Surf Lessons Every Entrepreneur Needs to Hear | Made in Portugal S2E7
In this solo episode, I trade the boardroom for the beach and break down what years of catching waves have taught me about building a business.
We talk about:
🌊 Patience — waiting for the right wave (or the right moment) instead of forcing it
🌊 Failure as fuel — why falling isn't the opposite of progress, it's part of it
🌊 The three types of people on the beach — the ones who never paddle out, the ones who try once and quit, and the ones who keep falling and keep getting back on the board. Guess which one wins.
🌊 Enjoying success while it lasts — standing on top of a wave only lasts seconds. That's the lesson: savor it while it's happening, know it's fleeting, and trust that if you're willing to keep paddling out, it'll come around again.
If you're building something — a business, a life in a new country, anything worth doing — this episode is about learning to fall well, get back up, and enjoy the ride while it lasts.
