Our Millennial Conversation

Our Millenia Conversation brings together the stories of two friends who first met in the heart of Orlando’s theme park scene. After a year of exploring the magic of Orlando together, Dustin relocated to his hometown in East Tennessee, and the duo decided to evolve a passion project formally the “Orlando Unplugged Podcast.”

This new podcast moves beyond the turnstiles of theme parks, diving into relatable millennial musings, stories of growth, and the unexpected adventures of adulthood. With Dustin’s Appalachian charm and Ashley’s Orlando Sunshine, each episode feels like catching up with old friends over coffee— or a roller coaster ride of laughs and insights.

Whether it’s navigating career changes, celebrating pop culture, or reminiscing about their Orlando days, Our Millennial Conversation promises to keep you entertained, inspired, and coming back for more.

Hey, I'm Ashley, a 28-year-old originally from Tampa but raised in Michigan. I moved to Orlando in 2020 and now work as the Food & Beverage Department Head for a major hotel chain. My heart belongs to Universal Studios Orlando, with The Mummy and E.T. being my go-to ride. In my free time, you'll likely find me exploring new eateries around Orlando, searching for the next best theme park treat, or just enjoying the Florida sunshine. Life in Orlando has been a whirlwind, and I can't wait to see what other adventures and delicious discoveries the future holds.

Hey, I'm Dustin, a 31-year-old from East Tennessee, deeply rooted in the Appalachian region. After spending time in Orlando exploring the hospitality industry, I've returned to my hometown, bringing back my passion for creating memorable experiences for others.

Beyond work, I’m a travel enthusiast who’s had the joy of exploring the United Kingdom. Disney still holds a special place in my heart, and my all-time favorite ride is "Living with the Land." Back in East Tennessee, I’m excited to reconnect with my roots while embracing new opportunities and adventures in the community I call home.
