The UGLY truth about Global Surf Brands - ft. Austin, Founder of Arvo Eyewear

  • Summary

  • Hosted by Sustainability expert Ariana Whittingham, Founder of Ecocious.com.au


    Join sustainability expert, Ariana Whittingham and Inspiring guests as they strip back "sustainability" from what is understood at the industry level to empower you towards better shopping choices.


    We dig deep into what is actually going on in the world, where we are heading, and most importantly... where we can make improvements, together.


    Austin and his co-founder Jake (a former professional surfer) have been working on fun and edgy collections of sustainable, premium eyewear.

    The duo bounce between Hawaii & Southern California - manufacturing and sourcing locally to create beautiful sunglasses alongside their team of local artists/ creatives.


    After getting to know Austin and the story behind ARVOs intention to create stylish, affordable eyewear, it was only natural to invite him onto the podcast to share some horrifying stories about the surf industry, that I personally wasn't informed about yet!

    I was shocked (but by no means surprised).


    We recently signed ARVO to Ecocious.com.au - you can check out their collection of stylish & protective UVA + UVB eyewear, online now!


    What we love about ARVO is that they are not afraid to do things differently.

    This is transparent across their design, manufacture & production rate.


    Taking inspiration from the slowness of living in Hawaii, they have innovated new ways to operate in harmony with the global climate crisis we find ourselves in today.


    Business/Entrepreneur inspiration:

    Austin shares his perspectives and adaptations for living two different lifestyles between Hawaii & California.

    Austin shares his "perfect day" and how he enjoys daily connection with nature for optimal focus.

    We also touch on Austins routine and the habits he has developed in order to show up as his best self, everyday.
