814 - Why I’m Done Performing and Back to Just Hitting Record - At Least For This Episode

This episode wasn't planned out beforehand. No outline. No prep. No attempt to make it “valuable.” Just me hitting record and sharing what’s been on my mind and heart. I’ve been thinking a lot about the kind of content I actually enjoy consuming. The kind where someone just shows up, talks, and lets you into their real experience of life. No performance. No polish. No filtering everything through what they think will land best. Just honest, present conversation. I share a bit about a few creators who have been inspiring me lately, and why this style of communication still feels like the most meaningful to me. From there, I go into what’s been shifting in my own thinking around business, especially after finishing Company of One . I’ve gained a deeper clarity about who I’m creating for and what kind of work I actually want to build moving forward. I also talk about a book that found its way to me at exactly the right time, Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, and how it reawakened something that’s been quietly pursuing me for years. That led me to make a commitment to finally write my book on mastermind groups. Along the way, I share what’s been happening behind the scenes this past week. New episodes published, conversations that stood out, a return to early morning reading and journaling, and a sense that things are coming back into alignment in a way that feels both simple and deeply satisfying. This is one of those episodes where you either resonate with the style or you don’t.
