Drawing on marathon training philosophy, solo circumnavigation stories, and his own mid-Atlantic spiritual awakening, this seminar reframes ocean sailing as an emotional journey with predictable stages \u2014 and teaches you how to navigate each one. This episode was originally recorded as a live seminar back in 2014, before 59\u00ba North was even a thing.
