Description

After my 2012 Thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, my life was changed forever. The challenge of big adventure had me hooked. I soon set a goal of sailing alone and without stopping around the world. In 2017-18, I did just that! Since then I have taken my podcast aboard my Westsail32 as well as in my everyday life. The shows are a mix of my own past experiences along with interviews of everyday people that have a seemingly endless amount of stories themselves. What started as a podcast about sailing has evolved into my way to sit down with people from all walks of life and share our experiences with the listener. I hope you enjoy the podcast and help it grow into the future.
