Listen "Ep 58 - Declare Your Independence"
Episode Synopsis
Listen if you want more freedom. In the Orton home, independence is a family value. Like you, we aspire to more independence in all areas of life. Erik and I literally named our son Independence.
(Try writing that in first grade.) Like many people, we've felt stuck. Then, like fireworks on a summer evening, someone shares a story that sparks new possibilities and it feels like freedom. In this episode, we tell our freedom stories to share the spark so you can declare your independence.
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.
