  • Sometimes feels like I should be paying for this info.

    I came into this podcast thinking I already had a solid handle on the industry, and every single episode has proven me wrong (in the best way). Every Epcot has takeaways that are practical, specific, and immediately applicable. It feels like she’s speaking directly to me and honestly feels like coaching I should be paying for.

  • Cringe indeed

    The kind of person who tells you how to avoid scams while also being a scammer. Takes pride in being rude.

  • Inspirational

    I never listen to podcasts but Marcie’s musings have got me hooked! She has such a wonderful, inspirational and genuine personality that you feel as if she’s really rooting for you to be the best version of yourself. What’s more, she’ll tell you what’s holding you back (it’s you) and she’ll vocalise what you’re too afraid to say to yourself out loud.

    I find I often get emotional listening to Marcie because she gives me so much support without even knowing me and so I’m truly grateful to hav... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Redrop: Rachel McDowell - Redefining what true success feels like
Q: What is your stance on charging fees when booking itineraries or transfers?
Her unpopular opinion favors charging planning fees and ensuring clients pay for the service, with flexibility to book components directly when appropriate if it results in better outcomes for clients and service quality.
Redrop: Rachel McDowell - Redefining what true success feels like
Q: What changes did you implement to move away from the 'always-on' sales culture?
She implemented boundaries (appointments, defined response times), reduced instant-response pressure, and refocused marketing on a calendar-driven, value-based approach that respects both clients and personal time.
Redrop: Rachel McDowell - Redefining what true success feels like
Q: How did you approach the Machu Picchu trip and sell-out the group?
She leveraged existing personal networks, started with a tight waitlist, ensured responsible planning with partners like G Adventures, and built trust by clearly outlining terms, insurance, and expectations; the group ultimately sold out and attracted a waitlist.
Redrop: Rachel McDowell - Redefining what true success feels like
Q: So what does a day in the life of Rachel's travel business, mom life look like?
Rachel describes balancing family with a travel business, time-blocking, focusing on core trips (especially women's group adventures), and delegating or stepping back from overly broad offerings to maintain sanity and profitability.
Maximize Your TA Business Q&A Coaching Conversation
Q: Where do you feel your strength and confidence came from after your burnout period to catapult you back into the industry?
My strength and confidence came from recognizing my own worth, accepting that burnout was a turning point, doing intense self-care and therapy, and realizing I could sell anything if I committed to clear boundaries and purpose. This clarity allowed me to rebuild gradually, trust my instincts, and focus on the kind of work that aligns with who I am and what I want for my life.
