Ever feel like your "serious" job is slowly draining the fun out of your life? In this episode Barbara, the founder of surf-hat brand Kaiola, shares how a solo surf trip to Brazil inspired her to trade corporate London for full-time ocean living in Costa Rica. After a battle with skin cancer and struggling to find a surf hat that actually stayed on, she spent years prototyping a functional, stylish surf hat. Her story is a reminder that it's never too late to start something new and build a life around what you love.

We'll chat about:

  • How a solo trip to Brazil inspired Barbara to leave her corporate job and pursue surfing.
  • The prototyping journey behind creating a high-performance surf hat.
  • Why learning to surf later in life didn't hold Barbara back from building a brand around the sport.
