Brendan, tell us about Nordic Oasis and why you and Barry started it. Nordic Oasis offers steam, sauna (both infrared and traditional) and cold plunge services at our location at 201 Pleasant St. Our mission is to provide a refreshing and rejuvenating experience while creating a club vibe where everyone in the community feels welcome. We also offer monthly memberships and club rentals for private events. Barry and I started the business to spread awareness of the physical and mental benefits of hot and cold therapy — something humans have been doing for more than 1,000 years.
What is the best piece of business advice you’ve ever received? The best piece of advice I’ve received is, “Stay determined.” Every day you will encounter issues and problems, be patient and push through them.
What is your favorite spot in Marblehead, and why? My favorite spot in town is Marblehead Neck. It’s beautiful and unique.
What is something people would be surprised to learn about you? Most people may be surprised to know that I lived in Asia for three years — mostly in Seoul.
