Fifty episodes. Most creators don’t make it past twenty-one… but I pushed through that wall on purpose. Not to brag, but to prove to myself that this podcast isn’t a phase — it’s something I love, something I’m committed to, and something I’m still getting better at every single time I hit record.

Over these 50 episodes, I’ve met 19 guests — all from different backgrounds, different levels of success, different battles. But they all share one thing:

A desire to be better.

Not one of them was “comfortable” with where they were. And that’s the part that inspires me the most. No matter how big or small the win, they wanted more — so they did the work.

This video is a reflection on:

• The lessons I’ve learned from these conversations
• The golden nuggets you find even in episodes you don’t expect
• How listening has made me a better thinker, a better question-asker, and honestly… a better person
• Why staying open-minded is one of the most underrated skills for entrepreneurs
• What 50 episodes has taught me about storytelling, growth, and the grind

I’m nowhere near being a “master conversationalist,” but this journey has shown me that I don’t have to be — I just have to keep going.

To every guest who has sat across from me: you guys rock. And to everyone watching… we’re just getting started.
