Ep. 11 | Laird Hamilton, Founder of Laird Superfood and Big Wave Surfer

Laird Hamilton, a big wave surfing athlete and wellness entrepreneur, is no stranger to danger and risk. Before he was a household name for breaking records, Laird took on many odd jobs (including modeling and acting) to fuel his true passion and vocation as a professional and competitive surfer and athlete.  

He took on opportunities to further his career and build a personal brand. From a humble recipe he created for his own use, he built a health and wellness company, Laird Superfoods. His company is based on the tenets he used as a spokesperson: honesty and belief in the product.   

Laird sits down with the Entrepreneur’s Studio to share how he went from a “young daredevil” on the most dangerous beaches in the world to the successful health and wellness entrepreneur he is today.
