Popping champagne and cutting cake, we're celebrating a milestone that once seemed impossibly far away—our 100th episode. What begins as a party quickly transforms into a deeply reflective conversation about what it truly takes to build something meaningful.

After two years of consistent weekly episodes, we've discovered that creating content worth listening to is simultaneously harder and more rewarding than either of us initially imagined. We pull back the curtain on the realities of podcasting—the times we didn't feel like showing up, the surprising connections with listeners that kept us going, and the gradual improvement that comes from simply refusing to quit.

The most powerful revelation? How dramatically we underestimate the work required for extraordinary success. We share stories of podcasting giants who published weekly for years before anyone noticed—like Chris Williamson of Modern Wisdom, who had just three total plays across his entire catalog after three months of consistent content. Today, his show boasts over a billion plays.

This conversation isn't just about podcasting—it's about persistence in any worthy pursuit. Whether you're building a business, developing a skill, or creating content, the pattern remains the same: the bigger the dream, the longer the runway needed before takeoff. Success isn't about working twice as hard as others, but often 1000x more consistently over time.

For anyone who's ever questioned whether their efforts matter when progress seems invisible, this episode offers both validation and challenge. Keep showing up. The work you do when nobody's watching becomes the foundation that makes everything else possible.
