This dance between leveraging your innate ambition/drive while also feeling fulfilled and finding purpose is one many experience. In this episode we discuss just that.
This episode features Chase Kosterlitz, fondly known as 'Surfer Chase,' a father, and former college basketball athlete turned water sports enthusiast who has carved his life & career out of his passion.
Sit down with us as we navigate the tides of Chase's life journey—from his early days of playing basketball to his eventual love for kiteboarding and how the devastation of Hurricane Katrina steered him onto this unexpected path. We delve into the delicate balance of competitive drive and the drive for self-worth, and how these two have shaped Chase's personal and professional life. Listen as we unpack the pitfalls of an unchecked pursuit for excellence, and how learning from legendary surfer Kelly Slater's career has taught him the importance of celebrating accomplishments and creating new goals.
Chase brings to light the importance of trusting your instincts and following your passion, a mantra that has guided him away from conventional paths and towards a life brimming with freedom and fulfillment. He shares his insights into the unique challenges of parenting while living an unconventional lifestyle and the transformative power of quality time spent with loved ones. Join us as we explore how to manage fear in decision-making and how taking risks can lead to unexpected success. Dive in, and you might just uncover the secrets to igniting your own journey and setting your own waves in motion.
