Amy Calway: Entrepreneur & Wellness Founder - Building a Career Through Pivots
In this episode of The Guest Speaker, we sit down with entrepreneur and wellness founder Amy Calway - founder of Tiki Beach in Mangawhai - to talk about resilience, entrepreneurship, and why some of the best careers are built through pivots, curiosity and courage.
Amy shares her journey from struggling in school and feeling like a “non-traditional” student, to working in nightlife promotions, alcohol marketing, large-scale events, and eventually founding a wellness destination designed to help people slow down, reconnect and feel better. Today, Amy brings together over 20 years of experience in events, media, marketing and hospitality through Tiki Beach - a wellness experience centred around connection, recovery and nature.
We chat about:
✨ growing up with dyslexia and learning differently
✨ why career paths don’t need to be linear
✨ entrepreneurship, risk-taking and resilience
✨ hearing “no” and learning to fail forward
✨ psychology, marketing and consumer behaviour
✨ wellness, burnout and building healthier lives
✨ surrounding yourself with people who inspire growth
✨ creating opportunities instead of waiting for them
Whether you’re interested in business, events, psychology, wellness, marketing - or simply figuring out what comes next - Amy’s story is a reminder that success doesn’t always follow a script.
