Surfing, brownies, and the universe calling
It’s always interesting when a chance meeting brings two people together who share quite a deal in common.
I recently had the great pleasure of meeting the infectiously positive George Kalpakis.
Many years back, George left the relative safety of the corporate world to pursue his passion and start a business with his wife. Along the way, he’s made sure to find time for family while getting in a healthy dose of surfing and some snow holidays.
It’s interesting because, funnily enough, myself and my business partner in Smorgasboarder, Mark (who thankfully is not my wife), also left our corporate gigs in search of something that would afford us more time with family with plenty of surfing and snowboarding to boot.
We both just so happen to very much like brownies, which incidentally is the business George and his wife Caroline started some ten years ago called Brazen Brownies.
