Reflecting On 2020

Yo, what's going on, guys. Happy New Year's Eve. We're finally done with 2020, and I wanted to jump on here to record a year in a review podcast episode with you guys and talk about what I have planned for 2021.

But before we do all that, I just wanted to give a huge shoutout and thank you to everyone who's been listening since the beginning! Yes, I'm talking about you, who's currently listening at this very moment. Man, out of all of the hundreds of thousands of podcasts available, you guys decided I'm going to listen to this one. So I'm incredibly grateful for that, and I'm not going to take that for granted. Thank you, guys.

So quick 2020 podcast stats. We ended the year with 24 episodes, had listeners from 35 different countries, over 850 minutes worth of content, and almost 10,000 downloads! Not bad for not having any outside help or promotions.

Wow! It's crazy when you get a chance to stop and soak everything in. When I first started the podcast, I was not too fond of the idea of speaking in front of a mic. From my first couple of episodes, you can tell that I wasn't comfortable with it at all, but I knew this would be something that would positively impact people, so I challenged myself to get out of my comfort zone for the greater good. I'm still not where I want to be, but I'm committed to making sure I do my best to get better every day.

I set a goal which I wrote out at the beginning of 2020 of doing only ten episodes for the entire year because, at the time, I felt like that was all I could do. That goal was HUGE, damn near impossible in my mind at the time, but we ended up doing more than double the amount.

The podcast's first year focused on learning, experimenting, and making many mistakes. So, for 2021, I'm ready to get the name out there and do a complete rebrand of the podcast. There's also a big possibility that I'll bring on a permanent co-host to help with the show as well. Now that I'm much more comfortable, I will do a better job at bringing on more influential guests so that you guys get even more value. So many things are coming in 2021 with the podcast, Asianmenswear, and even a product line coming soon, so stay tuned!

Before I end things off, I want to give a shoutout to all of the guests from 2020; without your wisdom and stories, the podcast would be empty. Thank you for taking the time to have a conversation with me and sharing it with the world. I hope you guys kill it in 2021. Have a happy New Year, guys, and that's a wrap for 2020!
