From Fear to Fulfillment: Launching Your First Retreat with Brent McCan

In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I’m joined by Brent McCann—a mindset coach and men’s retreat facilitator—who shares the honest, behind-the-scenes story of running his first retreat from idea to execution.

Brent opens up about:

▪️ The moment in meditation that sparked his retreat vision
▪️ Facing fears, self-doubt, and the unexpected magic of breakthrough moments (like zip-lining transformations!)
▪️ The realities of pricing, profit margins, and learning from “what worked” vs. “what didn’t”
▪️ Why authentic marketing and alignment matter more than chasing followers
▪️ The power of retreats to help men open up, connect, and transform their lives

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re ready to take the leap and host your first retreat—or if you’ve hosted one and felt unsure about your next steps—Brent’s story will inspire you to keep going.

Tune in for real talk about retreat leadership, profitability, and creating experiences that change lives—including your own.

Listen now and remember: your retreat dream is bigger than you think.
