Little Giant: Designing a Life You Love with Marcia Heath

What happens when you realize the life you’ve been living isn’t truly your own? In this episode of Beyond the Bestseller, I sit down with Marcia Heath, author of Little Giant: The Story of Aruba’s Surf Shop and the Rebels Who Built It. Marcia shares her inspiring journey from corporate success to creative fulfillment after a life-altering experience led her to question everything she thought she wanted.

We explore:

• Marcia’s personal wake-up call and how it pushed her to leave a high-achieving career behind.
• The story of two friends in Aruba who defied traditional success to build a business rooted in fun, friendship, and purpose.
• What it means to design a life on your own terms—and how to find the courage to do it.
• The challenges of transitioning from corporate marketing to creative nonfiction writing.
• How storytelling, both in books and her upcoming documentary, can inspire others to embrace authenticity.

Marcia’s journey and the story of Little Giant will inspire anyone feeling stuck in a life that doesn’t fit, reminding us that it’s never too late to choose a different path.
