    Yachting Giving Back and Real Impact in Ghana | Rich AF

    Yachting has no shortage of money, but far fewer examples of it being used to create something tangible outside the industry. In this episode of Rich AF, Charl Minnaar (The Yachting Investor) sits down with Thomas Hearn, Co-Founder and Chairman of Home Ghana, to talk through how a short volunteer trip turned into building schools, supporting education, and creating long-term opportunities in Ghana. What makes this conversation worth attention is the execution. There was no large organisation behind it, no external structure doing the heavy lifting. They stayed, used what they had, and gradually built something that now continues to grow with support from within the yachting network, particularly yacht crew. The discussion also touches on trust and transparency in charitable work, and why Home Ghana has structured itself to ensure people can clearly see where funding goes and how it is used. From there, the focus moves to the vocational skill centre they are developing, designed to provide practical, income-generating skills and create a path toward long-term independence rather than short-term support. 🔹 In this episode: • How Home Ghana started and why they stayed • The role of the yachting network in its growth • Where traditional charity models lose trust • The structure behind their transparency model • The development of the vocational skill centre • How individuals can get involved or support 🎥 From the Palm Beach International Boat Show, with 365 Yachts and Yacht Crew Center. 👤 Host: Charl Minnaar (The Yachting Investor) 👤 Guest: Thomas Hearn | Home Ghana 🌐 https://www.homeghananpo.com/📺 Prefer to read?

    Yacht Crew Safety, Leadership Failures & 1600 Reported Incidents | The Crew Car

    There are parts of the yachting industry that are still being handled quietly, often left unspoken or dealt with behind closed doors. This conversation brings them forward. In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey, Founder of the Yacht Workers Council, is joined by Cherise Reedman, Founder of Yacht Pearls of Wisdom and host of Superyacht Laundry, to examine the reality of crew safety, leadership accountability, and the structures that exist onboard today. This is not speculation. It is grounded in data. More than 900 women have contributed to the Female Yacht Crew Safety Survey, resulting in over 1,600 reported incidents across the yachting industry. What becomes clear is not only the scale of the issue, but the inconsistency in how incidents are handled once they are reported. The discussion moves beyond individual cases and into the broader environment onboard, looking at how leadership, training, and culture directly impact safety, retention, and the long-term sustainability of the industry. This episode addresses: • Crew safety and reporting realities in yachting • Leadership responsibility and accountability onboard • The gap in training and support for crew • Toxic onboard environments and retention challenges • Why reporting does not always lead to action • The role of captains in setting standards and culture Take the survey here: https://survey.medusaproject.co.uk/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnK1X9Szgvp3SNJn-f2SSOWcVkLRrSkLekXTaJrGPnY6yq01-AUxiIo1Lu8Us_aem_a5km-O6lcS7ZlEcGF7933Q📺 Prefer to read?

    Self Care: Outgrowing Your Old Self | Identity, Change & Personal Growth

    Growth does not always feel empowering. Sometimes, it feels like losing the version of yourself that once made sense. In this episode of Self Care, host Geraldine Hardy explores what happens when you evolve beyond your old identity and why going back is not an option. Reflecting on her journey while writing and reshaping her book, Geraldine shares how personal growth can create distance between who you were and who you are becoming. The same conversations, environments, and relationships begin to feel different, and the pull to return to what is familiar becomes stronger. But familiar is not always aligned. This episode challenges that instinct and asks a more important question. Are you willing to move forward, even when it feels uncertain? Geraldine breaks down the importance of self-respect, the role of external validation in keeping people stuck, and why embracing both the light and dark sides of yourself is essential for real change. This is not about perfection. It is about being honest enough to accept that you are no longer who you were, and strong enough not to shrink back into it. Because growth demands movement. And the moment you start choosing yourself differently, everything else either rises with you or falls away. 🌿 Explore more from Geraldine: https://geraldinehardy.com📺 Prefer to read?
