Surfpeople's Podcast

The interview for this SurfPeople Podcast was a lot of fun. I met Dave a few years back when he and James Jelly introduced me to Network Marketing. David has a passion for surf and life, There are not to many days when he doesn't surf and says that its the best thing in the world. He lives by the mantra that we Must Live Our Lives on our own terms. Which means that we don't trade time for money.

In this episode I talk to Franziska Iseli on how she uses surfing in her life to "Be Awesome." I love the saying "Be Awesome" so much I may even use as SurfPeople's mantra. Franziska is a woman of many talents and loves building new business and helping others to grown their own. She is married to Christo Hall who was in episode number 3, so there is no doubt that surfing and the ocean is at the core of everything they do. I really love her attitude towards life and thinks that passion is good, but it can be dangerous to try to eek out a living from your passion. So she recommends that always follow your passion but if you are in a job that sucks try to apply passion to certain aspects of the job. If, after that you're are still not happy maybe then you should look at some alternatives. She operates and creates content for her Ocean Lovers website which started as a social experiment and she talks about to spend $5 a day to build the "Ocean Lovers" community. Franziska loves the Maldives (so do I) because li

Hayden Quinn has always had a passion for food, surfing and travelling. He explained to me his love of being able to share great stories whist being around food and surfing. In 2012 he was a contestant on Master Chef Australia and more recently his own show 'Surfing The Menu"

This SurfPeople Podcast has been a long time in the making since my last one in 2015. I've a had a pretty rough ride after losing my Surf Shop in Lennox Head but a magical trip to the Maldives has got my business juices flowing again.

Today I'm talking to James Schramko who is the host of his own podcast and online business coaching business called SuperFastBusiness. You can see what James is up to here. www.superfastbusiness.com

Any one that owns a business knows how hard it is and how many hours you have to put in. You're not making much money but you still have to do the hard yards. Having a rest is just as important as working hard and my guest for this episode knows all about hard work. Glen Carlson is the CEO of Key Person Of Influence and you don't become one of Australia's fastest growing companies without putting in some solid effort. I caught up with Glen just after he had returned from a holiday with his Dad and we discuss amongst other stuff the importance of taking regular breaks and why it's so popular to start your own business at the moment. Check out his website www.keypersonofinfluence.com it's brilliant. I also recommend you attend one of their Business Brand Accelerator days at a city near you. This episode of my podcast is long over due, but that is mainly because I have been closing down my surf shop in Lennox Head. You can read about the reasons why in my post " Why A SurfShop Wasn't For Me!"  

Christo Hall was a professional surfer from 1998 right up to 2005 when he hung up his wetsuit and went in search of a career that allowed him to live a surfing lifestyle. Surfing has taken him around the world where he has gained some brilliant experiences and shares a story or two in the podcast. Today Christo surfs every single day and runs the highly successful marketing business called Basic Bananas. In this episode we talk about a few tips that help us plan our business, life and more importantly our surfs. Christo talks about his life as a pro surfer and how he used to stay focussed. We both agree that when we are surfing we are at are most creative. Christo and his wife Franziska have a little girl (that's not so little) that helps them feel good and full of gratitude, but I'll let him explain that in the podcast. To end off Christo gives us some brilliant tips on how to ensure how your business can keep on growing whilst you go surfing. If you want to see more on how Christo does this himself and how

Let me introduce you to Craig Parry. He's an amazing photographer and keen surfer. I have been lucky enough to talk to him about his photography and surfing adventures. Craig is completely self taught which the seeds of his professional photography were well planted when he was just 5 years old. In 2014 he was awarded 'The International Landscape Photo Of The Year'. From there he has created several masterworks called: Life & Death Emergence Dolphin Silk Craig takes us on his journey around the world and tells us the best way to get into surf photography is start with a Go-pro. From Byron Bay to Tonga Craig's images are truly amazing and I promise you will never get board of them. A visit to Craig's website is a must - www.craigparryphotography.com but I must warn you, prepare to be amazed. This is my second podcast and I already feel as though I'm getting the bug. To be honest writing blogs can be a bit tedious so when I discovered that I can have my own show, where I can talk about surfing I was instant
