      In this episode of The No BS Travel Advisor Podcast, Marcie sits down with Megan Whitley Medlin, founder of Guide Girl Travel Co., mom of four, and badass group trip leader. Megan shares her journey from embroidery shops and fitness studios to building a slow-but-mighty travel business while raising her kids and running an Airbnb.

      She opens up about the leap of faith it took to sign her first group trip contract, what it was like leading 11 women through Montana’s national parks, and how magical moose sightings turned into lifetime memories.

      Together, Marcie and Megan get real about:

      • Why success isn’t measured by a million-dollar sales badge.
      • How to set boundaries with clients (hello, calendar control!).
      • Saying “no” as a free business strategy.
      • Niching down to attract aligned clients.
      • Why using DMCs can save your sanity and increase commissions.

      • Megan’s story proves that you don’t have to hustle yourself into burnout to build a profitable, fulfilling travel business. Whether you’re a mom balancing sports schedules or a new advisor learning to say no, this episode will inspire you to slow down, set your own pace, and build a business that feels good.
