We had the good fortune of connecting with Sunita Goldstein and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Sunita, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The year was 2010 and I was hiking my favorite bluff trail in Big Sur immersed in the serenity of nature’s beauty. The turquoise waves came in intervals crashing against the jagged rocks with the occasional bark of sea lions in the distance. There was no one else in sight – it was simply me and the sea.
As I meditated on the shore and gazed outward at the boundless horizon an inner spark ignited inside my heart, and I knew in that moment I wanted to share my passion for the outdoors with other like-minded folks.
Throughout the hike I continued to envision how I could help others experience the same joy and fondness I did for nature, while also building a community and lasting friendships. Inspiration came tapping – the wind was brushing up against my skin as it urged me to share these breathtaking views, mesmerizing landscapes, and irreplaceable moments with the world.
And so, my lifelong dream fruition into reality. That same year I offered my very first Epic Retreat in Napa Valley. I’ve come a long way in the past decade, continuing to follow my adventurous feet as they lead me through endless trails and remarkable places. I am thrilled to share my passion with other like-minded individuals.
What should our readers know about your business?
Epic-Retreats is a collection of exciting, inspiring, and invigoration adventures for those who love to explore the great outdoors, connect with nature and build lasting friendships. We customize day retreats, multi-day retreats throughout national parks in the United States and around the world, sparking your pioneering spirit and helping fulfill desired dream destination. We also offer outdoor experiences for resorts in the Bay Area – Rosewood, Sandhill.
One thing I’m very proud of is how I started my business 15yrs ago just by word of mouth.and it continues to grow in such a way without much social media marketing to this day.
What sets us apart is the intimate client relationships I’ve build over the years. Most of my clients have built lasting friendships through my retreats and many continue to attend retreats as budding friends!
What I want to let others know is that building a strong relationship with guests is key. Because if they like what you do and offer, they will spread the words. Its all about how you make them feel!
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

I absolutely love Big Sur and I’ve taken many of my clients here countless times. I even wrote the above blog to share why one has to visit Big Sur!
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Shoutout to Chrystina Katz my keynote speaker mentor and coach!
