Your Fellow Human

Have you ever felt experienced something that made you change your entire trajectory of how you live?

Today I want to introduce you to Matt, or Crispy as he is affectionately known, Crispy is one that I believe is rich beyond what many of us will ever know. He is one that lives life fully as who he is, takes care of who that person is meant to be, finds joy in absolutely everting, and treats others with kindness and care in a way that allows them to be their best selves around him 

I had the pleasure of meeting Crispy during my time in Australia as he came on as our skipper, a skipper for anyone who doesn’t know is the one who not only sails and mans the ship, but also the one who holds responsibility for all on board. This is no small task  and one that he carries out with a smile and holds your trust with integrity 

We chat about what it’s like being an adventurer, sailing the seas, free diving, FPV flying, and what it is to be a free spirit to him. He shares the fear of being stuck physically and not being able to live or experience life as fully.

He shares what it’s like working in “natures TV,” how he near had a panic attack his first time flying FPV, and how he’s toying between sugar daddy and broke sailor pirate.

He is one that values friendship, connection, and sharing experiences that cause us to see ourselves and others in a joyous light. Crispy has worked with those that have spent their last few dollars backpacking around the world and those that call super yachts their pastime, but in something that speaks so genuinely to who he is, as he shared story after story with us, the reality that how he treats each one of those people remains the same. 

Crispy is one that sees someone for what they need, what they will appreciate, and in a way reads others so genuine, I believe it is a talent of sincerity that allows someone to know how much of oneself others deserve to know while still holding them in a place of care; Crispy does this so well, and it was an honor to get to know who he truly is

So tune in today and meet Crispy, a self proclaimed Australian pirate, a man full of joy and wisdom, and someone who’s stories I hope make others smile and appreciate who he is as much as they have for me.

And to you Crispy thank you, thank you for joining our crew last minute, for being the life of the party and valuing life so deeply, thank you for the honor of letting us all see the best of you, and the beaming ray of light that you are. Chicken and Squid are lucky to have you, and we are all so lucky to have shared time with you. See you soon friend.
