Tracy Edwards didn’t just skipper a boat — she led a revolution. In this episode, we sit down with the legendary sailor who defied expectations and made history with Maiden, the first all-female crew to compete in the Whitbread Round the World Race. Tracy opens up about the sexism she faced, the leadership lessons learned at sea, and how Maiden became a global symbol for women’s empowerment. We also dive into her ongoing mission to support girls’ education through The Maiden Factor. Whether you’re into sailing, sports, or stories of bold women breaking barriers, this conversation will leave you inspired.
