Summary
#100 is Paul Exner & I on the road talking business. It occurred to me shortly after releasing Paul's first interview with Victor Hempel that a lot of my listeners might not know who the hell this Paul Exner guy was.
So we re-hash some of Paul's sailing experience, focusing on his technical knowledge of the sport. Ultimately though we ended up talking more about the new business than anything else. This is a very honest episode - we talk about the conflict of using the podcast as an advertising platform, how to price offshore passage trips, what it's like emotionally starting your own business and lots more.

| 0:40.3 | and I am on the train on the way to New York City. |
| 0:44.3 | I'll admit that I intended to do something special for this milestone. |
| 0:49.3 | We're at the 100th episode today, believe it or not, but stuff happens and I never got around to recording what I wanted to, so you have to wait for that. |
