I have been trying to write a post of some kind since our campaign ended on Wednesday, but the words just aren’t coming to me. That’s probably a symptom of how other-worldly this whole thing has felt over the last few weeks.

Even though I cannot quite put all my thoughts together coherently, there is one thing I really wanted to share.

Recently I had been feeling that the biggest successes of my career had already happened. That I wasn’t going to do anything new that could compare to what I had accomplished before. It felt like I was closer to the end of all of this than the beginning. Now I know that was wrong, and I cannot tell you how liberating and encouraging that feels.

This past month has been one of the most successful periods of my 15 years in podcasting, and it has given me a massive boost in my creative confidence. More importantly, it has reminded me that there are still new things for me to make, new ideas to pursue, and new opportunities ahead of me. ^[1]

So thank you. Thank you for backing this project, believing in it, and helping me feel this way.

Jason and I are now heads-down on the show, and we cannot wait to share it with you.^[2]
