In this episode of The Travel Business Unpacked podcast, Meredith Calloway sits down with Heather Vergara, founder of Show Them the World, to unpack her journey from corporate brand marketing to building a multi-million-dollar travel business.

Heather shares how her background in marketing and storytelling helped her attract clients organically through content, why shifting her focus to luxury travel was a turning point for growth, and how building the right team—starting with operational support—allowed her business to scale beyond the solo advisor stage. From navigating a host agency switch to hiring ahead of growth, Heather offers honest insights into the mindset shifts and decisions that made expansion possible.

Along the way, the conversation weaves in the personal side of entrepreneurship—raising well-traveled kids, designing a family travel calendar with intention, and experiencing those full-circle moments that remind you why you took the leap in the first place.
