Summary: <br> <br> I have been away for quite some time – almost 7 months to be exact. The biggest question I have asked myself during this time is, “why?” Why did I stop recording? Why did I start recording in the first place? Do I enjoy it enough to keep pressing forward? The truth is, I slipped into a dark and unproductive place. During my absence, I have learned much about myself – the most important, being patient. Three episodes into The Journey and I thought I should have been making money by then or at least had a sponsor. After not yielding and additional stream of income, I figured it was time to hang it up. Despite the positive feedback I received from my episodes, I let my lust for making a shit load of money cloud the underlying reason for why I started podcasting. I love meeting people, developing relationships, and sharing stories.<br> It isn’t about money – life isn’t about making large sums of money. Yes, being financially free is important and it is one less thing to stress about if you’ve achieved it, but it’s not everything. If there is one thing I have learned from podcasts that I listen to, I must give much credit to Gary Vaynerchuk – “do shit you love.” The simplest, yet most powerful message I have read and heard.<br> With that being said, why do we waste so much time in life focusing on dumb shit? I could list a myriad of reasons why but I want to keep this episode brief. It feels good to be back and I look forward to finishing out 2017 by providing you with some great content. Stay tuned…<br>
