[INSIDE EUROSIMA PODCAST] 🎧🔈 A new extract from our latest podcast with , founder of .

“When Pierre (Agnès) invited me over to talk about taking over at Gotcha Europe, it was as if Santa Klaus had showed up and said: ‘here’s a gift: the brand you’ve always loved growing up. Here are the keys, do what you want, you have full freedom, but you need to shake things up.’ Of course, I said yes right away, since Gotcha really spoke to me.”

In this excerpt, Emmanuel Loheac looks back on a turning point in his career, taking over Gotcha Europe and bringing a bold new vision to an iconic brand.

A story of instinct, risk-taking and staying true to your roots in a constantly evolving industry.

Enjoy the ride!

Through discussions on business vision, branding, product development and the evolution of the surf market, he delivers an inspiring testimony about more than 25 years of entrepreneurship within the action sports industry.

[INSIDE EUROSIMA PODCAST] 🎧🔈 A new extract of our latest podcast with , Surf activist, former pro surfer & former Ocean Marketing Manager at Patagonia.

« We’re truly going through a difficult time. Environmental laws are once again under attack, fossil fuel production is booming, and recycling won’t be able to keep up. »

In this excerpt, Gabe Davies reflects on the environmental and systemic challenges facing our world today, and on the bold decision made by Yvon Chouinard and Patagonia to rethink the very structure of the company.

Rather than selling the business, Patagonia created a new ownership model designed to direct the company’s profits toward environmental causes, with the hope that it could inspire other businesses to rethink their own role and responsibility.

Enjoy the ride!
