Jordan Smith is a semi-professional racer and a tallship captain.  Our conversation ranges all over the place, but actually starts with COVID (which might be a first for my interviews, for I think it's only been mentioned in passing before).  We also talk sailing, leadership, tallships and history.  Jordan mentions a historical fiction novel he is working on, so be on the look-out for that in the future!  Lastly, there are definitely some funny parts in the interview such as:  his description of Keywest as the largest open-air insane asylum in the world; the dumbest things tourists have asked us; and the cuban refugees who supposedly made it to the US on a floating monster truck!!

Intro/Ending Music: Many thanks to Riggy Rackin for allowing the use of music from his Nauticas album. The intro and ending themes are the sailor song "A Roving", specifically track 1.  Learn more or order his music at www.riggy.com 

My Children's Books:  "The Greatest Captain in the World" and "The Greatest Captain in the World Too" are available on Amazon or directly from me at...  www.greatestcaptain.com

Intentionally Disturbing

Intentionally Disturbing

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
