Mantas Zvinas and Samir Poonawala of SurfYogaBeer – Connection as Innovation

Can meaningful connections propel a business to scale, and scale fast? Can SurfYogaBeer’s process of bringing people together actually be a kind of innovation?

If you ask Mantas Zvinas and Samir Poonawala of Surf Yoga Beer, a fast-growing, incredible community all over the world who have had an experience on adventures, events, classes or just parties, the answer is a resounding “yes.” Mantas (founder of SurfYogaBeer and a SoulCycle instructor) and Samir Poonawala (Analyst at Tribeca Angels), join Dale Moss in the MouthMedia Network studio powered by Sennheiser.

In this game plan:

How Mantas’ success as a senior instructor at Soul Cycle played into taking on a growing trend and demand and putting it literally on a global scale

How he took what he learned out of the studio and brought it into the world

The concept of “enterment”train

How the mantra of “don’t think, just do” has been important

Scaling a business in the fitness space while maintaining authenticity

Building the right team, and how this team has come together

A lively round of “rose and thorn” –the travel version

And—goat yoga?
