Jennifer Dalton was a colleague of mine until she resigned from her position to set sail around North and South America to conduct research. From their website, oneislandoneocean.com:

The Around the Americas Expedition is a 14-month voyage, starting in May 2025, that will circumnavigate North and South America aboard the 48-foot sailboat, One Ocean.

The mission focuses on scientific research, education, and community outreach to raise awareness about ocean health. Building on Captain Mark Schrader’s original 2009–2010 journey, the expedition will compare oceanic changes over the past 15 years.

This podcast was fun to record with Jennifer, and I am so thankful that she trusted me to publish part of her amazing life story. If you can glean anything from this episode, I hope it's that you pause and reflect today on the direction your life is going.

Enjoy your week, be of use, and go do something hard.
