About the Event
Riding the Waves: Resilience, Passion & Never Giving Up
An inspiring conversation with Elsa & David Lazarus of Port AdVenture Cruises
What does it take to keep showing up when everything seems to be working against you?
Every small business owner knows the feeling. The sleepless nights. The unexpected setbacks. The moments when you question whether it's all worth it. Yet somehow, you find the strength to keep going.
Join MBF as Elsa and David Lazarus, the heart and soul behind Port AdVenture Cruises, share a deeply personal story of resilience, determination and unwavering optimism. Their journey has been far from smooth sailing. From storms on the river and mechanical breakdowns to the countless challenges that come with running a tourism business, they have faced obstacles that would have caused many to walk away.
But they didn't.
