| 472: How to Sell the Mexican Caribbean: Lori Gold on Niching, Resorts & Becoming a Destination Expert | 05 Oct 2026 | 00:58:27 | |
Selling the Mexican Caribbean is about a LOT more than finding a pretty all-inclusive resort. In this episode of Passports, Profits, and Pixie Dust, I’m joined by Lori Gold, creator of Mexperts and a travel industry veteran who has spent more than 10 years living in the Mexican Caribbean. We’re talking about what travel advisors really need to know to confidently sell Mexico—from qualifying clients and understanding resort areas to getting firsthand destination experience and choosing a niche you’re genuinely passionate about. In this episode:
One of my favorite takeaways? If you want to become known as an expert, you have to be willing to become obsessed with what you sell. Learn it. Experience it. Stay current on it. And become the person your clients trust because you know the details they can't find in a quick Google search.

Your Profitable Q4 Plan: Finish the Year Strong AND Set Up Your 2027 Q4 isn't just about squeezing in a few more bookings before December 31. The work you do now is also building the pipeline that will carry you into 2027. In this final episode of the Success September series, we're creating a simple, profitable Q4 plan that helps you focus on what actually moves your travel business forward—without trying to do ALL the things. We're talking about how to define what a successful Q4 actually looks like for you, reverse engineer your revenue goals into actionable marketing activities, and prepare for Wave Season before January arrives. Plus, we're redefining what it means to scale your travel business. Spoiler: it doesn't have to mean building a massive agency or working more hours. Sometimes scaling simply means getting more from what's already working. In this episode:

Keep it visible. And most importantly—actually use it. You don't need 47 new strategies to finish the year strong.

| 469: Systemize: Stop Running Your Travel Business the Hard Way | Success September (Part 2) | 14 Sep 2026 | 00:28:08 | |
Before you try to sell more travel in Q4, there’s one very important question you need to ask: Can your business actually HANDLE more clients? Because getting more leads and bookings sounds great…until you’re manually sending every email, forgetting to follow up on quotes, scrambling to remember final payment dates, and running your entire travel business out of your brain and seventeen Post-it notes. Welcome to Systems September, the next episode in my Success September series! In this episode of Passports, Profits, and Pixie Dust, we’re talking about how to create simple systems that make your travel business easier to run—and give you the capacity to actually GROW. And no, I’m not giving you a list of 47 automations you need to set up by tomorrow. Instead, I’m breaking your travel business into five core systems and showing you where to look for the friction that is costing you time, energy, and probably a little bit of your sanity.

| 468 The Back-to-School Business Reset: Why September Changes Everything | Success September (Part 1) | 07 Sep 2026 | 00:35:04 | |
The Back-to-School Business Reset: Why September Changes Everything | Success September (Part 1) September is basically January with better weather and pumpkin spice. 🍂 There’s something about back-to-school season that makes us want to pull out the planners, get back into routines, organize everything, and decide that THIS is finally going to be the season when we get our lives together. And your travel business deserves that same reset. In Part 1 of my new Success September series, we’re talking about why September is the perfect time to stop, evaluate what’s actually working in your travel business, and decide what deserves your attention for the final four months of the year. As a high school Spanish teacher AND travel agency owner, my routines change dramatically when school starts again. But you don’t have to be a teacher or have kids in school to feel the shift. Your routines change in the fall—and so do your clients’ routines and buying behaviors. Instead of waiting until January to make changes, let's use September as our second chance at a fresh start. In this episode, you'll learn:
Your Success September Challenge Schedule a September Reset Meeting with yourself. Give yourself at least 30–60 minutes and look honestly at your business. Ask yourself: KEEP: What’s working that I want to continue? STOP: What’s wasting my time, draining my energy, or simply not producing results? START: What needs to happen between now and December 31 to move my business forward? Then choose your Big Three priorities for the rest of the year. Because four months is a LONG time in business. You don’t need to write off the rest of the year because you haven’t accomplished everything January-you thought you would. And you definitely don't need to wait until January 1 to make changes you already know you need to make. Coming Up in Success September This is just Part 1! Throughout September, we're working through four steps to help you finish the year stronger: RESET → SYSTEMIZE → SELL → SCALE Next week, we're tackling Systems September: Stop Running Your Travel Business the Hard Way. We’ll look at the systems every travel advisor needs, what you can automate, what should stay personal, and where your business might be quietly stealing your time. Because the goal isn't just to get busier in Q4. It's to build a business that can actually handle the business you're trying to create. 🎧 If this episode gave you the back-to-school kick in the pants you needed, share it with another travel advisor who could use a September reset, and make sure you're subscribed to Passports, Profits, and Pixie Dust so you don't miss the rest of the Success September series! Remember: You don't need January 1 to start over. Sometimes all you need is a fresh notebook, a new routine, and a little September energy. 🍂✨ Links & Resources Connect with Lindsay: https://www.lindsaydollinger.com https://www.instagram.com/lindsaydollinger 💼 Curious about becoming a travel advisor?https://www.atlastiseetheworldtravel.com/quiz Try Tern: http://try.tern.travel/7fQCVH | |||

