81. Four Years, One Dream: Building an Off-Grid Glamping Resort in Rural Spain
Jun 23, 202644 min
What would you do if the dream business you've poured your heart, savings, and future into still hadn't opened four years later? Most people would have walked away. When architect Danny Shafrir left a successful career in London, cycled across North America, and eventually settled in the wild landscapes of Galicia in northern Spain, he thought he was embarking on an exciting new chapter. His vision was bold: transform an abandoned granite quarry into a unique off-grid glamping retreat immersed in nature. What he didn't anticipate was a four-year battle with bureaucracy, environmental approvals, delays, uncertainty, and the constant question every entrepreneur dreads: "Was this the right decision?" But this isn't a story about failure. It's a story about patience, resilience, and discovering that sometimes the greatest value isn't found in reaching the destination... It's found in the person you become along the way. In this fascinating conversation, Danny shares the realities of creating a nature-based hospitality business from scratch, why he chose the harder path when easier options existed, and how an abandoned quarry ended up teaching him lessons about business, life, and success that no business plan ever could. If you've ever faced setbacks, questioned your decisions, or felt frustrated that your dreams aren't moving as quickly as you'd hoped, this episode is for you. __________ Danny Shafrir - FincA Galicia Website https://fincagalicia.com Newsletter https://fincagalicia.beehiiv. com/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ fincagaliciaadventure/ __________ Sarah Riley - Glamping, retreat events, and guest attraction Glamping Academy & Owners Club https://inspiredcourses.com Glamping done -for- you marketing studio https://inspiredcollectiveltd.com/

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
