Woody bought a round-the-world itinerary and trained for four months before stepping on a boat. They both ended up sailing around the world. </p><p>Also: why in Brighton, you&#39;re never more than twenty feet from a juggler, what a five-year-old building a sandcastle could teach Seth Godin, why having an escape route gives you the courage to escape.</p><p>Cockpit Sessions is the series in which Woody and Irenka work through the book behind their eight-year sailing circumnavigation, one conversation at a time.</p><p>---</p><p>💙 SUPPORT OUR CHANNELS:</p><p><br></p><p>A big THANK-YOU to our MOTHERSHIP PATREON family who make these videos possible.
