Key Focus Areas

1. Dreams need a long runway: The ocean crossing started almost a decade earlier with tiny sailboats, Craigslist connections, and co‑owning The Smooch. Big adventures grow from small, consistent steps.
2. Share your dreams out loud: He met the captain of Gizmo while road tripping and surfing in Mexico. Saying “I want to sail across an ocean” made it possible for someone to invite him.
3. Curiosity over fear: The open ocean felt “scary, unforgiving, cold,” but curiosity won. Facing that fear led to “an opportunity of a lifetime.”
4. The universe responds to aligned action: His own takeaway:

   1. Always have a dream
   2. Spread it
   3. Take tiny actions, and reality moves closer to the dream.
