Shannon knows her business! As an administrator & event planner, I really respect her process!
I love this podcast! As a new retreat host myself, I am getting so much good information on what to do and what NOT to do. I love hearing not only Shannon’s experience but also from her guests who come from a variety of fields. The marketing and sales themes have been particularly helpful. After listening to a few, I bought Shannon’s book and have researched some of her guests and may even end up hiring one! Keep it up!
I appreciate the diversity in guests on this show, have researched the guests’ offers after listening and even spent 3 months working with one of the guests, Lorina Owen!
All this to say, it’s a valuable resource for those looking to learn and/or grow.
As a wellness coach and retreat leader I really appreciate the valuable information that this podcast provides. It’s always nice to hear what others are doing in the retreat space and to gain new perspectives and ideas.
Shannon is awesome!! it is so amazing that we have this space to tell our story of the amazing work that we do to and provide a beacon of light to our clients!! Thanks so much Shannon for providing this space!!
