I flew to Bali for a surf camp. A conversation I had there about failure inspired me to launch a small business.

Gina Jaguttis came to Bali to improve her surfing and left with a newly launched side hustle.

Gina Jaguttis

• Gina Jaguttis launched a slow fashion workwear brand after being inspired at a surf camp.
• Her business idea came from personal struggles finding quality professional clothing.
• She said she realized that if the business fails, it would at least make a good story.

On a Monday morning in early December, I met Gina Jaguttis as we loaded our surfboards into the camp van just before sunrise.
