The Departure Gate

The Departure Gate

If you’ve ever stood at the edge of a big decision, passport in hand or just in your mind, and wondered whether the fear means stop or go, this episode is for you. Host Carey Grant opens the show with his own story. Jamaica to the United States, leaving behind the woman he loved, building a career, holding a relationship together across four years and a time zone. Then the bigger leap, asking his wife to set down her career and move their family to India. He talks about the three fears that kept him up at night. The school gate moment days after landing that changed everything. And what he would say to the version of himself standing at that departure gate for the very first time. Honest. Unhurried. No highlight reel. This is where Roots & Routes begins.
