Malcolm Wood, co-founder of the popular fine-dining brand Mott 32, exemplifies how adventure intertwines with entrepreneurship. Splitting his time between Hong Kong and the French Alps, he embraces extreme sports as a source of clarity and risk management. This active meditation enhances his focus, paralleling the precision required in his business ventures. Raised in various countries due to his family's lifestyle, Wood’s early exposure to diverse cultures and experiences shaped his entrepreneurial spirit, notably through his first business venture in college with Matt Reid, which laid the foundation for their lasting partnership.
These days, the British-Chinese entrepreneur splits his time between Hong Kong, where he co-founded Maximal Concepts, the restaurant group behind Mott 32, and France, where he enjoys extreme sports near his home in the French Alps.
Wood says that adventure and extreme sports have taught him about risk management, demanding an intense level of focus and precision similar to a flow state.
