Nature as your co-leader with Anne Gordon 08/06/2026

Nature as your co-leader with Anne Gordon What if one of the most powerful facilitators at your retreat wasn't another coach, speaker, or workbook, but nature itself? In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I sit down with Anne Gordon, founder of Whale Wisdom Retreats, who has been leading transformational whale and dolphin retreats since 2007. Anne shares how creating space for nature, stillness, and meaningful experiences can lead to deeper transformation than simply adding more content to your agenda. Together, we explore why the most memorable retreats aren't built around packed schedules, they're designed around intentional experiences that allow participants to reflect, integrate, and truly change. In this episode, we discuss: ▪️ Why transformation happens in the quiet moments, not during back-to-back sessions ▪️ How nature can become a powerful co-leader in your retreat experience ▪️ Why your retreat theme should guide every decision, from the destination to the activities you include ▪️ The biggest mistakes new retreat leaders make when planning their retreats ▪️ Why giving participants time to integrate their breakthroughs is just as important as the teaching itself ▪️ Why successful retreat leaders begin promoting their retreats months before the event Anne also shares one of the simplest yet most powerful mindset shifts for retreat leaders: Sell people what they want, and give them what they truly need. Whether you're planning your very first retreat or looking to create a more meaningful experience for your guests, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about how transformation really happens. 💭 Connect with Anne Gordon Facebook: Instagram: @WhaleWisdomRetreats 🖤 Free Gift Download Anne's Ultimate Retreat Leader Planner: 🎧 If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with another retreat leader and leave a rating or review.

Stress Less, Earn More: The Value of a Retreat Planner with Marta Pizzarani What does it really take to host a seamless, profitable international retreat? In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I sit down with Marta Pizzirani, founder of Grapefruit Luxury Retreats, to discuss why having a local retreat planner can save you time, reduce stress, and elevate your guests' experience—especially when hosting retreats abroad.

How Structure Makes Retreats Profitable with Brent McCann What happens when men are finally given a space where they don't have to perform, fix everything, or carry the weight of the world on their shoulders? In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I sit down with Brent McCann, founder of True North Men's Retreats, to explore why men's retreats are growing so quickly and the incredible transformations that happen when men feel safe enough to slow down, connect, and be heard.

Authorship in the Age of AI: How to Write a Book That Positions You as the Authority in 2026. with Tina Kapp-Kailea What does it really take to write a book that positions you as the authority, not just another story on a shelf? In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, Leni Cavazos sits down with Tina Kapp-Kailea, international best-selling author, publisher, embodiment coach, and TEDx speaker, to unpack the truth about authorship in today’s AI-driven world. This conversation goes far beyond “write your book in 90 days.” Instead, it explores what most people don’t talk about: the emotional weight of writing your story, the responsibility you hold as a leader, and the difference between sharing for connection vs. oversharing without transformation. If you’re a coach, retreat leader, or expert looking to grow your visibility, build trust, and attract aligned clients, this episode will shift how you think about writing a book. ▪️ Why publishing a book is one of the fastest ways to build authority in 2026 ▪️ The difference between a memoir and a strategic authority-building book ▪️ How to tell your story without turning your audience into your therapist ▪️ Why “pain, pain, pain” storytelling repels instead of converts ▪️ The hidden emotional work behind writing—and why most people avoid it ▪️ How to use AI with integrity without losing your voice ▪️ What actually makes a book sell your retreats, services, and offers Tina also shares her journey through burnout, healing, and rediscovering purpose, and how that experience shaped her unique approach to helping women write powerful, truthful, and strategically positioned books. Because in a world where content is everywhere, your voice, your story, and your perspective are your greatest assets. And when done right, a book doesn’t just tell your story… it becomes your most powerful business tool. 🖤 Connect with today’s guest, Tina Kapp-Kailea: LinkedIn: Facebook: Instagram: Pinterest: If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to share it, tag us, and leave a rating 🎧💬 Plan a Profitable Retreat Start here to get the tools, support, and strategy you need: → → → → → → /episode/index/show/1b255004-e156-42d5-a381-7ab83dc5dbce/id/41053890

Why Every Coach, Speaker, and Leader Should Host a Retreat with Amanda Hietter What if hosting a retreat wasn’t just about the experience, but about expanding your impact, deepening client relationships, and building a more profitable business model?

Amanda supports coaches, pastors, and business leaders in designing transformational travel experiences, and in this conversation, we break down what most people get wrong when planning their first retreat.

Amanda also shares her journey from paralegal to travel expert, and how she now acts as the “right-hand woman” for retreat leaders, handling logistics, contracts, and details so you can focus on what truly matters: filling your retreat and leading a powerful experience. Inside this episode, we cover: ▪️ Why your retreat should start with your why, not the destination ▪️ The biggest mistake retreat leaders make (and how it delays sales) ▪️ 3 essential questions to ask before hiring a travel agent ▪️ How to create momentum, demand, and a “snowball effect” for future retreats If you’ve been thinking about hosting a retreat, or you’re already planning one, this episode will help you make smarter decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and focus on what actually drives results. 💭 Connect with Amanda Hietter: Instagram: 🎧 Grab her Top 7 Retreat Travel Tips: 🖤 If you enjoyed this episode, share it with someone who’s ready to host their first (or next) retreat and don’t forget to leave a rating and review. 🎧 Listen now and start building retreats that don’t just look good—but actually sell.

