Nobody wants to listen to your podcast anymore.

You know, you're relying on

people wanting to spend time with you.

And that's a very fickle thing.

You know, if people decide one day that they don't like you anymore, if you grow and evolve or change, maybe even devolve, okay, you might lose that audience and that is the driving, that is what allows it to be a job is that there's people consuming

the content.

So it's like, that's a very fickle thing.

And that was something that caused me a lot of anxiety as a young person, a lot of anxiety.

I was like, oh, I'm like really taking a big risk.

You know, I'm not going to college.

I didn't finish high school properly.

I did.

I technically kind of, but like, you know, I took like a test to get out early, but it's like, took a huge risk to do this as my job.

And at the drop of a hat, everybody could go and not care anymore and not like me anymore.

And now I'm out of a job and now what?

And

So very early on, without even realizing I was doing it, I started to establish a sense of detachment with this job.

And it's been very hard because it is so intertwined with my life, my day-to-day life.

Like, I talk about my life.

That's a big part of this job.
