Navigating the challenges of parenthood whilst also maintaining an a-typical lifestyle - be that of a sailor, adventurer, or anything that doesn’t involve a 9-5 desk job – has been a consistent theme of this podcast. Now the tables have turned, and Andy Mia and August are raising their two boys, whilst running a business and working as professional sailors. Hoping to a parent myself one day, I took the opportunity to put them on the spot – discuss what has surprised them about parenthood, what they wish they had known before taking the plunge, and what advice they have for anyone else dreaming of a similar future. -- If you liked this conversation you'll LOVE The QUARTERDECK, 59 North's 'deep dives on the art of seamanship.'
