Not many people would leave a cushy job at Telsa to follow their dreams and live a truly wilder life, BUT that’s exactly what Ryan Lynch of Timber Surf Co did!  From road tripping down to South America to starting a more sustainable performance wooden surfboard company, he is truly living his version of life beyond 9 to 5!  In this episode, Ryan tells us all about how he made the leap from corporate life to business owner, how Timber Surf is creating a more sustainable surfboard, why sometimes the hardest part is remembering to pay your taxes, and so much more!

We all know action and adventure sports can be dangerous, but we don’t often talk about how we collectively make some of our favorite activities safer for everyone, the surf industry is no different. After witnessing a close friend lose his life in a tragic surfing accident Yehuda Ben-Hamo created The CORE Project to equip surfers and ocean enthusiasts with ocean safety knowledge and emergency response training.  Listen to Episode 80 of The Occupation Wild Podcast on Apple or Spotify to hear how Yehuda is advancing ocean safety through research, public outreach, and education!
