430. Interesting People - Merrill Charette

430. Interesting People - Merrill Charette

This week I chat with Merrill Charette a long timer listener to the podcast (and a podcaster himself!) about his upbringing, experiences and how he ended up in the maritime industry.

I really enjoyed chatting with Merrill who is a fascinating character and a great raconteur. In this interview we cover.

  • How he grew up the '6th child' with his other siblings being 5 Old English Sheepdogs!
  • His very sports orientated childhood and his (and his fathers) obsession with Lacrosse
  • The benefits of focus and determination to achieve his potential in lacrosse
  • How he attended 4 high schools in 5 years experiencing bullying at every turn
  • Tough love from his father
  • Why he gave up lacrosse and rebuilt his identity
  • Dealing with authority (when you know they are wrong)
  • The 1000 Origami Crane Challenge and how it changed him
  • Completing a challenging 2,200-mile trek along the Appalachian Trail
  • Quitting law school
  • The difference between moving on and giving up
  • How a random comment from a stranger "You could always live on a boat" led him to the maritime industry
  • How he negotiated for and bought his first boat
  • How he taught himself to sail his first voyage from New York to Boston
  • Finding a new community of boat owners
  • Becoming a boating entrepreneur as an outsider to the industry
  • Artificial intelligence and the maritime industry
