It was May 20, 2016. That day that I got a wild hair. I had created a world for myself that was pure misery. I had founded a nonprofit around my passion, but put myself in a role of administrator, not the person delivering the very services I loved providing. There was absolutely no creative outlet. Worse, I was supposed to be a catalyst for change toward the better and was watching the country backslide away from increased freedom to an alarmingly fascist government. I thought, why not? Why not start a podcast and talk about increasing your ability to live a life you love, to have more stability, to tap into opportunities that others may not see? So I did and I got EIGHTY downloads. The next day I got 14 and one of them was my mother. Who knew that five years later, after lots of joy, hardships, slaps in the face, heartbreak, new friendships, and help from all of you -- we would reach episode 500. Today, we celebrate this milestone with content from y’all. Thank you for making our community so strong, for li
