So clearly, it was high time to have him back on the show. Brian brings his years of insight and hard work to this interview so you can get a better idea of what it takes to get your own project off the ground. Doesn't matter if you're an entrepreneur, business-curious, or simply wanting to be a better leader in whatever you're doing—there's some excellent, straightforward advice here.

All right, team. Welcome back to the Man Talk Show. I just want to say again, you know, I know I've said it the last couple of weeks. I'm going to say it again here. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for downloading these episodes. Thank you for sharing them. We have hit a landmark.

0:25.8

I want to celebrate something with you because I don't do that very often. But, you know, I set a goal for

0:31.5

myself earlier on in this year. And the goal was to reach 100,000 downloads a month. And that was meaningful to me because I've

0:40.0

been running this podcast for six plus years. And, you know, I really wanted to develop the show.

0:45.7

I wanted to develop this podcast into something that was meaningful for people. And I've put a lot into

0:51.9

inviting some exceptional guests on the show to come on and some great conversations, some great stories from some great lessons and learning.

1:00.6

And so it means a lot to me that the show has been growing and that you've been sharing it, that you've been tuning in, that you've been sharing it on Instagram and tagging me and all those things.

1:53.9

and I have put a lot of work into trying to be a better host and build a better show for you to

1:59.4

tune into. So if you ever have feedback, if you ever
