Welcome back to Diary of a Bald Man! In today’s episode, titled “The Apology Tour,” host Allen Woffard peels back the curtain on where he’s been, why the podcast took a brief hiatus, and what’s been happening behind the scenes. Allen shares candid updates about the show missing out on the recent People's Choice Podcast Awards, reflects on his global listener community, and addresses personal challenges—including a stint overseas, a battle with health issues, and the deep dive into his years-in-the-making book project.

He opens up about using AI tools to organize his massive manuscript, leading to the birth of the new “Broken Compass” book series—which focuses on stories, lessons, and the very real struggles and triumphs of contractors, safety professionals, and anyone feeling burnt out.

This episode isn’t just about Allen’s journey; it’s an invitation for listeners to reconnect, check out new resources and guides, and become part of the evolving Diary of a Bald Man community. Tune in for heartfelt apologies, hard-earned wisdom, personal stories, and a little bit of humor, asAllen reminds us all to plan, prepare, communicate, and engage—no matter where we are on our own paths.
