“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing”. Thats John 15:5 from the Bible. Today's episode is with Dan Ulyate. Dan is the creator and founder of the company and brand, Abide. John 15:5 was the verse that inspired the name 'ABIDE' believing that fullness of purpose is found when abiding in our Creator. Dan and I started the morning off in the ocean, the best way… If you’re from the Sunshine Coast, odds are you’ve seen Abide somewhere along your journey, Dan is a passionate advocate of creativity and innovation, and his heart beats on giving people purpose as you’ll hear more about down the track. Abide culture is a clothing company and brand inspired by surfing, skating and creating, and believe that every individual is purposefully created, created to create and the essence of your purpose comes from abiding in God and being deeply rooted in Him. Through Abide, Dan is equipping people with quality clothing, and will hopefully inspire you to find purpose and live as ‘people of purpose’. In this episode Dan talks about his journey through and after school, to owning his own business. He also talks about creativity and innovation, how we were created to create, and why being innovative sets us apart from the rest. Dan is a perfect example of someone who breaks the stereotypes of christians and even surfers and skaters, and is fulfilling his calling to start a brand that gives back to people. Dan mentions some of the mentors he had during the beginning stages of Abide, and how that encouragement and guidance can be so significant. We recorded this episode after a coffee and sat at bench by the beach, with complementaries of waves. I think it’s time we introduce the man himself, Dan Ulyate.

I interview Mark from the Coffee Club Beerwah, Mark has opened himself to many professions including a bank teller and policeman. A passion for business led him to buy into a franchise with over 80 employee’s offering fast food. Marks business was eventually bought out by Mcdonald's, which led him to buy a supermarket. After being selected for a scholarship management program Mark immigrated to Australia, and the Sunshine Coast was his first stop to the present day. The experience of being his own boss was in need of a break and he worked for other people for 17 years to understand the process of business in Australia. Mark is now the manager of The Coffee Club in Beerwah, I would say the friendliest most welcoming coffee club on Sunshine Coast. Mark shares a great amount of knowledge on what success is, advice for young people and tips for small businesses. We also talk about the search for balance in life, and how you can choose to be happy almost every day.

Charlie has lived 22 lifetimes. This is a story that will examine what it means to make the most of what life offers you.
