183: Kasey's text message changed her life - What Was That Like - a storytelling podcast with amazing stories from real people

True Stories on Player FM

I think accidentally dialing a wrong number is probably the most random way for two human beings to get connected. Even if just for a few seconds.

I mean, think about it. There’s you, and then there’s this other person who you don’t know, and because you dialed a number that was just one digit off, the two of you are now speaking to each other.

Granted, those conversations are usually pretty short. It’s probably not the most effective way to meet new people and make new friends.

But one time, a young man named Henry saw his phone buzz with a text message. The message he saw there was clearly not meant for him. It was from a woman named Kasey, who he didn’t even know. Today you’ll hear what happened after that life-changing text.

Kasey told this story years ago here on the podcast. In today’s Flashback episode, you’ll hear our original conversation, and then an update from Kasey on what’s happened since then. And it’s a lot.
