About this listen
What if your side hustle on a school bus became a coastal lifestyle brand?
In this episode, Pat Miller sits down with Tomas Gesumaria, founder of East Waves Surf Co., to unpack how a high school passion for social media grew into a thriving East Coast surf community and apparel line. From screen-printing in his mom's garage to partnering with surf shops and breweries across the coast, Tomas shares the real story behind the grind—turning unemployment checks into opportunity and fear into fuel.
Key themes:
- Building a brand before you have a product
- Getting comfortable being uncomfortable
- Why it's never too late (or too early) to bet on yourself
Dive in for a conversation about grit, growth, and the wave of entrepreneurship that starts with a single spark.
