In this year-end episode of The People’s Podcast, Ismail keeps it all the way real. No highlights reel. No pretending. Just an honest conversation about what this year actually looked like—the wins, the losses, the lessons, the mistakes, and the moments that tested faith, patience, and purpose.

This is a raw reflection on growth, struggle, accountability, and gratitude. Some things worked. Some things didn’t. But every experience brought lessons worth carrying forward. As the year closes, this episode is about truth, perspective, and moving into the next chapter with clarity and intention.

If you’ve had a year that challenged you, stretched you, or forced you to look in the mirror—this one’s for you.
