“Charm is underestimated” - Eric Wiberg

Take a deep dive with us this week on the SHIPSHAPE podcast as we talk to Eric Wiberg, ship captain, maritime historian, lawyer and author of no less than 25 (yes, twenty-five) books. Although, the title ‘adventurer’ will seem much more appropriate once you've heard him out! Bribing pilots to move boat parts, being in charge of 9 ships by the time he was 25, “meeting guys in bars” and near death experiences all contribute to this story playing out rather more like fiction than real life. All the while, wading through the treacherous waters of corruption and accountability in the seafaring realm. Join as he educates us on how far someone can get in the maritime world by ‘winging it’, and just how important he thinks it is to not “be a passenger in life”.<br/>Check out more from Eric at www.ericwiberg.com<br/><br/>Brought to you by SHIPSHAPE<br/><br/>
