  • My new favorite podcast!

    I listen to a lot of podcasts, especially those involving sailing. This one is by far my favorite! Paul’s guests are so diverse and he does a great job of asking insightful questions, as someone who is actually living the lifestyle himself. I always find something that connects with me in every podcast and seeing a new one drop is the highlight of my work week commutes. I’m a supporter on Patreon because, frankly, I pay a lot more money for other media sources that I don’t enjoy nearly as much!