| 466: The Trust Formula: Why Clients Decide to Hire You Before They Ever Talk to You | Psychology of Selling Travel (Part 4) | 24 Aug 2026 | 00:18:10 | |
The Trust Formula: Why Clients Decide to Hire You Before They Ever Talk to You | Psychology of Selling Travel (Part 4) Why do some potential clients schedule a discovery call and book almost immediately, while others spend weeks asking questions and never move forward? The answer often isn't your pricing, your proposal, or even your sales skills. It's trust. In Part 4 of my Psychology of Selling Travel series, we're exploring one of the most powerful forces behind every buying decision: the psychology of trust. You'll learn why clients often decide whether they trust you long before they ever fill out your inquiry form, book a consultation, or request a quote. We'll dive into the five key trust-building principles—authority, social proof, familiarity, consistency, and reciprocity—and how you can intentionally incorporate them into your marketing, client experience, and travel business. If you've ever wondered whether your content is actually making a difference or how to stand out in a crowded travel industry, this episode will show you why trust is your greatest marketing asset. In this episode, you'll learn:
Whether you specialize in Disney destinations, cruises, luxury vacations, river cruises, all-inclusive resorts, or custom international travel, building trust is what transforms casual followers into loyal clients who book with confidence and refer their friends and family.

Because the truth is... People rarely hire the advisor with the biggest following. They hire the advisor they trust. And trust is built one conversation, one piece of content, and one act of service at a time.

Why Clients Ghost Travel Advisors (And What Psychology Says About It) | Psychology of Selling Travel (Part 3) Have you ever poured hours into researching the perfect vacation, crafted a personalized proposal, hit send...and then heard absolutely nothing? You're not alone. Ghosting is one of the most frustrating parts of being a travel advisor, but here's the good news: it's usually not personal.

We'll explore how decision fatigue, choice overload, fear of making the wrong decision, and simple human psychology all influence whether someone moves forward with booking their trip. If you've ever wondered why excited leads suddenly go silent or questioned whether you did something wrong, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and practical strategies you can start using immediately. In this episode, you'll learn:
Whether you're planning Disney vacations, cruises, all-inclusive resorts, luxury travel, or custom international itineraries, understanding why clients ghost can help you create a smoother booking process, build more confidence, and close more sales.

It's Not Too Expensive: The Psychology of Pricing | Psychology of Selling Travel (Part 2) Have you ever sent a travel quote only to hear, "That's more than we wanted to spend" or "We're going to think about it"? As travel advisors, it's easy to assume price is the problem—but what if that's not the real objection? In Part 2 of my Psychology of Selling Travel series, we're diving into the fascinating psychology behind pricing and why clients often say something is "too expensive" even when money isn't the real issue. You'll learn why perceived value matters more than the actual price tag, how to position your expertise with confidence, and simple shifts in your communication that can help clients feel more confident saying "yes." This episode isn't about convincing people to spend more money. It's about helping clients understand the value of the experience you're creating and positioning yourself as the trusted expert they hired for a reason. If you've ever struggled with pricing conversations, planning fees, or handling budget objections, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can start using immediately.

Stop Selling the Way You Buy: Using Sales Psychology & the Four Color Personalities to Book More Travel Clients Have you ever wondered why one client books after a single conversation while another asks endless questions, requests multiple quotes, and still doesn't move forward?

| 458: What I Wish Someone Had Told Me About the Travel Industry: Overcoming Gatekeeping, Scarcity Mindset, and Finding Your People | 29 Jun 2026 | 00:33:56 | |
Have you ever joined a Facebook group, attended an industry event, or asked a question in your business and walked away feeling discouraged instead of supported? You're not alone. In this episode of Passports, Profits, and Pixie Dust, we're having an honest conversation about something many travel advisors experience but few people openly discuss: gatekeeping, scarcity mindset, and negativity within the travel industry. Before you panic—this is not a rant session. Instead, we're diving into why these behaviors happen, how they can impact new advisors, and most importantly, how to rise above them without letting them derail your confidence or business growth. Whether you're a brand-new travel advisor, an experienced entrepreneur, or someone exploring a career in travel, this episode will help you develop an abundance mindset, find supportive communities, and focus on the relationships that truly matter. Because your success doesn't depend on getting approval from everyone—it depends on finding the right people and continuing to show up consistently. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✨ Why scarcity mindset shows up in so many industries—not just travel ✨ The difference between protecting your expertise and gatekeeping ✨ How negativity and competition can affect new travel advisors ✨ Why someone else's success does not take away from your opportunities ✨ How to find supportive communities and mentors ✨ Practical ways to protect your mindset and avoid getting pulled into drama ✨ Why being generous, collaborative, and relationship-focused can actually help you grow faster ✨ How to become the kind of leader and business owner you wish you had when you started Key Takeaway Don't let a few negative experiences shape your view of an entire industry. There are incredible people in the travel advisor community who are collaborative, supportive, and genuinely want others to succeed. Focus on finding those people, building authentic relationships, and creating the kind of culture you want to be part of. The travel industry—and the business world as a whole—needs more people who believe there is enough success for everyone.

