Greetings Sailors!
This episode is a great one for all sailors or adventurers who insert themselves into precarious situations that can turn deadly any second. The sea is out to kill you. Try not to Die!
We are chatting with former guest, friend of the podcast, Sailor extraordinaire, YouTube Star, and now author, John Shafer! Be safer with Shafer and take the opportunity to listen all about his new book “Safety is Second.’
He talks about how building a great team and leadership and teamwork through communication and processes, starting with Risk Assessment through to planning and execution, all while making it look good.
He is a Sailing and Risk professional, having spent many years in war zones across the world, assessing the risks and having a plan for every situation. Now with his organization The Ministry of Sailing, he is bringing this expertise to the fore and sharing it with all of you sailors, racers and cruisers alike.
If you want to hear more make sure to catch John on the Bar Karate Podcast!
