Welcome back to another episode of the #MeetCoolPeople Podcast! This episode is a special one for me as it marks a year since I launched this podcast as a birthday present to myself. Recording from my daughter's spare bedroom in Idaho, I reflected on this amazing journey and the incredible people I've had the pleasure to connect with and introduce to you.

One year, 55 episodes, and countless cool conversations later, I am thrilled to share a bit of the story behind #MeetCoolPeople. From Adam Hommey, my first guest who also happens to be a longtime friend, to a slew of fantastic individuals like Steve Gamlin, Lisa Manyon, and Bravis Brown, this podcast has truly been a tapestry of amazing human connections.

We discussed how much these interactions mean to me and how important it is for all of us to meet and connect with new people. My guests come from various backgrounds, but all share a common thread: their ability to bring something unique and valuable to the table.

Here are some key takeaways from this reflection episode:

• Commitment Matters: Most podcasts don't make it past five episodes. Commitment and showing up consistently are key to building something significant.
• Importance of Networking: The people we meet can lead us to opportunities we never imagined. Don’t underestimate the power of connecting with someone new.
• Sharing and Supporting: Giving value first and helping others succeed creates a ripple effect that ultimately brings value back to you.
• Personal Growth: Putting projects on hold until the right moment can make a huge difference in the quality and impact of your work.
• Celebrate Small Wins: Each connection and conversation is a victory. Recognize and appreciate them.
