Welcome to Forging Resilience, exploring for a different perspective on strength and leadership. Join me as we discuss experiences and stories with guests to help gain fresh insights around challenge, success and leadership. Today, on Forging Resilience, I'm going to do a little roundup from the season, a few lessons, a few shares, a few insights from the last few months of recording this season, as I did last year. As I was just flicking through some of the episodes, I thought I would highlight a few that stood out most to me, but I decided not to do that because they're all so special in their unique way. And that leads me to my first point an immense sense of gratitude that I have for the guests who have offered me their time to discuss things that are important to them or to me, or even to to you, the listener. The relationships that I've built, the incredible conversations that I've had and the personal insights that I've had and also I know a few of my listeners have had make this all so worth it, and for that I am incredibly, incredibly grateful. I am incredibly, incredibly grateful. The second thing I remind myself of is, even now, recording this episode 76 or something I had to delete, a few for people saying too much or a change of heart, which is all good, that's absolutely fine, there's no problem there, but the nerves don't go away. For me, it's a nervous excitement now, though, and I feel that every single time it makes me feel so much, it makes me feel alive. I'm grateful to be able to feel those nerves even now. Even now, and I don't anticipate that going anywhere. I've always said, with this podcast, my aim is to speak to interesting people about things that interest me, around resilience, and sometimes we've stayed on topic and other times we've wandered far from, but they've always been interesting conversations for me. The third thing is a reminder to myself, but also to potentially, you, the listener that ego, fear, doubt will always tell us it's not ready, it's not quite good enough, there's some more editing, or we need to speak to more people, it needs to be more professional, but that is not something that I have found works for me or works for this podcast. Yeah, there's loads of things that can be improved on in terms of the editing and the sound quality, and maybe even my question, and definitely the way that I ask questions, but that's not the point. I'm not doing it for me. It's so much easier just to get it to a b minus or 75%. Good enough, get it out the door, get the lessons, get the experience and move on to the next one.

The fourth thing that jumps out at me as I look through these episodes and even dive back into a few, is that I can't help but feel really proud of this that I've created, which really started off as a wild idea and an accident. The even more exciting thing is that they can get so much better. And the fifth thing season three will have a slight shift and a slight change. I've always said I'll do 100 and re-evaluate, but I'm going to make that slight shift earlier. I've got the summer to rest, recover, relax, use a bit of creative time to see how I could best deliver the message that the incredible guests have to the world. That might look like video, it might look like a bit more specific in certain topics and even specific for a certain group of people, but there'll still be interesting conversations with people that interest me. So they're the five things that really leap out at me as I quickly round up season two, and just a couple of things before I disappear, and one would be, if not already, on the dynamic content, as in these messages that jump up on the end of the podcast.

If you have feedback, please get in touch. I'd love to hear from you. It helps me grow. It helps me develop new ideas and and deliver, more importantly, the impactful messages that the incredible guests have. And the last one thanks once again to you, the listener, thanks once again to all the incredible guests. I'm really excited to be able to go again for season three with all the love and support that I've had for this little accidental project. Take it easy, we'll speak soon. Lots of love.
