107. Holly Buresh: the Importance of ‘I Don’t Know’, 1000 Days at Sea, and Becoming Captain Mermaid

Captain Mermaid Professor Holly is how Holly Buresh’s niece very aptly describes what her aunt does. A graduate of Eckerd College, Wilderness 1st Responder, 200T Captains license holder, and marine science teacher, Holly certainly has charted her own path in life. Her journey takes us from the American midwest down to Florida over to the Bahamas, and out on the high seas where the closest other person was in the international space station. In today’s episode, Holly shares her winding path, how bonefish in the Bahamas affect people in Nebraska, and the importance of saying “I don’t know.” She also has a great ask at the end, so be sure to stay tuned for that.
