eight years of a real agency behind it. Not a certificate and a goodbye. A home.
Bold. Honest. Frankly.
