#62 – Make Fun Happen, Create Cool Products & Improve The Environment | Chris Lynch Jul 12, 2018

Show notes

You’ve heard the first part of this story before. Shit, it might have even happened to you. Chris Lynch graduated in 2008 with an Economics degree and was ready for a life full of Hedge Funds on Wall St. A few years later, the San Diego native Lynch found himself on the beach with no job and no idea what to do. The second part of this story is unique. Lynch got a call from an old friend, Michael Samer. Lynch and Samer worked together as tour guides for a kayak company in La Jolla. Samer told Lynch that the business was selling and he wanted to buy it with Lynch. With no entrepreneurial experience, Lynch said yes. The third part of the story is purely awesome. What started as a kayak tour company in 2010 has turned into a premier California lifestyle company, Everyday California). “We want to make fun happen, create cool products and use business to improve the environment.” With merchandise, a 1% pledge for the environment and even their own IPA - they are accomplishing their mission. In this episode (link) of the Millennial Momentum podcast, Chris and I talk about his entrepreneurial journey, his toughest moment in the business and how he’s built such a strong brand. The fourth part of their story, the future, is unknown but Lynch is in no rush to expedite growth in if it damages the culture they’ve built. And his advice for others who sit where we was in 2010? Just start. It’s too easy to not put a few hours a week into a passion project. “Whatever it is that you want to do, start right now. Start today.” Check out tomalaimo.com or "Tommy Tahoe" on Twitter, Instagram & YouTube for more.

#60 Living With A Seal Book Review Jul 06, 2018

Show notes

Most of us are stuck in a routine. We do the same thing every morning – whether it’s waking up with our families, getting a workout in or heading straight to work – it usually doesn’t vary much. Jesse Itzler caught himself in this trap. Itzler cofounded Marquis Jet (which sold to Warren Buffet), helped to pioneer Zico coconut water (which sold to Coca-Cola) and currently owns the Atlanta Hawks. In his spare time, he runs ultramarathons. He is not someone you would categorize as needing to “shake things up” or get more fit. But that’s not how he saw it. He knew he needed a change. So, like any normal person, Itzler went down to the local gym and hired a trainer, right? Wrong. Instead, he cold-called a former Navy SEAL – and probably the toughest man alive – David Goggins. He asked Goggins to live with him and his family for 30 days. Wait, what? Itzler wrote about the experience in his book, “Living With A Seal.” I read it so you don’t have to. Here are 9 ways that Itzler’s decision can help you break through to the next level. “Most of my successes in life have come from learning how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Like I said, I just want to get better.” - Jesse Itzler For more, check out millennialmomentum.net
