One hundred episodes. Never missed a single week. If podcasts gave out report cards, I think I'd earn an A for consistency. But here's what a milestone like this really makes you do: look back at where you started and be honest about how much has changed along the way. In this solo episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of everything that shifted since episode 1, from the format, to the schedule, to a decision I almost made that would have ended this whole thing.

I'll walk you through why I traded weekly livestreams for recorded episodes, why I eventually ditched video altogether, and a surprising milestone happening quietly in my LinkedIn newsletter that most listeners have no idea about. And I'll tell you about the moment I nearly threw in the towel, and the friend who talked me off that ledge with one unforgettable line. It's a story with an unexpected full-circle twist involving two women who happen to share the same first name and a whole lot more in common than that. Here's to the next hundred.
