Welcome to the first episode of 2026! If you’re stepping into the new year with big dreams, astubborn heart, and a wallet that keeps reminding you of “reality”… yeah, same.

This episode is for every creator who finally had the courage to pursue what they love only to smack face-first into the part nobody talks about: the awkward, messy-but-determined middle where passion feels rich but your bank account does not.

And since we’re starting fresh this year, there’s a little announcement in the outro: JacQ of All Trades is officially shifting back to weekly episodes.

More stories, more creator talk, more unfiltered chaos wisdom — coming your way every week.
