E29 Navigating the High Seas of Entrepreneurship with Gemma, The Yacht Stew

In this episode, Laurie chats with the incredible Gemma, infamously known as The Yacht Stew. Gemma shares her journey from working on superyachts, rising through the ranks from day work to Chief Stew, to founding The Yacht Stew Academy and TYS Recruiting.    We talk all about her experiences in the yachting industry, the challenges she faced, and how she navigated the demanding hours, overcoming isolation and the importance of her network. She left feeling burnt out and exhausted and jumped straight into what are now her successful businesses. Gemma also offers invaluable advice for women looking to start new careers or businesses, emphasising the importance of staying authentic, recognising burnout, and building a strong support network.
