About this episode

Cole Brauer is the first American woman to race solo, nonstop around the world, and the author of First Light: Sailing Solo but Not Alone. We discuss the Dragon Time mindset, breaking into the walled garden of alpha males, 130 days alone at sea, choosing her boat over the win at Cape Horn, and why coming home was harder than the ocean. Along the way, she teaches me what a ring around the sun means. Cole is a badass wise beyond her years. And our conversation is cinematic. Enjoy!
