If you’ve ever questioned whether you have what it takes to lead unforgettable, transformational retreats and events, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the RetreatBoss Podcast, Catherine Kontos sits down with Laura Villep, Global Head of Events at Mindvalley, to explore what it really takes to design experiences that are both powerful and profitable.

Laura has led events across 20+ countries, generating millions in ticket sales and she's sharing the lessons behind the spotlight.

What you’ll walk away with:

● The mindsets and traits every world-class event planner needs

● How to navigate chaos with calm (military coups, power outages, and all)

● Why your audience shapes the story—and how to design with them in mind

● How to work across cultures, time zones, and expectations without losing your mind

● The surprising ways transformation actually happens (hint: not always on stage)

Whether you’re planning a retreat, corporate experience, or festival—Laura’s insights will change how you approach your next event.

This is strategy meets soul. Experience meets execution.
