    S21 Ep1: Discover the healing power of water with Nick Hounsfield, founder of The Wave and One Blue World
    Sep 16 2024

    In this captivating episode, Holly sits down with visionary entrepreneur Nick Hounsfield, founder of The Wave and One Blue World, for an inspiring conversation about creating change, overcoming challenges, and his journey from osteopath to social impact pioneer.

    Nick's story is nothing short of an entrepreneurial fairytale—a dream born from £500, a love for water, and a relentless determination to bring a piece of the ocean to Bristol. He shares the decade-long journey of building The Wave, an inland surfing destination, where purpose-driven vision meets groundbreaking engineering.

    As Nick recounts the highs and lows of raising £23 million, navigating personal health challenges, including a stroke, and seeing his dream come to life, the conversation delves deep into resilience, purpose, and the power of nature. His passion for health and well-being, connection to people, and Blue Health (the therapeutic benefits of water) shines through in every story.

    Key Takeaways:
    • The Power of Blue Health: Nick explains the concept of Blue Health—how being around water improves our mental and physical well-being.
    • Entrepreneurial Resilience: From facing financial obstacles to experiencing personal hardship, Nick’s story of overcoming adversity is both humbling and motivating.
    • A Purpose Beyond Profit: The Wave is more than just a surfing destination. It's a place that fosters connection, wellness, and social impact.
    • Impact and Legacy: Nick’s vision doesn’t stop at surfing. With One Blue World, he’s working to create spaces that connect communities to nature and each other, redefining how we live, work, and play.

    Whether you're an entrepreneur, creative, or simply looking for inspiration, Nick’s story will remind you that the impossible can be achieved with unwavering passion and a clear sense of purpose.

    Grab your pen and paper for this one—you won’t want to miss the life lessons from a man who's created waves, both literally and metaphorically.

    Tune in now and prepare to be inspired by Nick’s incredible journey of creating impact through connection to water and community.
