In this episode, I talk about the show’s 7-year anniversary and reflect on what it means to stay consistent for that long. I share some thoughts on growth, time passing, and how the podcast has evolved.

I also discuss wanting to be a minimalist, but realizing my collector mindset makes that difficult. I get into the tension between liking the idea of owning less and enjoying the sentimental and nostalgic value of the things I keep.

Later, Jon joins me and we talk about him getting fired, what was supposed to be a one-month break, and how that turned into five months without any real communication. We unpack what happened, how it unfolded, and what that period of uncertainty was like for him.

Overall, it’s a conversation about milestones, personal tendencies, and navigating unexpected changes.
