Founders Reset: Favorite Vacation Spots of 2025

🌴 Growth Capital Podcast — Special Episode (Part 2) 🌴

What does rest look like for founders, CEOs, and private equity leaders who spend their lives building and scaling businesses?

In the final episode of our 2-part Year-End Series, we step away from balance sheets and boardrooms and into something just as important: reset, perspective, and time away.

In Founders Reset: Favorite Vacation Spots of 2025, guests from across the Growth Capital Podcast share the places that helped them unplug, recharge, and think clearly — from quiet coastal towns to historic cities, nature escapes, and global destinations.

🌍 Vacation spots featured in this episode include:
• Santa Claus Village, Arctic Circle, Finland
• Charleston, South Carolina
• Oregon Coast
• Puerto Vallarta & Sayulita, Mexico
• Anna Maria Island & St. Pete Beach, Florida
• Abaco Island, Bahamas
• Hawaii
• London
• Humacao, Puerto Rico
• Lisbon
• Madrid, Spain
• Ephraim, Wisconsin
• South Korea
• Israel
• Florence, Italy
• Costa Rica
• Japan

Each destination comes with a story — why it matters, what it provides, and how time away ultimately makes leaders better at what they do.

And to close out the episode, Justin Dixon shares his own favorite place— and why it continues to pull him back year after year.

🎧 Whether you’re planning your next trip or simply rethinking how you disconnect, this episode is a reminder that rest is not a reward — it’s a strategy.
