Welcome to a special Friday edition of What's Next with Eric Wood, and this will be a solo edition.

And the reason I'm putting this one out is this is the two year anniversary of me

starting this podcast. And it has been a fun two years that started with me at a point in my life

when I hit my what's next moment when my career ended. And I went on a journey to learn from some of

the worlds and the earth's most influential people when I could find out how to navigate this next chapter of my life when I'm moving on for my pro career, when I least expected it.

And I was going to learn from all these individuals.

Let me first off, start off by thanking all of you that are tuned in to this

episode and have been tuned in from the start. To all of you who have subscribed to this podcast,

who have given me feedback, who have suggested guests, this podcast has a five-star rating.

I'm blown away that you guys have enjoyed going on this journey with

me and I hope you learned a lot as well. I have good news, hopefully good news for you guys.

This podcast is here to say the numbers are constantly growing. The sponsors are here supporting it.

It will be here to stay. And there are still so many guests that I want to

learn from as I continue to stay on this journey. And I am on a learning journey at this point.

I'm in broadcasting right now. I'm loving this podcast space, but I'm still constantly learning.

And I feel like all throughout life life we should all be on a journey

to learn from those and for me to be able to learn from people who have achieved things that I

could only dream of and to find out what was the process that got them there has been so rewarding

for me. Often, through my work with the bills, we'll do superlatives, whether it's after the game

at the midway point of the season, after the season.

We'll talk about the MVP, the most inspiring, whatever it may be.

We're not going to give an MVP on this one because it'd be extremely hard to find through
