Running residential retreats for entrepreneurs across the world with Chris Reynolds

Chris ran charity projects in Costa Rica, Peru, and Africa where
he got a taste for running live events. This led him to run ‘The
Entrepreneur House’, a productivity-focused residential retreat
in multiple cities including Barcelona and Chiang Mai. Chris
started off running his events over two months which is a pretty
herculean feat!... but has now reduced it down to 10 days.


Chris travels full time with his girlfriend although he likes to
stay in one place for several months at a time and told me the
term ‘slowmad’ which I hadn’t heard before to describe this
lifestyle.


Chris is a Podcasting machine and he’s produced close to 400
podcast episodes that I can find! Podcasting is a major sales
funnel for his events but we discussed how this is a long term
proposition and you need to really enjoy it. The second major
sales funnel is posting in forms and groups that Chris is a part
of. Chris shares his content widely on social media (Reddit,
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and this also helps with attendees
but no one platform worked especially well for him.


Along with the events, Chris runs productivity coaching and the
podcast also helps him get new clients for this.


In terms of the logistics of the events, Chris makes it a super
casual format with fixed sessions then free time in between and
the attendees often organize trips, etc by themselves. Chris gets
involved to make sure everyone is having a good time and to keep
the group dynamic good, although with the kind of people he
attracts it’s always a friendly crowd.
