About this episode

Brianna reflects on starting her travel business from scratch in 2026, sharing key decisions and strategies for success.

In this solo episode, Brianna reflects on what she would do differently if she were starting her travel business from scratch in 2026. With 10 years of experience behind her, she breaks down the foundational decisions that matter most, from choosing the right host agency to getting honest about your network, picking a niche early, investing in the travel business, and building systems before they are urgently needed. Brianna also shares why proximity still matters when building a client base, how to use slow seasons as intentional build time, and why AI should be treated as infrastructure rather than a shortcut. Whether you are brand new to the industry or years into your travel business, this episode is a practical reminder that clarity, consistency, and confident decision-making shape the path forward. Above all, Brianna brings the focus back to the work that actually matters: getting in front of the right people and building a travel business that can hold real weight.
