The Most Extreme, Dangerous, High Tech Sport on the Planet, The Vendée Globe
I know so many sports lovers out there have been struggling through the pandemic with little to no entertainment. Now, being a bit of a geek, I have always liked sports that combine precision, endurance, mental fortitude, and engineering. That is why my personal sport is olympic style archery. Where even fat old men can compete in an olympic sport. I can definitely do fat and old.
But I want to give you a sporting event that may be the most extreme sporting event on the planet. It has strategy, intense physical and psychological challenges, endurance and cutting edge engineering and technology in extreme, life threatening environments. I am talking about the Vendée Globe. This race is like if Mount Everest was 24,000 miles high and there was a marathon to climb it.

But the reality is more challenging. It is a highly regulated and complex industry, it is illegal on the federal level so you are at the mercy of state regulations and an ever changing political environment.

Making money in the business is not as straight forward as you might think.

Making Your Video Conferences Great
So, I have a question for you.
There is a study from 1967 that indicated that 93% of communication is non-verbal. Now there are some caveats to that study, but If up to 93% of Communication is non-verbal, why are you still having low quality voice calls with your customers?
This is one of the reasons that email and text have been such challenging communications mediums. Email is great for memorializing a conversation, but not a great way to have one.
