What if you could spend every vacation in a castle, living like some of the greatest royalty members for your next holiday?

Everyone goes away on holiday for summer. Many look for new enriching and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. But not many find them. Today, we are exploring the magic of history, resilience, and curiosity with Roger Masterson, famously known as “The Castle Man.”

What you will learn in this episode:

• Why you need to immediately replace the word "failure" with "feedback".
  
• How Roger built a niche business booking Celtic castles before the internet was even widely used.
  
• Why the best business ideas often come from copying something that already works and simply doing it better.
  
• The profound difference between climbing a corporate ladder and building a lasting legacy.
  

Roger Masterson is the founder of Celtic Castles, a unique company that helps guests book stays, weddings, and experiences in historic castles across Scotland, Ireland, and beyond. He is a passionate entrepreneur, gardener, and storyteller who has personally slept in countless castles—including the exact room Helen Mirren slept in! You can find him online at Celtic Castles.
