Mitch ventured far from home to a place called Carmel, Indiana. Since he is part hermit, he hadn't made many friends in the area. After a few months he thought, "Huh, I guess I should get some friends." And as if the universe itself was responding to his sad, lonely, heartbreaking, desperate call... his inbox pinged. Erica was kicking ass and taking names at work, but she wanted to put her kicking to better use. She decided it was time to revive the company kickball team. Her only problem? She was missing an incredible athlete who could bring the team greatness and more importantly, glory. She did what anyone would do in her situation, send a generic mass email poll to the young professionals at the company. Mitch saw this very exclusive and personal email questionnaire from an Erica. Sent to him and maybe only a handful of people. 'Yes' or 'No' were his only options. Basically, are you in or are you out? With us or against us? Ride or die. He knew right then he'd follow this woman, his captain, to the ends of the earth. Erica received a blank email with tiny little words that said, "The sender responded. Yes." She knew right then and there, she found her kickball and life MVP. Those tiny little words on a work email brought two people together, and a red playground ball did the rest.
