In this episode:

Shannon introduces La Villa Bonita, a Mexican culinary vacation destination, highlighting its unique blend of cultural immersion, traditional cooking techniques, and a warm family-like atmosphere. Founders Chef Ana Garcia and her husband Robb share their journey in creating a space where guests connect through food, community, and shared experiences, emphasizing the importance of stepping away from daily routines to foster personal and professional growth.

Here are two takeaways from Season 8 Episode 6:

  1. Work is a part of our family life, not separate from it.

Chef Ana sheds light on the seamless integration of how she and Robb integrate destination work and daily living. Ana and Robb’s approach to how they interact with their staff reflects this philosophy, creating an environment that feels personal, welcoming, and rooted in community values.

  1. Getting away allows you to see things from a different perspective.

The transformative power of stepping out of daily routines will lead to gaining clarity and inspiration. Whether through a culinary vacation or a mastermind retreat, the opportunity to disconnect from the familiar can lead to fresh ideas, new connections, and personal growth.
