Only two times in all of my years of podcasting have I had to pull down an episode after it was already live at the guest's request because of personal or professional concerns.

The first time was back when I was making

smartest person in the room,

was an older show that I made,

and episode seven of the Hollywood series became legendary for the fact that I had to remove this fairly amazing conversation with a Hollywood talent agent when his employer, a major talent agency, was not psyched on its release, to put it mildly.

And then the second time that I've ever had to remove an episode was episode 163,

a Friendship Stories conversation about bridesmaids gone rogue.

Both times I had full legal and personal permission to record and air those interviews and both times the reality of something being public proved more complicated than maybe expected.

But look, this is not a gotcha kind of show.

I do not want to make anyone's life harder or cause anyone distress.

That is definitely not the spirit of 10 things to tell you.

It's bad karma.

Podcast episodes here are not more important than anyone's well-being or career or

relationships. So I have honored the guests request to remove episode 163 from the internet but I wanted to give you the listener

an explanation. If you're looking to fill your ears with more 10 things to tell you

this week as part of your listening routine and I hope you are.

Make sure that you don't miss the recent bonus episode with Emily Lay about morning routines or

episode 162, 10 ways to handle overwhelm, or even episode 159, my recent reading roundup.

As always, I appreciate your support of 10 things to tell you and the work that we are doing here to bring connection and introspection.

Stay subscribed because you definitely will not want to miss what's coming this week and next.

Thanks for listening, friends. Oh, you're going to.