| 457: Building a Business That Supports Your Life with Samara Bortz | 22 Jun 2026 | 00:51:59 | |
What if growing your business didn’t have to come at the expense of your wellbeing? In this episode of Passports, Profits & Pixie Dust, I sit down with business coach and mentor Samara Bortz to talk about sustainable business growth, navigating pivots, avoiding burnout, and building a business that actually supports the life you want to live. Samara shares her fascinating journey from professional musician and choir director to website designer and ultimately business coach. Along the way, we dive into topics that so many entrepreneurs are struggling with right now—including social media burnout, balancing a side hustle while working full-time, and finding marketing strategies that align with your personality and strengths. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by trying to do all the things, questioned whether you're showing up on the "right" platforms, or wondered when (or if) it's time to leave your day job, this conversation is for you. In This Episode, We Discuss: ✨ How Samara transitioned from music educator to entrepreneur and business coach ✨ Why many women entrepreneurs are craving a more sustainable way to grow their businesses ✨ The truth about social media burnout and how to market your business without forcing yourself into strategies you hate ✨ Why Instagram isn't the answer for everyone ✨ How platforms like Substack are creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs and writers ✨ The importance of building a business around your strengths rather than someone else's blueprint ✨ Side hustle vs. full-time entrepreneurship: knowing when you're ready to make the leap ✨ Financial safety nets and why Samara doesn't subscribe to the "quit your job and figure it out later" philosophy ✨ The mindset shifts many entrepreneurs need to make around money, success, and career paths ✨ Hiring support, virtual assistants, and creating more capacity in your business ✨ Morning routines, journaling practices, and productivity habits that help entrepreneurs stay grounded ✨ Favorite books, travel destinations, and a few fun rapid-fire questions Memorable Takeaways "If a platform is draining your energy, getting little engagement, and you don't enjoy showing up there, maybe the question isn't how to fix it—maybe the question is whether you need to be there at all." "Your business should support your life, not the other way around." "The more safety and stability you can create before making a major leap, the more thoughtfully you can grow your business."

The REAL Reason Travel Advisors Aren’t Getting Leads www.lindsaydollinger.com Are you posting consistently but still not getting inquiries? Do you feel like everyone else is booking trips while you're wondering where your next lead is coming from? In this honest and practical episode, Lindsay pulls back the curtain on the real reasons many travel advisors struggle to attract leads and clients. Spoiler alert: it's usually not the algorithm. If you've ever thought:
This episode is for you. Lindsay breaks down the most common lead-generation mistakes travel advisors make and, more importantly, how to fix them so you can become more visible, build trust, and create more booking opportunities. Whether you're a brand-new advisor or you've been in the industry for years, these simple shifts can help you generate more conversations, more referrals, and ultimately more bookings. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✨ Why inconsistency is quietly sabotaging your visibility ✨ The messaging mistake that makes you sound like every other travel advisor ✨ How to create content that positions you as the expert ✨ Why posting without a call-to-action is costing you leads ✨ The truth about selling (and why it's not as scary as you think) ✨ How to stop posting like a travel fan and start showing up like a travel professional ✨ The five skills that matter more than followers when it comes to attracting clients Key Takeaway People are traveling. People are booking. People are looking for help. The question is: are they seeing YOU? The advisors who consistently attract leads aren't necessarily the most experienced or the ones with the biggest audiences. They're the ones who show up consistently, communicate clearly, and aren't afraid to invite people into a conversation.

Ever feel like you’re sprinting into the end of the year instead of intentionally stepping into it like the CEO you truly are? In this episode, Lindsay shares one of her FAVORITE year-end traditions—the CEO retreat. And no… it doesn’t require a fancy hotel, a five-figure mastermind, or a flight to a tropical destination.

How to Reflect on the Past Year Like a Disney Pro Take inventory of your wins, lessons, and flops—just like Disney evaluates which shows, snacks, or events resonated each season. 2. How to Reconnect With Your Big Vision Revisit your “why” and make sure your business still aligns with the long-term mission you’re creating—because just like Walt said, Disneyland will never be finished. 3. How to Choose Your 3 CEO Priorities for the New Year Too many goals = diluted magic. Lindsay teaches you how to set focused priorities that support real momentum. 4. How to Map Out Your Profit Plan for the Year Design a simple quarterly roadmap so you know what you’re launching, when you’re selling, and how your offers support your revenue goals. 5. Why Fun, Magic, and Joy Should Be a CEO Strategy Sprinkling in more ease, play, and magic isn’t optional—it’s fuel that helps you create a sustainable business you actually love. 🌟 Your CEO Retreat Challenge Schedule your retreat!
