Owen Gayler: Living Life & Selling Out
About this episode
Captain Owen Gayler shares his journey after a stage four cancer diagnosis, discussing the challenges and changes in perspective it brought to his life.
In this podcast we sit down with Captain Owen Gayler less than a year after his stage four cancer diagnosis to talk through what that journey has actually looked like. We cover the moment he got the call, the reality of treatment, and the physical, mental, and emotional challenges that came with it. We also talk about how the experience has changed the way he sees his life, his family, and his time on the water. The conversation moves through identity, ego, faith, and what it looks like to have everything stripped away and rebuilt. This isn’t a polished or overly structured interview—it’s an honest look at a difficult season and the perspective that’s come from it.
