Ep. 133 - Surf, Business, Marriage, and Ministry with Bear and Cindy Woznick
If you’ve never tried tandem surfing before, it’s not as easy as it looks. It takes a lot of skill, determination, coordination and teamwork. It’s two people moving as one on a surfboard. And if you don’t, you could fall and get hurt. Kinda like a marriage.
Meet this week’s guest, Bear and Cindy Woznick. Tandem surf champion, author, entrepreneur, speaker, and TV host. They provide some great insight into working well as a team inside and out of the business. But more importantly, how to be honoring as husband and wife.
Listen in as you’ll hear some great life, marriage and business lessons from the surfboard.
