Description

What happens when you blend a deep love for travel, a calling for community, and a background in ministry? This week on The Travel Business Unpacked podcast, host Meredith Calloway is joined by Stacey and Fred Baker of Dogwood Travel Designs. In this episode, you’ll hear how the Bakers went from Disney family vacations to full-time travel entrepreneurship, carving out a niche in luxury faith-based group travel. They share how their son’s unique needs inspired Stacey’s start, how Fred’s pastoral background shapes their business vision, and how they’ve grown into a powerful team with complementary strengths. They also unpack mindset shifts around money and faith, the long game of growing group travel, and how the right community makes all the difference, especially when life throws you a curveball. Whether you're a solo advisor or building something with a partner, this conversation offers thoughtful insight into what it really takes to build a meaningful, sustainable travel business.Website: https://www.dogwoodtravel.com/Instagram: www.instagram.com/dogwoodtraveldesigns/
