Consuming Careers

On Consuming Careers, we explore the careers of people from many walks of life, all of whom have taken rather unique paths, and we're digging into where they find purpose, what fuels their passion, and how they've persevered in the face of profound opposition. And to keep things real, each interview is recorded live over food or drink in a restaurant, pub, café, around a firepit, or even on a boat in the middle of a lake. Work and food: you just can’t have one without the other!

Our hope is that you’ll find this podcast inspiring, entertaining, and that you’ll find some valuable principles that you can apply in your career. From missionaries to moguls, and carnitas to Cabernet - we hope you'll join our next episode of Consuming Careers!

February 05, 2024 • Bruce Smith • Episode 15

Have you ever thought of trading in your career to pursue a lifetime dream? I’m sure we all have at one time or another. On this weeks’ episode of Consuming Careers we’re sitting down with Chris Schramm who, along with his wife Renee, traded in his lucrative career and comfortable suburban lifestyle for a 52 foot yacht, and has been sailing the world for the past 3 years. Do you have a vision for a different career path or lifestyle shift? Could you be persuaded to make that trade… to burn the ships? Join my conversation with Chris and find out.
