Do you have a startup company that you are trying to grow, but find yourself stretched for time while trying to navigate a profitable business, and have a happy and healthy personal life? Many would say that we can’t always get what we want, but what if you could pursue a life that is healthy AND profitable? My guest for this episode is Adrian Walker, and he is someone uniquely qualified to offer insights in achieving both. Adrian is the co-founder and CEO of Boataffair, and he tackles what it means to have a global impact by expanding our thinking beyond the local and linear framework. Adrian will also share some common mistakes and myths that people encounter as a business owner, and strategies you can use, starting today.
In today’s blog, we speak to one of the most lauded luxury interior designers in London, Katharine Pooley about her love of travelling and what to consider when designing the interior of your boat.
“If you’re open, you’re creative, you wanna go out there and build something, things will happen that you don’t anticipate and doors will open.” – Adrian Walker
At Boataffair, we love to share inspiring stories. This one is a story of a young couple who quit their job and ended up sailing the globe. It all started with a Tinder date in 2015. The rest is history. They both sold all of their stuff, bought a sailing boat and decided to go cruising the seas. Together with them we explore the question of ‘What would your life look like if you did what you really loved’. Or in other words: It is ok to answer, ‘I don’t know’ when asked ‘where do you want to go?’.
In two previous blog posts, I have written about one of the special experiences Boataffair created for our client. We talked about how it came about, what we did and what adventure looked like. Now, its time to tell you about the client and her programme. I have interviewed Antonina on the nitty gritty - its a short but fun read. So, take a look, how transformational journeys work.
Back in March, I wrote a blog about the very unique experience we have been putting together for one of our UK based clients. This was a sailing retreat in Greece and I was lucky to have been invited by my client to join! She told me she wants to run these types of retreats more regularly and therefore it will be of great help if I can take part in the first one so that I can help her design others. This made sense, so after an initial inner struggle about the amount of work I would face when I am back in the office, I set off for Athens

The morning of the 8th of November 2017 I hopped on a train for Zurich and when I got home that evening I was working for Boataffair already. The meeting allowed me to meet and get to know in person the two Co-Founders, husband and wife Adrian and Natalya. We had an amazing couple of hours where they introduced me to the Boataffair model. Then, we discussed what my role would be and they were very open about this. One of my highlights so far? There are many but if I had to choose one I would definitely mention my trip with Adrian to Dusseldorf for one of the biggest Boat Shows ever.
