It’s easy to have a basic conversation with someone. About whatever is easiest to talk about at that moment. Sometimes you’ll find that the person you’re speaking to has an incredible story, a secret they’ve never really shared broadly, or just something you’d never heard. Suddenly they’ve spent 20min regaling you with the tale and all you can do is wonder how amazing it was to hear. This show is an endeavour to capture those moments. To bring together a really thoughtful story about a person and show that everyone has an incredible story and one simple question might lead them to it.

Substantial topics to take pause with

Admittedly, this is my brothers podcast, so I come in with complete and utter bias. But overall, I have found a nice escape in my day when I listen to these. They are tough stories at times, but uplifting and thoughtful too. In a busy life, it’s appreciated to look inward for even a short 15-30 min!

Hope you all agree!

A podcast for the individual

In an environment filled with podcasts from and about celebrities, this podcast provides a glimpse into the lives of everyday people. A relatable and real podcast stripped of the ideal instagram lens that allows for a human connection through stories. A reminder that we are all heroes in our own stories.

Loved the first epidsode!

Love the idea, there's inspiration all around us if you look for it. Nice to hear something uplifting when the rest of the world seems so depressing. Worth a subscribe!
