## Resource

Daniel Robbins sits down with Sky Mitchell, Founder and CEO of Everwild Nordic Spa & Hotels, to unpack how getting fired 30 days into a senior corporate job became the beginning of her entrepreneurial life. Sky shares how she started with one Airbnb condo in Canmore, refinanced her BMW to fund her first deal, nearly went bankrupt multiple times, and ultimately built a hospitality and wellness real estate platform with hundreds of employees and nearly $1 billion in development. The conversation covers the rise of experience-driven travel, Nordic spas, retail investors, rejection, risk, intuition, family, fundraising, and why Sky believes the future of hospitality sits at the intersection of wellness, nature, and connection.
