Paul Trammell
Author, Sailor, Podcaster
In this episode of *On The Rise**, Pete sits down with Paul Trammell — author, sailor, surfer, and host of the *Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast. Paul spent years playing music in a reggae band and living the party lifestyle… until alcohol and weed began to take control of his life. At 44 years old, he made the decision to quit drinking — a decision that completely changed the direction of his life. Today, Paul lives on a sailboat in the Caribbean, writes books for a living, surfs, spearfishes, and shares his story to help others find freedom from addiction.
Love, Lies, and a Man in Gray: When Rekindled Romance Turns Unhinged with Author Paul Trammell
Have you ever asked someone how they are doing and they tell you they are “Living the dream”? It’s typically delivered with sarcastic undertones, but it got me thinking about how different my life would be if I took the time to design it with intention, rather than simply going through the motions.
My conversation today is with Paul Trammell. Paul has lived a big life and is truly living his dream with intention. He’s gone through many journeys so far, from a career as a musician to a commitment to sobriety, followed by selling all of his possessions on land to live on a sailboat where he currently travels the world, surfs big waves, and writes novels.
Sound unreal? Well, that’s just the way he likes it. This episode got me all fired up, and I hope that happens for you too, so let’s jump in!
