Hey there Travel Advisors!
Welcome to the brand new Travel Biz CEO Podcast!


Look we get it, because we are travel advisors too! It’s hard to try to navigate all the things you have to do when you are an entrepreneur.


This is a show about juggling all those things, but with a slight twist: It’s about leveraging marketing, business systems, and mindset to build a business that is high in PROFIT, low in STRESS, and one that gives you the ability to have the greatest IMPACT in the world. It is about finding the balance in your business so you are running your business and not letting your business run you.


To be successful it’s not enough to just love travel. You need to be the CEO of your business and have a handle on your marketing, business operations, and cultivate a healthy mindset all at once. That’s where we come in.


We are three travel advisors that saw a glaring need in the travel industry - the need to look at the whole advisor. Through our own travel entrepreneur journeys we all joined communities and signed up for courses and masterminds to help push us to the next level. And all of them ended up falling short of our expectations.That's why we started Kinship Travel Academy where we focus on the Mind, Body, and Soul - or the Marketing, Business Operations, and Mindset - of an advisor.


One thing we have really recognized over the years is that there are a lot of programs for travel advisors that are usually singularly focused: only mindset, only marketing, very little about business. And most stay at a 101 level. So we wanted to do something a little different. A little more radical.


I’m Ashley in addition to being a co-founder and Business Ops nerd of Kinship Travel Academy and one of the hosts of this podcast, I am the founder of Kinship Vacations, a host agency that helps IC’s start their own travel business through education and coaching. In 2019, the American Society of Travel Agents named me Travel Entrepreneur of the Year for my work educating travel agents through Kinship Vacations.


And I’m Wendy, another co-founder and Mindset Mentor of KTA and one of the hosts of this podcast, as well as the founder of Rebel on the Go, a travel agency that helps women create real, radical, life-changing travel experiences for kick-ass women. I am also a Certified Life Coach and I combine coaching into my transformational travel business.


And I’m Krystal, the final co-founder and Marketing Guru of KTA and the final host of this podcast. I am the founder of Serendipitous Traveler where I am the Girlfriend Getaway Guru that specializes in retreats and getaways and the Marketing Strategist for Kinship Vacations




Each week we release episodes to help you navigate the travel entrepreneurial space. From real talk on marketing strategies for your business, to systemizing your business and having a command on the back end so things run more efficiently, , to cultivating the mindset and building your values into your business - we’ve got your back.


Whatever the topic, we want to break it down into exactly how to make actionable decisions in your business that serve you.


It’s a show for modern travel advisors, created by modern travel advisors.


If you're a travel advisor who wants to achieve balance in your life and work as the CEO of your business with a healthy marketing plan, control over your business systems, and the mindset to execute all of it, you are in the right place.


This show is made for you.


Is building a business easy? No, but our hope is that this show will make it a little bit easier.


Let’s do this!
