This is it. Episode 365. The last time I open the podcast with those words.
This episode isn’t a neat bow or a highlight reel. It’s a real reflection on what it actually takes to show up every single day for a year, without fireworks, without drama, and without pretending it was always fun.
I talk about why documenting the year mattered more than “performing” it, and how most of the work happened quietly in between the milestones. The Everest Base Camp analogy still holds. You get there… and it’s just another step. The meaning lives in the repetition.
I share what surprised me most.
– Why batching sounded smart but killed the point
– How finding a story in the ordinary became the real challenge
– What outsourcing production changed forever
– Why audio still wins for me, hands down
– And how this project sharpened my ability to think out loud, even when energy was low
I also talk honestly about the limits of the format. The quality dipped at times. Some episodes were rough. That’s the cost of consistency. And I’m okay with that.
This project ends so I can redirect the bandwidth into the next big thing, my book with Wiley. That trade-off matters. Finishing well sometimes means stopping cleanly.
If you listened to one episode or all 365, thank you. You were part of this, whether you ever told me or not.
This feed isn’t dead. It’s just paused, repurposed, and ready for whatever comes next.
No episode tomorrow..!
