In this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 5: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with Madi Rifkin.

Madi Rifkin is the founder and CEO of Mount, a platform that connects travelers with hidden gems and local experiences around the world. She started Mount at just 12 years old with a mission to change how people explore and engage with the places they visit. Today, her community of over 170,000 travelers is redefining sustainable and meaningful travel through authentic connections and off-the-beaten-path adventures. Madi is a two-time Rising Star Award winner and a recognized leader in the travel and short-term rental industry.

Christine and Madi discuss:

· What it was like for Madi to jump into the entrepreneurial journey at such a young age
· Persisting through failure, being willing to pivot, and how each relates to success
· Content creation and how partnerships can be a great option for smaller businesses
· Mount’s upcoming Influencer Marketing Summit and the new Mount App

Join Christine for this soulful conversation with Madi Rifkin. Available Wednesday.
