Hey All,
So. I have to announce that the podcast is going on a bit of a hiatus.
Everything is fine. Really.
The issue is, I have some real life things that really need my focus and attention right now and unfortunately, juggling scheduling AND episode relases creates a really difficult loop for me to feel that I can stay ahead and on top of things right now.
I’m still going to be scheduling and doing recordings as that doesn’t have as much pressure and plan to be back in January (Beginning or End is to be determined right now) on my regular schedule!
In the interim, I am as I said going to keep on scheduling and doing recordings as well as work towards some smaller projects that I hope to release here, as well as hopefully plan out and work towards some bigger plans that I want to work towards relasing sooner than later!
So be sure to follow and subscribe (Where applicable haha) so you’ll keep up to date with the guests I speak with, project updates, and for when I return!
I appreciate everyone that listens and thank you for your patience!
