“The future is bright and we can shape it – let’s try our best!”
– CoWork Surf co-founder, Pier Stein

Welcome to the Doing Epic Stuff podcast with your host; Mike Drohan.
Together we’ll explore the stories and journeys of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Pier Stein is living his free life.

Currently based in Bali, Indonesia, Pier is part of a growing movement toward long-term remote work; people choosing to play, stay and work from paradise.
#BeYourEpic

Earning Dollars and spending Rupiah.
Surfing during the day and working late into the night with a tribe of likeminded Digital Nomads - as Pier himself puts it:  “Is not just a fun move, it’s a smart move.”

But it hasn’t all been fun in the sun...

Pier is effectively the last man standing from the original trio of founders behind the bootstrapped start-up; CoWork Surf - think a kind of fusion between aggregated Surf Hostel / Co-working spaces or a kind of AirBNB for digital-surf-nomads, if you will.

Join me as we delve into the story of this University Grad-come-Co-founder, with salt in his veins, chasing his epic in The Land of The Gods & heavy wave breaks.

Tasty topics include:

• The value in defining and knowing your audience niche when launching a start-up
• The most important ingredients needed to create great co-founder chemistry
• What it’s like to live and work in paradise and how Pier makes it financially viable

Show notes:

• CoWork Surf homepage: https://www.coworksurf.com/
• Bingin Beach, Indonesia on a 'good' day... (note this is where I personally scared the hell out of myself by paddling too deep into the break, because I was wave hungry, then getting caught on the inside by a set of rogue waves, with nowhere to run...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAaiK5MeuQc
• The Uluwatu cave paddle out is not for the faint hearted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9lYpxm4L64&t=11s
