Ever wondered how the entrepreneurial mindset intersects with the preservation of history? You'll uncover this fascinating connection through the eyes of Dayne Rugh, a dedicated museum curator and director with a profound love for early American history. Growing up in Groton, Connecticut, Dayne's journey from an academic background in American Studies and Museum Studies to becoming the director of the Slater Memorial Museum is nothing short of inspiring. Dane shares how an internship at Mystic Seaport Museum crystallized his career path and how his entrepreneurial family subtly shaped his professional choices. This episode is a masterclass in blending historical knowledge with an entrepreneurial spirit.

Set sail with us as we explore the rich maritime history, focusing on the iconic Charles W Morgan, the last wooden whaling ship from the 19th century. You'll learn about its remarkable restoration and why training vessels like the Joseph Conrad and the Mercator continue to be significant. Our Dayne even shares a personal connection to maritime history, including their current work on a biography of an everyday American colonel from the Revolutionary War. The colonel's story offers deep insights into how ordinary people have shaped history, and you'll find timeless parallels between their experiences and our own.

Legacy and purpose take center stage as we discuss the profound impact of guiding students to recognize their potential contributions to history. Dane offers personal anecdotes and real-life examples to highlight how everyday actions can influence the future. We also delve into the world of self-publishing, providing valuable tips for aspiring authors who wish to bring niche historical figures to life.
