#500 - 500 Episodes and Still Rocking
Thank you for hanging in with me for 500 episodes! Today’s episode will veer a bit from the norm as I pause to reflect on our journey and commemorate it with this milestone episode. Listen in to hear my reflections and thoughts from listeners about observations and the meaning of these past 500 episodes.
Let’s celebrate!
I’m not great at pausing to celebrate, however, completing 500 episodes is an occasion worth celebrating. Not every episode has been a winner. There have been plenty of failures, trials, errors, and corrections throughout this podcast journey.
I’m proud of myself for my consistency throughout this journey as I dive into relevant retirement topics that pique both my curiosity and yours. I appreciate you for hanging in there and staying the course with me. Press play to hear my observations after 500 episodes on what it takes to rock retirement.
