I've always found the whole "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life" thing to be kind of bullshit. Who actually LOVES what they do?

Well, if you're Mantas Zvinas, you just love what you love and then create a business around that. 

Mantas grew up loving surfing and yoga, and in his later years developed an affinity for the party scene... soooo, naturally he started a business called Surf, Yoga, Beer. 

Surf, Yoga, Beer started with an adventure to Costa Rica where Mantas carefully balanced the perfect amount of fitness and fun. Since then he has hosted over 50 of these adventures in countries around the world while also building communities for local meetups and workouts in numerous cities. He has expanded beyond just surfing and yoga too. Adventures today could include anything from hiking to HIIT classes, and everything in between.

And what does he do in between those trips around the world...? Well, he practices what he preaches. Mantas took a gig as one of the first-ever Soulcycle instructors back in 2013 and he has been teaching fitness classes with them ever since.

We talked about how Mantas balances his "fitness" job with his "entrepreneur" job, his immigrant value of hard work, how a travel company navigates Covid, and how often he actually has a shirt on...
