  • Premium Clients, Premium Results: Rethinking Retreat Strategy
    Jun 19 2025

    🔥 New on the podcast!
    Most retreats aren’t selling—and it’s not because of your marketing.
    It’s because your retreat isn’t solving a specific, high-value problem.

    In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I break down:
    ✔️ What perceived value actually means
    ✔️ Why people will pay $25K+ for the right retreat
    ✔️ How to stop creating “nice-to-have” retreats and start solving problems that matter

    This episode is a wake-up call if you want to charge premium prices and still feel aligned.

  • Why 90% of Retreat Leaders Never Host a Second Retreat
    Jun 12 2025

    Welcome back to How to Run Profitable Retreats with your host, Leni Cavazos—global retreat strategist and systems expert. This is Episode 2 in our 6-part series, and it’s one of the most personal, powerful, and purpose-driven conversations yet. 🎙️✨

    In this episode, Leni opens up about her unexpected journey—from producing world-class events at Ritz-Carlton, snow-covered galas in the Dubai desert, and launching Marriott Bonvoy… to walking out of her very first retreat experience in tears.

    And yet, the transformation came full circle.

    💥 You'll learn:

    • Why most retreats aren’t profitable—and why transformation alone isn’t enough
    • The “aha” moment that made Leni pivot from luxury events to transformational retreats
    • What she discovered after interviewing 100+ retreat leaders (and why 90% of them never hosted a second retreat)
    • Why you need more than passion—you need a strategy
    • The truth about $10K+ losses and the myths that normalize retreat failure
    • What your pricing, planning, and mindset really say about your business

    This episode is a raw, real behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to stop winging it and start building a repeatable, scalable, profitable retreat business.
