About this listen
I didn’t have a great relationship with water—unless my feet could touch the ground. So it’s weird that scuba became one of my greatest pursuits. But the turning point was simple: I saw bubbles coming off a reef in Cancun…and I watched three divers move like calm, competent ninjas—graceful, skilled, and led by someone who knew how to take care of others. That moment changed my direction.
In Episode 2, I trace the thread from fear to curiosity, tell the “overinflated life jacket” origin story, and share the learning model scuba gave me—start in standing depth, build capability, then go deeper. Plus one rule that stuck with me: as long as you have air in your lungs, you have time—and if you have time, you can figure it out.
Takeaway: don’t rush deep water. Build skills in standing depth, and let curiosity lead. One breath at a time.
