Beau, Brandy, and their salty dog Oona, are a couple that decided to leave their jobs in Florida, buy a boat, repair that boat, and sail around the Caribbean. - which they have been doing for the last 2 years.

They both knew this was a dream that they really wanted to will into existence, and after a lot of hard work (along with a lot of learning and boat fixing), they eventually set sail, with Oona on board.

Beau and Brandy are living the dream. They are seeing amazing places, exploring islands and cultures, meeting incredible people, and shedding many of the anxieties and realities of the mainland. Week after week, they create and publish amazing content on their YouTube channel - giving us a glimpse of what their daily activities are in an honest and entertaining way.

However, unlike what some people may think about what life on a boat is like, the reality, for the most part, is very different. There are lots of logistics to stay on top of, boat maintenance, safety issues, navigation, food rationings, staying clear of storms, etc.. What I'm saying is, even the fantasy life of living on a boat includes work, probably more work than the average 9-5.

Beau, Brandy, and I discussed how they manage their relationship in small quarters, how Oona adapted to boat life, traveling by boat, seeing the world from a new perspective, living an alternative lifestyle, learning as you go, and a harrowing story of a boat that approached them at night.

I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation, Beau & Brandy have a great energy that they bring with them to every interaction - you guys will love this episode!

My Take: Whatever dream you have, just realize that when you arrive there, it's not going to be you putting your feet up for the rest of your life. The work it takes to achieve the goal is half the fun. Thinking that by leaving your 9-5, and pursuing an alternate reality, you will resolve yourself of hard work - is a fictitious notion. The satisfaction lies in the achievement of your dream through hard work. No easy goal was ever achieved with a feeling of fulfillment - the fulfillment is within the hard work!
