After 1,000 episodes and a short break, this isn’t a reset or a rebrand. It’s a continuation. Fewer rules, less structure, more honesty. Some episodes will be long, some short. Some solo, some with guests. When there’s something worth saying, the mic comes on.

Episode 1001 reflects on the pause, the coaches summits, community, performance, regulation, and why February felt like the right time to return.
