Ep 111 - What if it's Better Than You Imagined?
You thought you'd be more prepared by now—but midlife still feels unfamiliar, like you’ve arrived at a new threshold you didn’t see coming. In this episode of What Could Go Right?, we explore what it means to say yes to that call to adventure—the one that asks you to leave behind what’s comfortable and step into something unknown. Whether you're the h ero chasing a dream, the guide offering wisdom, or the bridge connecting the two, you’re part of a much bigger story. If you’re standing at the edge of something new, this conversation will remind you: you don’t need a map—just the courage to begin.
Welcome to the What Could Go Right? Podcast. We’re your hosts: Erik Orton and Emily Orton. We talk about personal growth and sailing. In 2014, with little experience and less money, we bootstrapped a year on a sailboat with our five kids and it changed our lives forever. We tell the whole story in our book Seven at Sea. On this podcast, we want to help you go from fear to freedom one adventure at a time.
