Hear from Erik and Joanna Olsen, founders of Whirly Board, a startup company that began in a small-town Wisconsin garage in 2014 and founded on the belief that time spent riding a board is directly proportional to quality of life.

This is a great episode for anyone who wants to chase their dreams and needs a dose of inspiration to go for it!
