From Burnt Out to Fired Up in the Caribbean

Have you ever dreamed of quitting a job to pursue a passion? That’s exactly what college buddies David Putnam and Yair Lichtenstein did when they ditched the rat race and headed to the idyllic shores of Aruba. Their bold decision gave birth to Bula Surf Shop, a “little giant” that succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. 

Through vividly portrayed scenes from the Caribbean and in-depth interviews, author Marcia Heath recounts how David and Yair battled the odds to build a highly profitable and innovative lifestyle brand. Little Giant offers a unique take on entrepreneurial daring and the true meaning of success, including insights like:

• The power of nurturing deep friendships especially during major life transitions
• How to cultivate a magnetic brand without ads or hype
• The one simple secret to savoring each day to the fullest
• Unexpected life wisdom from the world of surfing

As a non-surfing Baby Boomer, Marcia Heath never expected writing about two Gen X “surfer dudes” would rescue her from a late-in-life rut. It’s just one of many surprising takeaways in this uplifting exploration of what it takes to live courageously and on your own terms.
