This episode is the true story of how modern streaming took shape inside a beat-up warehouse in Deep Ellum and how a corporate layoff pushed me into the most important reset of my life. I take you back to the early days of AudioNet and Broadcast dot com, the forgotten brilliance of Chris Jaeb, the Cuban takeover, and the crazy aftermath when the dot com bubble collapsed and all those overnight millionaires discovered how fast money can disappear.

I share what it was really like inside Yahoo during its slow decline, how I forced myself to learn digital content production from scratch, and what happened the day security walked me to the door in 2009. Then comes the rebuild. Cross-country road trips. Bonnaroo two years in a row. A return to my BMX roots with a camera in my hand. A freelance career built on grit, skill, and the determination to stay relevant as the media world changed around me.

If you have ever been laid off, burned out, or stuck in a life that no longer fits, this episode is a reminder that you can always reinvent yourself. Sometimes you have to lose the job to find the life.
