Description

What if you were the captain of a glass bottom boat that takes people on shipwreck tours?What if you became world-famous accidentally after finding something while cleaning the underside of your very own glass bottom boat? It pays to clean, kids! : )Boat Captain Jennifer Dowker was cleaning the underside of her glass bottom boat when something green down below caught her eye. How could she know this discovery would become the story shared 'round the world, even connecting with the family of this find?A real life message in a bottle was found by Dowker, who collects cool stuff when she is doing her Shipwreck Tours in Lake Cheboygan, Michigan. She now has a heckuva cool addition to her collection and the story connected is quite touching. Listen in as Captain Dowker shares this great tale about meeting the daughter of the writer who dropped a note into Lake Cheboygan 95 years ago. Also learn how this single Mom taught herself, along with her three sons, how to create and sustain a business plan and successful "Nautical North Family Adventures" scuba tour company. I learned that Dowker's mantra seemed to be "Just do a little bit more" and she adorably adds; "Geez, go for it".

Lisa David Olson has two decades of writing and performing comedy experience, as well as speaking on how humor saved her life. Be the nosy neighbor and listen in as she interviews people she barely knows, (or hasn't yet met) to hear about their weird life stories or quirky careers. There's a lady who says she can communicate with your dog, a man who used to be a zen monk, and even a guy from Russia who gave himself up for adoption at age 9.Expect a few laughs sprinkled in as guests are invited to share a prank or embarrassing moment too. When your host is a bold and curious beast - anything goes. This podcast is an offshoot of Lisa's project in bravery, called Serious Selfies With Strangers; where a dare for a non-smiling photo with someone she had not yet met always created a moment of laughter, and often forged the way to new friendships that would never have been.Books available; Laughs On Wry; an improvisor's memoir and What If's and Why Nots; a journal full of creative cues to unravel stuck moments.
