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.