Why “Giving Back” Is Hurting Your Retreat Business with Lori McDowell 05/21/2026

Why “Giving Back” Is Hurting Your Retreat Business with Lori McDowell Most retreat leaders say they want to “give back.” But what if the way you’re doing it… is actually hurting your business? In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I’m joined by Lori McDowell, transformational strategist, retreat curator, and author of The Re-Invention Mindset, to break down a powerful (and often misunderstood) concept in the retreat space: You cannot give from a business that isn’t profitable. Together, we unpack: ▪️ Why discounting your retreat is NOT the same as giving back ▪️ The hidden cost of underpricing (for both you and your clients) ▪️ Why guests will often pay MORE for experiences that create real impact ▪️ The mindset shift from “my business is a charity” → “my business funds impact” Lori shares real examples, from corporate retreats building bicycles for children’s homes to immersive give-back experiences that deepen connection, purpose, and transformation. We also explore the psychology behind giving, decision-making, and why profitable retreats create a bigger ripple effect in the world. If you’ve ever struggled with pricing, felt guilty charging more, or wondered how to align purpose with profit, this episode will challenge the way you think about your business. And honestly… it might change how you design your retreats forever. 🌐 Connect with Lori: https://yourextraordinarylife.net Instagram & Facebook: @lori.mcdowell.5 🎟️ Want to Go Deeper?

From Self-Doubt to Leading Retreats: Helping Women Step Into Their Voice with Amy Leffler 05/07/2026

From Self-Doubt to Leading Retreats: Helping Women Step Into Their Voice with Amy Leffler What does it really take to lead a retreat, especially when you’re still questioning your own voice? In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, Leni Cavazos sits down with Amy Leffler, life and business coach, retreat facilitator, and co-founder of Be Well Ladies Retreats, to explore the internal shift that every retreat leader must make before anything else works. With over 20 years of experience in human resources and organizational leadership, Amy shares what it looked like to be successful on paper… while still feeling like she didn’t belong in the room. From corporate boardrooms to retreat spaces, this conversation dives into the real work behind stepping into leadership: self-worth, visibility, and the courage to be seen. This episode is part of our speaker series for the Sellout Retreat Summit, and Amy’s story is a powerful reminder that building a retreat business doesn’t start with logistics, it starts with identity. Inside this episode, we explore: ▪️ Why confidence and self-worth are foundational to retreat leadership ▪️ The connection between visibility and attracting the right retreat clients ▪️ How showing up online shapes trust before your retreat even begins ▪️ The truth about building a retreat business while still working a corporate job ▪️ Why success in retreats is built through consistency, not overnight wins ▪️ How one decision to “be seen” can open unexpected opportunities Amy also shares her personal turning point after attending the Sellout Retreat Summit, and how choosing visibility completely changed the trajectory of her business. If you’ve been holding back, waiting to feel “ready,” or wondering if you have what it takes to lead a retreat… this episode will challenge that narrative. ❕ Because your retreat doesn’t start when you arrive at the venue, it starts the moment you decide to lead. 🖤 🎧 Listen now and step into the version of you your future clients are already looking for.

From Inspiration to Implementation: The Missing Piece in Retreats Bridget James Ling 04/30/2026

From Inspiration to Implementation: The Missing Piece in Retreats Bridget James Ling What if the reason your retreat, or event, isn’t creating real transformation… is the way you’re framing it? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Bridget James Ling, founder of Freedom Queen and creator of one of the fastest-growing global movements for women building high-impact, high-profit businesses. We go beyond the surface of “retreats” and unpack what actually creates momentum, identity shifts, and real results inside in-person experiences. Bridget shares why she once said “I hate retreats”… and how that perspective led her to design events that generate million-dollar months, deep breakthroughs, and immediate implementation. We talk about: ▪️ Why most retreats fail to create lasting change ▪️ The difference between a retreat, a mastermind, and an expansion experience ▪️ How being “in the room” rewires your identity faster than anything online ▪️ The real reason people leave events inspired… but don’t implement ▪️ How to design experiences that create momentum, not just emotions ▪️ Why selling at your event is not optional, it’s your responsibility I also share my own journey, from building luxury experiences with brands like Marriott to discovering why 80% of retreat leaders don’t profit, and what needs to change. This episode will challenge how you think about retreats, events, and what it really means to create transformation that lasts.

