Today we are talking to friend of the pod Linda Feuerhelm. Born in small-town Alberta, this adventurer knew she was destined to see amazing things. A troubled youth, and a defiant adolescent she seemed to fit in more with the boys and let's be fair, they had cooler toys growing up, that's when she learned to weld. Linda went to school for Broadcasting, she was the first-ever first-year student to interview a major political party leader: Former Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper. As 9/11 unfolded, this soon-to-be mom pivoted from corporate crime-fighter to truck driver and company owner. It was when the economy started crashing in 2007 that Linda found herself telling jokes, which led her to move to British Columbia, Canada, and work for Carnival Cruise lines. It was here this adventurer found a better way to see the world, by boat, with a transportation background, she then pursued her Captains ticket and is still working on bigger and bigger tickets. As a woman in the marine industry that represents 1-2% of the sea based mariner, she set out to make this career more appealing to women as well as more inclusive plus make education more accessible to all mariners. 

I am so proud of this strong amazing women and so happy to have her back on the podcast.

Featuring:

-Our past is our page - from prison to inspiration

-Kindness and compassion goes a long way!

-Making change is hard, but keep going - you got this!
