Good Jibes #194: Sarah Kraft on Entrepreneurship and Sailing

This week we chat with Sarah Kraft about juggling sailing with running a business. Sarah is a Hobie 16 world champion and WASZP sailor who’s the co-founder and CEO of Koil, the AI Reddit for Teens.

Tune in as Sarah talks with host Ryan Foland about the one-of-a-kind experience you get foiling a WASZP, the parallels between entrepreneurship and sailing, how to navigate imposter syndrome on and off the water, why we need more women mentors in the sailing and entrepreneurship worlds, and the reality of pro sailing.

Here’s a sample of what you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Beware the WASZP!
  • How does Sarah approach learning off-boat?
  • Finding mentors who are good models of who you want to become
  • A slight behind-the-scenes of the politics of pro sailing
  • What kind of sailboat Sarah’s business would be
