Congratulations to Lasonja and Reginald Prothro for achieving One-Star Director! Soni says, "Hello, we are the Prothros (Soni and Regi) and we recently relocated to Nashville, Tennessee. Regi is originally from Anniston, Alabama, and I'm from Grenada, Mississippi. We are both proud retired Air Force veterans, parents of four grown children, and grandparents to two amazing grandsons.
"Travel has always been a part of who we are. As military brats and later as military members ourselves, we spent much of our lives moving, exploring new places, and experiencing different cultures. After retiring from the Air Force, we both continued to travel, taking mini vacations throughout the years. That's when we realized that travel wasn't just something we enjoyed—it was part of the lifestyle we loved. We often say, 'Once we started living that way, we couldn't stop and wouldn't stop.'
"When we discovered PlanNet Marketing and InteleTravel, it felt like a natural fit. We were already traveling and talking about travel with everyone we met. The only difference was that now we could earn income doing something we already loved. For us, it was truly a no-brainer.
"One of the biggest reasons we've experienced success so quickly is because we've never approached this business as selling. We genuinely believe it would be friendship malpractice not to share an opportunity that has positively impacted our lives. Travel is one of the easiest and most organic conversations you can have. Everyone either loves to travel, wants to travel, or has a dream destination on their bucket list. Whether we're talking with friends, family members, or complete strangers, the conversation happens naturally.
"In less than eight months, Regi and I achieved the rank of One-Star Director and helped grow our organization to more than 100 businesses. If there's one piece of advice we'd give others, it's this: Don't overthink it, success has come from simply sharing information, staying consistent, and letting people decide if it's right for them. We focus on building relationships, being authentic, and keeping the conversation simple.
"A fun fact about us is that we met 'traveling.'
"Our philosophy is simple: We're not gatekeepers. If we find something that can help someone travel more, earn more, or build a legacy for their family, we're going to share it. It's about creating experiences, making memories, helping others dream bigger, and proving that it's never too late to start something now."
