Lindsay Blain—wife, mom of three, and travel industry mentor living just outside of Memphis, TN. She became a travel agent while pregnant with my daughter, driven by the dream of staying home with my kids while contributing financially to our family. But like many, she struggled to make it work—juggling motherhood, self-doubt, and the uncertainty of where to start. Everything changed when she discovered a system that transformed my business. In her first year using it, she booked over a million dollars in travel. Fast forward to today: Her business partner, Kim, and Lindsay built Castle Explorers, a thriving agency with nearly 100 agents, and our business has grown to over $15 million in travel sales. But my true passion? Mentoring and coaching travel agents. Lindsay believes success isn’t just about knowing how to book trips—it’s about confidence, mindset, strategy, and having the right support system. If you’re ready to build a thriving travel business, break past the struggles holding you back, and create the freedom you’ve always dreamed of, she can’t wait to help you get there. Let’s make it happen together!
