  • Lynn Forney Is The Only One Who Was Stabbed Seven Times by a Stranger Episode 162

    Imagine waking up to find a stranger in your bed stabbing you repeatedly.

    Dancer, choreographer, actor, director, and writer, Lynn Forney was home from college when a stranger broke into her mother’s house and stabbed her seven times, while telling her, “Don’t worry, I’m a friend of your mothers.”

    But what would you do if after you’d been hospitalized for sixteen days, it seemed like the police were suspicious, insinuating that there was some way you could have done this to yourself? Would you doubt your sanity and go along with their gaslighting? Or would you realize that the whole department was corrupt because they didn’t want the reputation of their “safe” city to suffer?

  • Saket Soni Is The Only One Who Freed 500 Indian Workers From Human Trafficking Episode 161

    What if a call in the middle of the night from a stranger changed your life forever?

    Author, activist, and founder and director of Resilience Force, Saket Soni, was in New Orleans working as a community organizer, when he got a call from an Indian man who was being held in a labor camp.

    So what would you do if you agreed to meet this man, but when you arrived it wasn’t one man, it was ONE HUNDRED men? Would you turn around, daunted by the idea of helping that many people? Or would stay and eventually lead 500 men to freedom?

  • TEAM PICK: Clint Schaff Is The Only Dad Talking About IVF

    Imagine you and your wife were trying to get pregnant and doctors told you that because you were both of a “certain age” that IVF was your best option.

    Clint Schaff, award-winning producer of audio, television, film, and live-event projects, took a cue from his wife and started posting about their fertility journey early on, in an effort to create a supportive community.

    But what would you do if there were a double standard, if hopeful mothers were showered with help and resources but hopeful dads were only expected to be pillars of strength for their partners? Would you go along and accept role impressed upon you by society? Or would you make it a point to talk to other men about what it's really like to be an IVF dad?
