Ship captain Dave Gugliotti has ADHD — and a love for the ocean. Full of energy, yet calm under pressure, Dave’s strengths help him flourish on open water. As the seasons change, so does his work. Every day is different, with varied activities and constant repairs to keep Dave’s bouncing mind happily engaged.
Dave's never been one to sit still, and he works best with his hands. He tried to sit at a desk for an office job, but he left after a week and never looked back. In this week’s episode of How’d You Get THAT Job?!, we discuss how the sea has called to Dave from a young age, and what you can do to get involved in a sailing career yourself.
Listen in to hear how Dave shaped his daily life to fit his tactile ADHD brain, and other flotsam and jetsam. Hit subscribe for more!
