'Saved' is really what happens when the tunnel finally widens and a hand reaches through the dark and grabs you.”
With his own life as a reference, Benjamin will explore a new theme: saved. Over the next few episodes, he will sit down with people who were pulled out from captivity and brought home, as well as the people who risk their lives to save people in these circumstances.
Benjamin will discuss life after being saved, how to cope with the memories, and create a path forward. He also reflects on his own journey of being saved and offers the encouragement that no matter what someone is experiencing, they will get stronger every day.

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself
What if you woke up and lost 20 years of memories, and had no recollection of your husband and child? In 1991, that nightmare became a reality for Anne Howell.
Author of All That I Forget Anne Howell retells the journey of rebuilding her life after being diagnosed with retrograde amnesia at 30 years old and waking up in the hospital with the belief that she was 9 years old again.
Anne details the moments where she had to rely on the stories from her loved ones to help piece together her forgotten life. Metaphorically, she woke up with ingredients to a recipe she couldn't remember and instead of giving up, she discovered a new taste for something just as sweet.

A Journey of Metamorphosis
Host of The Connectors Podcast Quinten Sheriff was raised in a sheltered environment in Zimbabwe. At a young age, he was given parameters for how and who he should be, until one day he decided he was ready to take ownership of his life and run away with his partner to live in his truth as a gay man in Southern Africa.
What Quinten believed to be a desire to escape was ultimately a commitment to expand and not be held captive to a life he did not want to live. Quinten's journey of personal liberation has inspired him to encourage people to embrace their authenticity.
