Summary
Andy Schell. We know him, we love him, he's the founder of this very podcast! And of course the co-founder of 59º North Sailing. In this episode, Emma turns the interview table around on Andy to ask him about this past decade of 59º North Sailing. A lot has changed from the early inspirations of starting the business to where Andy sits now, in Sweden, a parent of a 4-year old, and an employer to a whole staff at 59 North. Then again, not much has changed. Andy is still just as in love with sailing and even more inspired by this company as it grows and evolves.
