“Listening to Boat, Brain, and Beyond made me realize that leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about staying calm when everything is uncertain. The sailing stories make the lessons stick in a way that’s real, not theoretical. I’ve started thinking differently about how I show up for my team at work—and myself.”
