Picking a venue is voting with your dollars. Don't undervalue what your travel dollars mean. Before I started building venues I never really thought my travel dollars matter. Seeing the cultural changes in West Virginia and Mexico, I see firsthand that these retreat centers have positive influence on the surrounding community. In the podcast, I share some of the small but also big ways that where you go with your retreats really influences the lives of those that host you. It's been a very positive thing for me and I hope the podcast shows you the retreat leader that you are part of something big.
