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.
