The Episode I Didn’t Want to Record

This wasn’t supposed to be today’s episode. I had a script ready. I had two missed releases last week—not because I couldn’t record, but because I didn’t feel *connected* to what I was saying anymore.

In today’s episode, I open up about almost quitting *The 5 to 9 Job*. Not out of laziness or lack of ideas—but out of frustration. Out of tiredness. Out of watching the numbers stay flat even though I’m giving it everything I’ve got.

And I know I’m not alone in this.

So this is the therapy episode—for me and maybe for you, too.

I also hope it helps creators, thinkers,and people trying to build something—anything—and wondering if it’s still worth it.

Welcome to The 5 to 9 Job—my journal on growth, failure, and figuring life out.

I started this show because I felt this deep need to help people like me…People trying. Failing and rebuilding. The idea was to use the hours between 5pm to 9am to grow. Slowly, my vision expanded and I wanted to do it all, to build a platform to raise others, reflect and share my interests and soon I hit a wall.

Now It’s back to the basics; fewer better episodes. Each week, I share a few reflections, conversations, and stories from guests so make sure you don’t miss out on any episode.

Welcome to my workshop.
