This Way or That is a podcast born from curiosity and fueled by connection. Join hosts Navid Modiri, a storyteller obsessed with the power of imagination, and Emily Stansbury McLanahan, a seeker of meaning through unexpected conversations, as they dive into unscripted encounters with strangers.
It’s a mix of storytelling, improv, and deep-dive conversations—where dreams unfold, ideas spark, and everyday moments turn into something extraordinary. From talking to strangers and visualizing possibilities to exploring the essence of happiness and the art of human connection, each episode invites you to laugh, reflect, and reimagine your world and the world around you.
Let’s skip the small talk, embrace the unexpected, and dream much bigger—together.
