Bob & Jody Bitchin' // From Bikers to Sailors

Bob and his wife Jody spent most of their life as live-aboards and at sea. Their marital dynamic and life long friendship is infectious. Bob dives into his younger years as a Hells Angel, his entrepreneurial mindset, and how sailing literally saved his life. Bob has owned and operated more businesses than he can barely count, and has written and self-published eleven books on the side. We discuss some of the darker times in Bob's life, and how attitude towards adventure has been his most valuable asset. Jody shares some insight about her fears in taking off to sea with Bob and how she gained confidence. She highlights how their differences have complimented one another over the years and also discusses how their mindset on adventure and life helped them navigate the loss of their entire home in a 2020 wildfire.
