Ever dreamed of quitting your 9–5, moving somewhere tropical, and starting fresh as your second act? 🌴
On this episode #210 of the Second Act Success Podcast, Shannon Russell sits down with HGTV’s Betting on Paradise stars, Steph Sitt and Luke Shantz, to share their incredible journey from corporate life in Canada to renovating a rundown hotel in Costa Rica, all while raising two young daughters and filming their adventure for national television.
Steph and Luke open up about:
- How they knew it was time to leave their stable corporate careers
- Selling everything and taking the leap to move their family abroad ✈️
- The behind-the-scenes story of filming HGTV’s Betting on Paradise
- The challenges (and wins!) of running a boutique hotel in Costa Rica
- Starting over and creating a business — plus what they’re building next, including transformational Costa Rica retreats
If you’ve been dreaming about a second act, this conversation will inspire you to bet on yourself and take bold steps toward a life you love.
