Today on Take Your Shoes Off, we’re hanging out with a guy whose voice has probably sold you a car, narrated your favorite documentary, or convinced you to trust a brand you’d never heard of.

He’s a voiceover artist, a master communicator, and a storyteller who knows how to make words work. From Hollywood trailers to Scandinavian commercials, he’s been behind the mic for over 9,000 projects—and counting.

So, in a world….where you take your shoes off and get comfortable, let’s kick back, get into the groove, and meet the man behind the mic - Monte Reid.

Welcome to another episode of Take Your Shoes Off - the podcast that's usually released on Thursdays, but this week we're running on American time, which means....it's ready when it's ready, tack så mycket!

Today we're talking to someone who has one foot in Sweden and the other in a San Francisco hospital. Our guest, Courtney El Refai, has only been in Sweden for six months, which means her takes are fresh, her enthusiasm is intact, and Swedish quirks are still charming. She lives here while working as a neonatal nurse...in California. She literally saves babies by day and eats knäckebröd by night.

Enjoy!

Today's episode is about the Long Way Home. About what it means to find a new life in a new place, sometimes even a new name. Most importantly, you will hear about how we cannot get through this life alone.

Hazem came to Sweden the hard way, after fleeing war in Syria. He shares his story with us, his journey to Sweden but also how he has built a life here.

Take your shoes off and join us.
