I know one thing for sure...Life is 15% more fun when you're wearing a captains hat.
I started Woodies in 2012 to provide fun, beach-ready products made from wood and bamboo. I've been delivering the goods for almost 4 years and I'm very grateful to more than 50,000 happy (hopefully!) customers.
Here is a podcast I recorded for Shopify Masters about how I started Woodies
Who am I? I'm Cory Stout, I am the owner, president, and CAPTAIN of Woodies. I'm 30 years old, I'm from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I've been traveling full-time for the last 3 years while I operate Woodies. It's somewhat of an alternative lifestyle, but I love it and wouldn't have it any other way. I read the 4-Hour Workweek and built Woodies according to most of those principles.
