In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman sits down with Erin to explore the often-untold emotional journey of life after yachting. From launching her own hospitality management company to navigating rejection, redefining purpose, and embracing AI in customer service, Erin shares the highs, lows, and everything in between during her first year ashore.
💡 This episode dives into:
🌍 The real impact of leaving yachting — emotionally and socially
🚪 What rejection teaches you when pivoting careers
🧠 Why understanding your strengths beats chasing titles
🛎️ How yacht crew skills translate into five-star hospitality
🤖 AI, customer service, and the future of “human touch”
