#215 Jian Wong Yen – Building Cold Nips and Hitchhiking Europe on €10 a Day
Manage episode 502999727 series 3379729
This week I sat down with Jian Wong Yen, the founder of Cold Nips and a true social entrepreneur who has built one of Australia’s largest and most inspiring wellness movements.
We dive into Jian’s upbringing and personal journey to creating a community that’s not just about cold water dips, but about connection, resilience, and fun. He opens up about the lessons he’s learned along the way, and how small actions can create big ripples in culture and wellbeing.
One of my favourite parts of this chat is when Jian shares the wild adventure he had with his girlfriend — hitchhiking across Europe for months on just 10 euros a day. The stories are hilarious, humbling, and remind us that joy and growth often come from living simply and saying yes to the unknown.
This episode is a mix of entrepreneurship, adventure, and community building — and it’s full of practical takeaways and entertaining stories that will leave you inspired to lean into life a little more.
We talk about:
- Jian’s upbringing and what shaped his entrepreneurial spirit
- The story behind starting Cold Nips and how it grew into a massive wellness movement
- Why cold water and community go hand-in-hand for mental health
- His hitchhiking adventure across Europe with just €10 a day
- Lessons in simplicity, resilience, and creating impact
