This episode changed me


I’ve recorded a lot of interviews over the years—some inspiring, some fun, some forgettable.

But every now and then, an episode hits different.

One guest in particular cracked something open in me. It wasn’t just their story—it was the way they told it.

The honesty.

The energy.

The unexpected clarity that came from that conversation stuck with me long after we hit “stop.”

  • It changed the way I prep.
  • It changed how I listen.
  • It changed how I show up to the mic.

We often think about the value we’re giving to listeners—what transformation they are getting from our show.

But what if your podcast is also a mirror?
A tool for your growth, reflection, and self-discovery?

So let me ask you:

What’s one episode that changed you?
What did it teach you about your voice, your path, or your purpose?

Hit reply and tell me. I’d love to hear it.

In case you're curious, here's the episode.

They’re part of the foundation. If someone saw me out there today, they probably thought, “What is this guy doing?” But...

It’s 11:10 as I write this email. I just realized that I hadn’t sent my daily email. You know, the one I’ve been sending since January of this year. And for a micro-second I thought, “oh well, I’ll just start again tomorrow.” Oh, hellllzzz no. Which is why I’m pecking this out on my iPhone. Consistency is good. Commitment is better.

Let’s get real for a second. Are you a podcaster… or just a content machine going through the motions? I ask because I’ve seen it—heck, I’ve lived it. You’re publishing every week. You’re consistent. But something feels off. You’re showing up… but not really showing up. That spark you had when you first hit record? Gone. The excitement about your message? Replaced with checklists and burnout. Here’s the hard truth: Consistency without intention is just noise. If you’re not clear on where your...
