The Unstoppable American Tourist- Whitney Lee- Episode #66
What if running a thriving PR agency, traveling Europe for the summer, and turning 40 in Ibiza were all part of the same success strategy? The Unstoppable American Tourist, Whitney Lee, founder and principal of True Story PR, joins Rich Sanders to reveal how she built a business that she can run from abroad - and why faith, flexibility, and hard work make it possible. From Milan to Barcelona to a birthday trip to Ibiza, Spain, Whitney shares the real logistics behind her traveling and working lifestyle. She explains how she keeps her agency moving with a local-neighborhood routine, AI-powered travel planning, and a structure that lets her work hard during the week and explore on weekends without losing momentum. You'll discover: * How Whitney uses Claude to choose safe, local neighborhoods while traveling solo * Why a month-long Airbnb can be cheaper than two weeks * The difference between PR and marketing, and why PR is really about visibility * The five PR pillars her agency uses: partnerships, activations, influencers, awards, and media relations * How travel has sharpened her perspective on business, culture, and the mindset of "anything is possible" * Her faith and why that is such an important part of her business Rich and Whitney also get into the bigger questions behind entrepreneurship: what it really takes to build a business for 13-plus years, why "luck" has nothing to do with it, and how prayer, surrender, and stewardship shape every decision she makes. Whitney shares how her faith informs leadership, how she handles client responsibility while traveling, and why success should always come with a responsibility to bless others. They also talk about the cultural contrasts between Europe and America, the freedom and resilience that come from traveling alone, and the charitable causes closest to Whitney's heart, including Shelter House and Children's Volunteer Health Network. If you're an entrepreneur, a creative, a traveler, or someone wondering how to build a life and business with more freedom without losing discipline, this conversation will challenge and inspire you. Perfect for anyone who wants more than hustle - and believes success is meant to be used well.
