How two quiet renegades quit their careers to build a life they wouldn’t need a vacation from
What if you throw out the rules and make your own?
David Putnam and Yair Lichtenstein aren’t business gurus. Yet they uprooted their successful careers for a dream, and for the past two decades have run a thriving, much-beloved surf shop in the heart of the Caribbean. All while keeping the spark of entrepreneurial passion alive.
It’s a lesson in authentic living most of us learn the hard way.
When a high-stress job sent author Marcia Heath to the ER with unexplained memory loss, she was forced to a reckoning. Quitting on medical grounds was easy–but why did she have to be pushed to the breaking point? More worrying, what should she do now?
The answer lay on the shores of Aruba. Inspired by David and Yair’s daring, Marcia found herself compiling their unconventional pursuit of freedom into the book she wished she’d had all along.
David and Yair didn’t consult experts or get an MBA. They just knew conventional success made them miserable. Little Giant is the story of what happened next. It’s an invitation to trust your own instincts over the prescribed path.
