KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The oxygen candle is being burned at both ends and it’s just a matter of time until it’s too late to even reverse it unless we do something. To slow it down we need education.
- It’s mind blowing to me that multi-billionaires aren’t coming together to do something about it now. Bill Gates could probably save the situation on his own!
- My parents raised seven boys and I saw the amount of time my father worked and knew our time together, when we had it, was precious. Seeing his work ethic and him working his ass off was an inspiration to me to keep going.
- What drives me now is seeing people’s eye light up when I take them to places they can surf waves they can’t reach unless they go by boat, or even take them down to Baja, Mexico to experience the sight, sounds, food, and even smells of a new place as well as the surf down there.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Nobody knows about the dredging of the ocean floor.’
‘Never give up but know that it’s not going to last forever so take full advantage and don’t take things for granted.’
‘Health is the big driver for me now. Treat your body as a temple. Anyone can do it, it’s all about motivation.’
‘Do epic shit.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Manny Vargas is a professional bodyboarder and ex-lifeguard from San Diego with four decades of surf experience and is also a surf tour guide and photographer for Epic Surf Tours showing fellow ocean and water lovers all the amazing things that mother nature has to offer. Along with over 35 years of ocean experience, he’s certified in:
- Merchant Mariner Credential through the U.S. Coast Guard
- CPR Certified
- First Aid Certified
- Former California State Lifeguard
- FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certified (Drone)
Manny loves to travel and see the beauty of the world's amazing surf destinations. He says: “Riding waves, taking photos, and showing people a great time is what I love to do. When I see the stoke on people's faces when they watch their videos and photos at the end of the trip, I realize this is exactly what I was meant to do... SHARE THE STOKE and #DoEpicShit.”

ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
