Ep 150 From Sailing Adventure to Sales Success: How One Year at Sea Changed Everything
What happens when a sailing adventure turns into something much bigger than a vacation? In this episode, we share how adventure author, Erik Orton, went from sailing for beginners—living on a sailboat for a year with his family—to building the confidence to start over in a completely new career. What began as a leap into unknown sailing trips came with real fear: what if no one would hire him when he got back? Instead, that experience became the foundation for resilience, persistence, and ultimately sales success and entrepreneurship. If you’ve ever considered your first sailing trip, a midlife change, or trying something new, this story will show you what’s possible when you’re willing to be uncomfortable.
