Make it Soulful

Given my mission to change the world through tourism, one person and one community at a time, I am proud to be a recognized field builder in transformative tourism, helping travel brands turn purpose and passion into performance. Through dynamic teaching, speaking, and coaching, I help you bring sustainability, regenerative development, and transformative experience design to life—inspiring innovation, boosting brand value, and creating experiences that travelers love, hosts embrace, and businesses and communities thrive on.

“Transformative experiences within regenerative systems are not just the future of tourism; it is life evolving in its purest form. We can fight the current and continue to harm, or flow within it and flourish. ”

— Jake Haupert

Offerings

As a Founder of the Transformational Travel Council, I am proud of the reputation I’ve earned as an next-gen experience strategist, designer, sustainable tourism expert, and regenerative consultant and facilitator.

Why? Because experiences are sacred, they make us feel alive, whole, and ready to travel, live, be different, and be our true selves. They shake and stir us into expanded awareness of our interconnection, loving, and caring for others and nature.

There’s virtue and value in that; tourism leaders, hospitality, and destinations that ‘get this’ have a bright future ready to step into transformative hospitality, experience design, guiding, and place-making, inspire others, and never look back.

I teach on how to design transformative experiences nested in regenerative systems. This is through a playful yet visionary lens—where purpose meets performance. Together, we unlock bold ideas, design with heart and impact, and build experiences that elevate brands, empower people, and create lasting value in a changing world.
Join me for my next Signature Program on October 7th, 2025 or let’s chat about private education and consulting.
Informed, and inspirational speaking on transformative experience strategy, design, and regenerative community development means exploring how intentional, values-driven journeys can ignite personal growth, inspire systemic change, and foster thriving communities—where human potential, cultural integrity, and ecological vitality are nurtured through purpose, co-creation, and meaningful connection.

Be a Regenerative Leader
Leading by nature requires reconnecting with your true human nature, and going beyond the roles, routines, noise, and linear thinking to find stillness, presence, and harmony.
We can meet online and/or surrounded by the natural world, where distractions fade, clarity emerges, and nature becomes our guide, revealing purpose, inner wisdom, and resilience through simplicity, silence, and the rhythm of life.
Consulting on transformative experience strategy, design, sustainable tourism, and regenerative community development. I empower organizations to create purpose-driven, high-impact offerings that differentiate their brand, drive long-term value, and foster stakeholder engagement. This approach aligns business goals with social, cultural, and ecological outcomes, creating resilient models for conscious growth, innovation, and meaningful market relevance.

Experience & Approach

As a 5x purpose-driven founder—including The Transformational Travel Council, Explorer X, and Beyond Retreats—I help illuminate how experiences, people, and places shape our lives and drive meaningful business impact. My approach is different: it’s not just about learning, but unlearning—shifting mindsets, activating awareness, and consciously designing the conditions for deep human connection, cultivating wisdom, and transformative growth. It’s where purpose meets potential and performance. It’s what I do.

Current Projects

I love what I do and feel grateful every day for the work—and the people—I get to journey with. But to keep that fire burning, I need to step away sometimes—to recharge at home, in nature, with friends, family, and the open road.

I dive deep with my clients, which means I’m selective about how many projects I take on. It’s not just about quantity—it’s about impact.

Right now, I’m fully engaged with some exciting projects... but I do have space for one or two more. Are you ready to take that next step?

To offer insight into my work, a few of my current projects are below …

Designing ecosomatic experience strategies and migratory eco-camps that awaken the body’s deep connection to nature—capturing the wild’s perfect moments and inspiring nature lovers to become dedicated conservationists through immersive, transformative encounters.
I’m immersed in a long-term journey of experience development that flows in harmony with regenerative community growth—co-creating vibrant conditions where every form of life flourishes, weaving purpose and passion with the heartbeat of the community and its dedicated stewards.
Co-leading a transformative father-and-son rite of passage safari in Tanzania—an immersive journey where connection deepens with the self, vibrant cultures, and the wild heartbeat of nature and wildlife, creating unforgettable bonds that resonate across generations.
