I Got Screwed but the Podcast Is Coming Back!

Why the Podcast Went Silent and What’s Coming Next In this personal solo episode, I share why The Hardcore Self Help Podcast went quiet and what’s been happening behind the scenes. I talk openly about a potential acquisition that fell through after months of planning, how that impacted me, and what the future of the show looks like. I'm relaunching the podcast with new energy, a fresh focus on interviews, and a renewed commitment to sharing real, meaningful stories. If you've been wondering where the podcast went, this is the episode for you.
