Episode Synopsis


If you’ve been waiting to feel ‘ready’ before chasing a dream or making a change, this episode will show you why readiness is built through action—and how to start right where you are.
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.
