10/24/23 • 40 min
Join us on our 10th episode!
What a milestone and what an opportunity to talk about the holiday that Dennis and Soroosh went on most recently.
They said it themselves:
- Let's go on an active holiday
- Let's limit social media and phone usage
- Let's connect with each other, but also connect with strangers like you would on a solo trip
Dennis and Soroosh are unpacking all this and much more in this very special episode!
They discuss the challenges they faced, the learnings they brought back home and share their biggest highlights and some beautiful moments that emerged from having goals for this holiday.
This episode is a strong recommendation for anyone who wants to go on a holiday in the future and especially, if you're thinking about surfing. Understand how surfer mentality can teach us a profound lesson about living in the present moment.
Tune in for a lively conversation that reminds us of the beauty of connection, spontaneity, and the power of the present. 🏄♂️🌴🌟

With the support of our listeners, we were able to exceed our goal of raising 250 EUR for men's mental health! We also hosted a men's circle and ran 100km throughout November to raise awareness for men's health.
