In episode 157, you meet Alexandra Anagnostis-Irons, Founder and Owner of Total Marine Solutions, Inc. We talk about the cruise industry where Alex has spent most of her work life and which is suffering so much now during the pandemic. 

Alex is a hardworking businesswoman with an extensive network in the maritime industry. She is on many maritime associations, where she enjoys meeting new people and exchanging ideas to develop the maritime sector. 

We speak about attracting the next generation's interest in our industry, and Alex is convinced that we need to start early. If not even to younger people, reaching out to the high schools is the only way forward.

Total Marine Solutions Inc. celebrated its 20th-anniversary last year. A lot of hard work has made them successful, and their commitment to customer service helped them achieve that. I wish Alex and her team all the best!
