About the show
Honest stories from people still rewriting their own.
Updraft is a conversation with people who were knocked off course, felt lost, or woke up one day as a passenger in their own life, and found their way back to the controls. Every other week, Alan Verbeke sits down with a guest to talk about the wall they hit and how it became the thing that lifted them.
No highlight reels. No perfect endings. Just honest stories from people still rewriting their own.
Why “Updraft”
The obstacle creates the lift.
An updraft forms when wind hits something solid, like a cliff or a ridge, and is forced upward. The obstacle creates the lift.
And inside the word is another one: draft. A rough version, still being rewritten. Every guest, every listener and every host is a draft, getting better. You don’t have to have it figured out to belong here.
Every episode ends the same way
“What was the wall that lifted you?”
“Tell me about the last time you felt like a passenger. What did you do?”
