Becky Mendoza and Emi Koch had some wild ideas. They wanted to advocate for the environment, give back to local communities, travel the world, and encourage other surfers and travelers to use their voices and make a difference.
Becky is the founder of Changing Tides Foundation, and Emi created Beyond the Surface International. Both non-profits connect surfers and travelers around causes that give back to local communities, and create positive change. These young women are inspiring not only because they took their wild ideas to do good on a local level, but because they’ve also been able to organize others to implement their ideas on a global scale.
We talked about how to find the cause that lights you up, how to seek joy now, and why you get so much more from giving than you ever get from getting.
You’ll love listening to this podcast if:
- Giving back is important to you.
- You want to protect the environment.
- You want to travel the world.
