Listen "Ep 129 - If You're NOT Having Fun..."
Episode Synopsis
Think success has to be hard? What if having more fun could actually be the key to living a more intentional, fulfilled life? Too many of us chase purpose while forgetting joy. In this episode, we guide you—our hero—toward a life where fun fuels productivity, health, and connection. Through stories from sailing, play, and everyday adventures, you’ll discover how to make work, relationships, and goals more enjoyable without losing meaning.
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.
