If you’re left on your own in the middle of the ocean, what would you do?

Because isn’t this the essence of anyone’s life if you’re passionate about something that you don’t get a lot of support for? Or if you’re doing something that you believe in that others don’t necessarily believe in as well?

Today, we sit down with Peter “Twiggy” Van Ryan, who was raised by surfers, experienced abandonment in his youth, and has surfed in some of the most majestic waves around the world for 45+ years, and helped people overcome their anxiety, fear, and inability to surf. He’s sharing with us:

  • The mechanics of Entropy and why it affects how a man can survive any wave
  • Steps he took to overcome the creeping fear when he’s in the middle of the ocean on his own
  • What exactly he said “Don’t run away from this!” to, and what it taught him about moving forward
  • Overcoming an addictive personality and why he did not surf for 2 straight years.
  • How he lost nearly 100 pounds when he was overweight,
  • The single-most important way you can trick your brain to perform in impossible situations, and
  • Ways you can access and benefit from his community of 10,000+ people
