What if your next corporate retreat didn’t just include wellness—but was designed around it?
In Episode 27 of Pioneers in Culture, Jordan Carroll, Founder & Director of Creative at Unlocked Authority, shares a refreshing take on corporate retreat planning: bake wellness into the schedule from the very beginning. Recorded live at Running Remote 2025 in Austin, Jordan dives into how intentional wellness practices—like cold plunges, saunas, nutritious meals, and friction-free routines—can create corporate retreat locations that fuel genuine connection, restore energy, and unlock creativity.
