In this re-drop episode of The No BS Travel Advisor Podcast, Marcie sits down with Megan Whitley Medlin, founder of Guide Girl Travel Co., mom of four, Airbnb host, and group trip leader who’s doing business her way.

Megan didn’t build her travel business overnight. She built it slowly, intentionally, and around her life, not the other way around.

From signing her very first group contract (with a very real fear she might end up alone in Montana 😅) to leading 11 women through national parks and witnessing unforgettable wildlife moments, Megan shares what it actually looks like to grow a sustainable, profitable business without burning out.

💥 In This Episode, We Get Into:

Why you don’t need a million-dollar sales badge to be successful
The power of calendar control (and why it changes everything)
Saying “no” as a legitimate business strategy
How niching down attracts better, easier clients
Why using DMCs can simplify your workflow and increase your income
What it really feels like to lead your first group trip

✨ Key Takeaways

Success ≠ overworking yourself
Slow growth is still growth (and often better growth)
Boundaries are not optional if you want longevity
You get to decide how your business operates
