This dynamic travel duo also share their secrets so listeners can travel like locals.


Jesse is a retired military and current airline pilot. Sharon, an author, educator, and artist, held down the homefront during his military career, but now she's determined to explore the world one standby flight at a time.

    On what would have been his sixteenth birthday Jesse and Sharon reflect on the loss of their son during birth on his due date.

    They talk about how their marriage survived multiple heartbreaking losses and how grieving differently as a man and a woman both threatened to tear them apart and allowed them to continue to function as a family.

    Jesse felt his emotions, there were tears and good memories - it was a special time to remember Joshua on his birthday.

    Sharon and Jesse do their first podcast from the road - literally they podcast as they walk down the road in their neighborhood on one of their exercise and coffee outings where they finally figure out their marriage by coming up with 3 guidelines and a magical 4th to guide their interactions.

    They also explore how they should feel about cussing on the podcast, the movie Princess Bride, ADHD, navigating their finances and future goals, and finally a flag to wave in support of each other.
