Most people think partnerships start in boardrooms.

This one started with a cancer diagnosis… a beach in Mexico… and a kid selling Chiclets.

In this episode of Success Through Connections, I sit down with Cami Parker, and let me tell you, this conversation goes places you don’t expect, but somehow feels exactly like where you’re meant to be.

Cami is an empowerment expert, cancer survivor, retired educator, mom, grandma, and the founder of Expedition Global, a purpose-driven travel company built on one powerful belief: when you experience the world with intention, both you and the world are changed forever.

What began as a personal wake-up call after cancer turned into a life-altering journey through Haiti, the Caribbean, Central America, Ireland, and beyond, rescuing trafficked children, empowering women to start businesses, and building sustainable community partnerships that don’t disappear when the trip ends.

And here’s the thing, none of it started with a master plan.

It started with listening to a nudge… saying yes to a connection… and doing the next right thing.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why the most meaningful partnerships rarely start where you think they will
  • How a life-altering moment can strip away what doesn’t matter and clarify what does
  • The power of purpose-driven travel and why “helping” without listening can do more harm than good
  • How women around the world are turning education, mentorship, and community into real income and independence
  • Why you don’t need to be “ready” to start, you just need to start
  • And how one simple connection can quietly change the entire trajectory of your life

This episode is raw, emotional, hopeful, and deeply human.

If you’ve ever felt a pull toward something bigger…
If you’ve ever wondered whether your passion could actually matter
If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for permission, clarity, or the “right time”…

This conversation is your reminder that connections are rarely convenient, but they are always powerful.

Hit play.
Let this one move you.
And don’t be surprised if it changes the way you see your own connections — and what’s possible because of them.
