## Resource

In 1982, American sailor Steven Callahan survived 76 days alone in the Atlantic Ocean after his sailboat sank in the middle of the night. In this episode of the Align Podcast, he joins Aaron to share his mind-blowing story. From catching fish and collecting drinking water to managing fear, loneliness, and physical pain, Steven reflects on the mental and spiritual lessons that emerged during one of the most well-known survival stories ever recorded. He also explores resilience, human adaptability, and what life at sea taught him about purpose, suffering, and connection to the natural world. ALIGN PODCAST EPISODE #595 ========== OUR GUEST ========== Best selling author, marine adventurer, artist, and consultant to Oscar-winning directors, Steven Callahan has built his fifty-year career in the maritime and communications businesses on a rare blend of hands-on, real-world experience, technical know-how, philosophy, and the creative arts. Callahan considers the sea the world’s greatest wilderness. He often wrote about adventuresome shorthanded offshore sailing events for maritime audiences, but by exploring the universal human issues and emotions that are amplified at sea and through the stress of survival, Callahan’s creative work has been able to span both dedicated marine and general audiences. Adrift, Seventy-Six Days Lost at Sea (Houghton Mifflin) chronicles his 2,000-mile (1,800 nautical mile) survival drift across the Atlantic in a six-foot diameter inflated raft in 1982. ================ STEVEN CALLAHAN ================ 🌐 WEBSITE ▶ http://www.stevencallahan.net/ ================= AARON ALEXANDER ================= 📸 IG ▶ https://www.instagram.com/aaronalexander/ 🤳 TIKTOK ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@alignmethod 👉 SUBSCRIBE ▶ https://www.youtube.com/@AlignPodcast?sub_con…
