This Viral, Must-Visit Attraction Is Built on Cookies, Creativity, and Community | Helen McArthur (MU Classic)
04/10/2026 | 54 mins.#1108 What started as a simple farm-stand cookie idea turned into a viral, must-visit attraction on Vancouver Island—and it all runs on creativity, community, and trust! In this episode, host Britlyn Williams sits down with Helen McArthur — aka the “Crazy Cookie Lady” — founder of The Crazy Cookie House, a wildly creative, honesty-based cookie farm stand in a rural community on Vancouver Island, Canada. Helen shares how a simple love of baking and a small driveway stand in 2022 quickly evolved into a full-on local attraction (complete with a whimsical cookie garden), thanks to a prime trail-side location, word-of-mouth, and a viral TikTok moment that put her business on the map. You’ll hear practical lessons on pricing with confidence, keeping a clear product focus, using creativity to stand out in a crowded market, and why her “always with kindness” approach — and honor-system payments — builds real trust and community connection!

01/10/2026 | 53 mins.#1104 Ever wondered how to build a real business with almost no startup cash — just your personality, a passion, and a good walking route? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Paul Whitten, founder of Nashville Adventures, to break down exactly how he started and scaled a walking tour company from scratch — without a big marketing budget or tons of upfront capital.

They dig into what actually differentiates a great tour (personalization, entertainment, and making guests feel seen), how to hire guides without losing quality as you scale, why reviews are the lifeblood of the business, and the role SEO, PR, and smart marketing play in building a tour company that can grow toward corporate events, new cities, and potentially even franchising!
