Episode #66: Dustin Dye on Close Calls on the Water

This week’s host, Ryan Foland, is joined by Dustin Dye to chat all sorts of first experiences at sea. Dustin is the Co-Founder and CEO of Botcopy and is a die-hard fan of being on the water.

Hear how sailing on lakes differs from sailing on oceans, how to become more confident as a sailor, be honest with yourself, learn to tie different knots, and some literal good jibes.

This episode covers everything from stress to fun on the water. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:

• Where did Dustin learn to sail?
• What kind of boats did he start on?
• Why does he enjoy sailing?
• If he had a boat, what kind of boat would it be?
• How was his racing experience with Ryan?
• Is Dustin more of a racer or a cruiser?
• What knots can he tie?
• How did the close calls inspire him?
