Meaning of ご縁 and 縁 in this context


I came across this interview, where the speaker mentioned both ご縁 and 縁 and
this is from this particular clip -> <https://clyp.it/v1uobgr2>

I managed to transcribe it (I believe?), but I'm not sure how would I go about
translating the first part, especially to distinguish between ご縁 and 縁.

What I heard was

> それから、Staffさんとの沢山の **ご縁** があって  
>  作品の中でも沢山の **縁** があって  
>  素晴らしい方々と色んな **縁** でこうして出来たのが  
>  舞台Haikyuu!!だと思ってます。

I know that 縁 has such a deep meaning in Japanese, so I was wondering if there
is any way to make it easier to understand?

PS. Yes this is an interview related to the manga called Haikyuu!!

**Edit: The audio link has been fixed.**

Also I struggled to transcribe this particular bit from the same interview.

I could only hear

> 本当にxxxx良かったです。ありがとうございます。

so I was wondering, if anyone can help me shed some light on this.

Thank you!




Some spiritually-inclined person might think of 「人とご縁があって」 as "the universe
brought us together", a religious person might say "God brought us together",
etc.

However, I think that ご縁 is quite similar to the sentiment in " **it was meant
to be** ".

In the context you give, this is difficult to make sound natural, so I would
tend to something like

> スタッフさんとの沢山のご縁があって、作品の中でも沢山の縁があって、素晴らしい方々と色んな縁でこうして出来たのが舞台Haikyuu!!だと思ってます。
>
> I feel very lucky to meet the staff, the production likewise went very
> smoothly / just flowed naturally, and the encounters with all these
> wonderful people is how _Haikyū!!_ came to be.

I think the difference between 縁 and ご縁 is just the usual difference between 〇
and ご〇・お〇 (the one with ご・お is more polite).
