  • Ep 49 - Darling, Let's Be Adventurers

    Choosing an adventurous life includes deciding where you want to go and how to get there. It's not a well-paved road with solar-powered street lights and giant signs. Every day you make the decision to stick with your plan or adapt. The stakes (and the obstacles) are even higher when it comes to your bigger goals. Join The Knight Show hosts (reposted here) and us as we explore your plan, purpose, pitfalls, personal patterns for goal-getting, and perspectives from people with more experience than you. You'll get sailing stories, relationship stories, stories we've never told about non-sailing adventures, and insights to become a better navigator/leader on a boat and in your life.

  • Ep 48 - Books, Beauty Pageants and Politics

    Which scenario would you find most challenging to do with your spouse?

    a. Raise four kids in New York City

    b. Build a thriving family business from scratch

    c. Renovate a home d. Homeschool

    e. Complete a Law degree and a Master's program

    d. Live and travel in a foreign country with four kids

    Chandler and Tiffany have done all of the above and more. They share how asking, 'What could go right?' has inspired them to stretch and grow as a family, a couple, and as individuals. In 2024, Tiffany stretched beyond her comfort zone to compete in her first beauty pageant. Then Chandler jumped into politics with both feet to run for an open senate seat. Chandler and Tiffany reveal the discipline and devotion required to dream big and support each other. They both share why it's worth it to chase big goals whether or not you win.

  • Ep 46 - What's Your Credibility Score and Why Does it Matter?

    In This Episode:

    What’s your credibility score? Not your credit score – Your credibility score. It is the ratio between what you say you will do and what you actually do. Why does it matter? Your credibility score has a bigger impact on your quality of life than your credit score. A high credibility score doesn’t just earn you the trust and confidence of others; it unlocks a cascade of benefits. People gravitate toward you, eager to collaborate and share resources. Custom made opportunities find their way to your doorstep. But here's the real kicker: the true power of credibility lies within yourself. As Erik says, "The size of your dreams grows in proportion to how much you trust yourself." ‘How big are your dreams?’ is another way of asking, ‘How much do you trust yourself?’ Listen in for how to increase your credibility score.
