Episode Description

In 2001, Donna Martino stuck a photo on her fridge. It was a picture from the newspaper of a handsome kayaker paddling through the surf.

A few months later, Donna matched with the man on a dating website. The rest is history.

We tend to assume that fairytale beginnings are a recipe for disaster. But sometimes, the world serves up a dose of schmaltz.

This story, by Out There production intern Aja Simpson, is about what happens when coincidences pile up, and strangers take a chance on each other.

Somewhere Out There Podcast Somewhere Out There Podcast Welcome to the best day of our lives where we talk about everything that is on our minds. HOPEFULLY, somewhere, out there, you're having the best day of you life as well. Explicit The Indispensable Conversation James M. Kerr Most podcasts out there today do little more than provide a platform for somebody to promote their latest book. As a person who has been interviewed hundreds of times on these kinds of programs, I know how they work – contrived and pre-planned. In fact, you will likely hear the same messages nearly every time an expert is interviewed.The Indispensable Conversation is different.We host authentic conversations about real topics that impact leaders of all kinds. There are no read ahead questions, no retakes, no BS.Just one guest, one provocative question, one indispensable conversation. Explicit Cycling Hokkaido Martin Langford There are so many amazing things to see out there. What better way to see them than on a bicycle? Come along with me and let's see what we can find.
