This episode is different—it’s not about business, real estate, or even motivation. It’s about why this podcast exists in the first place.

After more than 100 episodes, I felt the need to step back, reflect, and re-center on the vision that started The 5 to 9 Job: creating a space for people who are trying, failing, rebuilding, and pushing through—one small discipline at a time.

I’ll share why I launched the podcast, what’s changed since Episode 1, the struggles that almost made me quit, and the intentional decisions I’ve made to protect quality and stay true to myself.

If you’ve ever wondered what this podcast is really about—or if you’re building something yourself and sometimes lose sight of your “why”—this is the episode for you.

What You’ll Learn

• The story behind The 5 to 9 Job and why the name matters.

• How chasing growth almost made me lose sight of the vision.

• The decision to scale back for more quality and authenticity.

• Why every episode you hear now is fully written by me.

• What this podcast will always stand for: people who are building, with no blueprint—but with fire in their gut.
