Sail Loot Podcast 020: Leah Kruger Makes Her Sailing Money With Brio

By on April 2, 2015

Leah Kruger has been sailing since before she can remember cartoons of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. She was a little bit older when her family set sail to circumnavigate. It was certainly a much longer trip to Disney Land than Leah had imagined.

While they were sailing around the world, Leah couldn’t quite understand why everyone else felt the need to go to a job for the majority of the day. Why wasn’t it normal to be floating around and traveling to far off destinations with a family of four for 5 years?

Leah left the Polly Pockets on Synchronicity, but took the entrepreneurial spirit that she netted while reading Rich Dad Poor Dad with her. She saved some money while living with her parents in Vancouver, opened a house painting business of her own, and bought a boat. But then she decided that she wanted to be able to work from anywhere in the world. She learned to build websites, develop e-learning courses, and…well…you’ll just have to take a listen!

About Teddy

I am a 37 year old that just wants to find a way to make a remote income, gather some Sail Loot and cruise the world! I have been sailing for a couple of years now, but mostly on 10 day trips as vacationing crew. I just recently took sailing to the next level by completing my Basic Keelboat, Basic Cruising, and Bareboat Cruising Certifications! I am also Vice President of a Medical Consulting Company, have a Mechanical Engineering degree from Georgia Tech, and have taken several Coding, Computing, and Online Business courses. It's time to share what I have learned!
