01Who is Syd Meyer

I don't follow a blueprint.I build one.

Syd Meyer is a filmmaker, sponsored kiteboarder and the founder of SSS Lighthouse Creative, a video agency. She walked away from a top business school, moved across the country with no job, no income and a camera, and couch-hopped for a year and a half to fund the business. She documents all of it, in public, while it is still happening.

The whole story

02SSS Lighthouse Creative

It started witha lighthouse.

My dad built one by hand in our backyard. Years later I named my agency after it: creative storytelling for people and brands with something worth amplifying.

03Side Quests

I'll love this sportto the end of the earth.


Kiteboarding opened my eyes to what we're capable of in this life. Grounding yourself with Mother Nature and learning to communicate with the wind is one of the most special things I've ever done.

Travel, kiteboarding, surfing in a knee brace, Wind Bound, and a journal of every place that changed something.

My podcast and community for ambitious 18 to 26 year olds who can't shake the dream. I'm not your guru. I'm the proof.

My take on the show

05Beacon Engine

The ideas were neverthe problem.

Having nowhere to put them was. Beacon Engine is the system I built to put ideas to work. It runs my content and my clients' content on the same rails.
