I started surfing not late. Ridiculously late.Before turning 31 I’d never stood on a surfboard, a skateboard or a snowboard - being a diehard fan of good old skiing - so I came to my baptism in the water completely “untouched.”That total lack of experience, though, didn’t stop me from taking on whitewater taller than me, and waves that were genuinely frightening when they came at you.Before moving to Costa Rica, I could only practice what would become my fav

If you’re reading these lines, you might be wondering whether I’m about to sell you yet another magic formula like some business pseudo-guru.I know, I kind of brought that on myself.The plain, unvarnished truth, though, is that in my career as an entrepreneur I came close to going under more times than I care to admit.Not that there’s anything to be ashamed of, but I have the enormous flaw of being a perfectionist, and a proud one at that.The other side of the coin is that what plenty of people
