Get ready for an incredibly inspiring on-location episode as Sam sits down with the phenomenal Shannon Jamail – multi-passionate entrepreneur, therapist, mentor, best-selling author, podcast host, and the visionary founder of Retreat Ranch, a breathtaking 46-acre retreat center just outside Austin, Texas. Recorded in one of the barns at the ranch, this conversation is a deep dive into the power of trusting those micro-nudges from the universe, following your gut even when it makes zero logical sense, and how to bring those gigantic visions on your heart to life.

Shannon shares the incredible journey of how Retreat Ranch came to be – from an initial vision and a property in California that didn't vibrate, to finding raw Texas land that did, and building it into a haven for connection, joy, and transformation, one step at a time (even through a pandemic!). This episode is a goldmine for anyone dreaming of creating something bigger than themselves. Sam and Shannon explore why in-person retreats are so powerful for clarity (Sam shares how a $15k retreat led to a massive vision expansion!), the importance of stepping into your "discomfort zone" for growth, and how clearing your energetic "gunk" unlocks your intuitive abilities. If you need a reminder that big dreams are built with messy first steps and unwavering trust, this one’s for you.