The Awakening of the Dimensional Leader with Dr. Aimee Harris 04/23/2026

The Awakening of the Dimensional Leader with Dr. Aimee Harris What if wellness wasn’t just about one area of life, but about the full picture of how we live, lead, work, and connect? In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I’m joined by Dr. Aimee Harris, founder of Dimensional Wellness and creator of the Dimensional Wellness Matrix. With a PhD in corporate wellness and a deep background in leadership development, employee well-being, and transformational programs, Dr. Aimee brings a perspective that is both highly strategic and deeply human. We talk about why true wellness cannot be separated into neat little boxes, and how emotional, physical, social, workplace, financial, and spiritual well-being all influence each other more than most people realize.

Inside this episode, we explore: ▪️ Why wellness must be approached as an interconnected system ▪️ What the Dimensional Wellness Matrix is and how it helps identify imbalance ▪️ Why corporate wellness is a massive opportunity for retreat leaders ▪️ What companies are really looking for when they invest in wellness experiences This conversation is especially powerful if you want to create retreats and experiences that go beyond inspiration and lead to measurable transformation. 🎧 Listen in to hear how Dr. Aimee is redefining wellness leadership through a more complete and integrated lens.

What Broadway Can Teach You About Irresistible Offers 04/09/2026

What Broadway Can Teach You About Irresistible Offers What if your retreats sold the way Broadway shows do, months in advance, at multiple price points, with built-in demand? In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I’m breaking down the exact mechanics behind how theater producers consistently sell out shows… and how you can apply the same strategy to your offers. Because Broadway isn’t lucky. It’s engineered.

How Niching Down Filled This Retreat with Matthew Brandt What happens when passion meets structure, and the right niche changes everything? In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I sit down with Matthew Brandt, founder of Tactical Retreats, retired law enforcement officer, Navy veteran, and retreat leader creating life-changing experiences for veterans and first responders. Matthew shares his real, behind-the-scenes journey of launching retreats with heart, and learning (sometimes the hard way) how clarity, positioning, and niching down create momentum. You’ll hear how: ▪️ His first retreat barely filled, then a single shift led to 75 women on a waitlist in one week ▪️ Niching within a niche unlocked demand, confidence, and sustainability ▪️ Trauma-informed retreat design is not optional, it’s essential ▪️ Listening to your audience can radically transform your business ▪️ A small, boutique retreat model can scale into international retreats and property ownership Matthew also shares deeply human stories from the retreat space, from women arriving terrified and ready to leave… to sitting around the fire hours later saying, “I don’t want to go home.” We talk about leadership, safety, trust, resilience, and why passion alone is not enough, systems are what allow your mission to grow. This episode is a must-listen for retreat leaders who: ▪️ Feel called to do meaningful work ▪️ Want proof that strategy and heart can coexist ▪️ Are ready to refine their niche and scale responsibly ▪️ Believe retreats should heal, not create more trauma 👀 How to Connect With Today’s Guest ▪️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tacticalretreatunplugged/ ▪️ Website: http://www.tacticalretreat.org ⬛️ Book: Footsteps of the Soul: A Veteran’s Quest for Healing and Purpose Along the Camino de Santiago https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/footsteps-of-the-soul-matthew-g-brandt/1147720207 🎧 If you loved this episode, share it & leave a rating, it helps more retreat leaders find this work. 🖤 Plan a Profitable Retreat Start here to get the tools, support, and strategy you need: → → → → → → /episode/index/show/1b255004-e156-42d5-a381-7ab83dc5dbce/id/40024740

The Publishing Industry Reality: Why book sales alone aren’t enough for financial freedom with Timothy Flemming Jr In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, host Leni Cavazos sits down with publishing expert and Kingdom Launchpad founder Timothy Flemming Jr. for a powerful conversation that every author, coach, and retreat leader needs to hear. Timothy has spent over a decade helping hundreds of authors publish their books — but what he discovered is the truth most writers never hear: The book is not the business. It’s the doorway into the business.

Six-Figure Retreat Business: Pillar 3 - Sell for Profit In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, host Leni Cavazos takes you into Pillar 3 of building a Six‑Figure Retreat Business: Sell for Profit. If you’ve ever wondered why your retreats aren’t bringing in the income, stability, or sustainability you expected — this episode is your wake‑up call. Selling for profit isn’t about being pushy or salesy. It’s about treating your retreat like a real business… not a passion project, not a hobby, and definitely not a “hope the universe provides” operation. Leni breaks down: ◾️ Why transformative retreats STILL need profit to survive ◾️ The difference between marketing and sales (and why both matter) ◾️ The story of a retreat leader who accidentally priced away her entire profit margin ◾️ How boundaries, pricing integrity, and sales systems protect your business ◽️ Why 98% of your sales happen in the FOLLOW‑UP — not the sales call ⬛️ How to think like an investor when designing your retreat business ◻️ The crucial question every host must ask: Am I running a business or a hobby? Leni also shares her behind‑the‑scenes experience running revenue strategies for global brands — including how a single report helped increase outside‑guest restaurant revenue by 36% at the Ritz‑Carlton Dubai — and why these same principles apply to your retreat business today. If you’re ready to stop “winging it” and start building a profitable, scalable sales ecosystem for your retreats, this pillar is essential. 💭 Want to go deeper?
