I'm not a big surfer, but I grew up on the water and around the water.

Over the years, I've noticed a number of powerful parallels between surfing and entrepreneurship. And, sitting at the beach one day, I started to think about what surfing might teach you about launching and growing a venture.

I distilled these ideas into a short essay, which I'm sharing as spoken word in today's short and sweet Good Life Project Riff.
