154: Dave Erb hunts lighthouses and gets some unique connections at work [podcast]

Dave Erb became interested in hunting lighthouses through his passion for boating. Living in Maine has given him so many opportunities to explore areas that are harder to get to, especially by land. It's been nice time to share with his family, researching lighthouses and finding them while they're out on the water, which gives everyone such a different perspective. One of his favorite lighthouses is on Halfway Rock in Maine, which is only accessible by helicopter. In this episode, Dave and I talk about how it's much easier to start a conversation about interests outside of work that can lead to a conversation about work, but it's nearly impossible to go the other way. Living in Maine, it was natural for him to talk about his passion for boating but it took people asking him, "so what do you do on a boat all day?" for him to open up about his fascination in lighthouses. BerryDunn encourages sharing outside of work experiences at the start of meetings because, "I think we work better together because of the strength we build from sharing our passions."
