Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Jeff MacColino podcast. I hope you all had a very merry Christmas

and hoping, if you listen to this before then, that you have a happy new year. I guess that

that can still go if you listen to it on January 2nd. I can still wish you a happy 2022.

This will be the last episode of the podcast for 2021. Of course, this was our inaugural season,

so to speak, of the podcast. And I do want to thank all of you who have listened.

It's been quite a journey from February to now. I've gotten some amazing guests

on the podcast, made some friends. Just really awesome to connect with so many different people

over the past year. I've said that, you know, humbly my goal this year when I started, I said I'm

going to put out 50 episodes, whether I have to do them all myself or whether people will be

willing to come on. And obviously, I've had plenty of willing guests. Well, maybe some I threatened.

But mostly willing guests to come on and had some great conversations.

You know, and some of these guests will be revisiting the podcast in 2022.

You know, just some awesome experiences and people that I've gotten to meet along the way.

So thank you to all of my listeners and my guests. My goals when I started, again, was 50 episodes.

And I thought, you know what, if I get a thousand downloads, a thousand listens,

you know, that will be a success just to get going. I was way off in my expectations.

This will end up being my 54th episode, so it's pretty close on that goal. And the goal will

remain the same next year. Pop out at least 50 episodes. I think I will probably be gone for a

week. And then I'll start popping them out in mid January 2022. I may do a solo recap episode or

something to that extent. Sorry about that. I almost started playing a podcast on my phone.

Two of my former guests did a podcast together.

Steph and Satani and Dana Pereira. So that's what I'm currently listening to and almost played on
