What if the only thing standing between you and a thriving travel business is your own mindset? 

I'm chatting with the amazing Iris from wmnsWORK and By Iris about what it really takes to build a successful travel business. 

Spoiler alert: it's not about having the perfect strategy or working yourself into the ground. 

We're talking mindset shifts, finding your people through peer support, and why leaning into your weird, unique story is actually your biggest competitive advantage. 

Iris also shares how her tourism accelerator has helped travel entrepreneurs quit their 9-to-5s and triple their bookings without the burnout. 

If you're ready to stop playing small and start betting on yourself, you're going to love this conversation.
