Perhaps the author Hailey Edwards put it best,

“I do believe that sometimes—whether it's fate or accidental – we cross paths with someone who shatters us on a fundamental level and remakes us into a better version of ourselves.”

To commemorate our two hundredth podcast your wingmen decided to give some background about who they are and how they came to be what they are today. The vision of the show was from the mind of Commander Drew Brown who saw a need to present positive sides of life that seem to be missing from all forms of media. Countering the mantra of media outlets who go by the saying, “if it bleeds, it leads”, his vision was to highlight a world where good things happen to good people, because of good people. He recruited the one and only Dr. Paul Thompson, someone who he had known for years and rather surprisingly had quite a few things in common despite only meeting each other in adulthood. In this broadcast we discuss a wide range of commonalities as well as differences that make up our lives.

Some things happen by chance; maybe it’s just fate. This show highlights some of the similarities and differences between the two of us. Serendipity refers to the joyful or fortunate discovery of something valuable or significant that happens unexpectedly. That is one way to describe our motivations and our relationship to our families, the world of aviation and each other.

The goal of the show is to inspire people to be better people and in turn, inspire others to do the same. Whether you are rich and famous or broke and insecure, as human beings we have a common destiny. Let’s make the most of the life we have.
