Xero Gravity: Big Wins & Massive Fails

A laid-back carpenter by day, after hours you’ll find Jack Candlish crafting the perfect ride, one surfboard at a time… and he might just change the world while he’s at it. A nature lover with a passion for waves, Jack observed firsthand the contradiction between the tranquility of the ocean and the toxicity of polyurethane used to produce surfboards. The issue piqued Jack’s interest in building his own boards. Today, his eco-philosophy is the driving force behind Jack’s surfboard business, Organic Dynamic. “Sustainability for me means being able to do the things I love in ten, twenty, thirty years’ time,” Jack told Elizabeth. “It's important to try and make decisions now that will allow us to do that.” Tune in as Jack shares stories of entrepreneurial failure. That plus insight into the world of sustainable business, how to turn what you love into what you do, and enough surfing metaphors to keep you afloat for days. Xero Gravity #80 – it’s swell.
