I think family (larger clan really) is the actual business, and so everyone in the clan works to earn. whether its infotainment (vlogging, DIY type tutorials, drama), re-investment/partnership with customers, access to markets to ship and vend your own goods, property speculation (ie owning a farm and growing a product that sells well), developing a product, etc.
the real business is building your clan, the sailing cargo ship is just a cultural banner for people who are like you to rally around.
it mollifies people, its cool, its smart, its an endeavor and requires courage, and people rally to courage.
