From Talk Shit With P To Wrap Shit With P; We’re Retiring The Tongue Out And Maybe Budweiser Too, Calm Down!!

A goodbye that feels like a sunrise. I’m closing a chapter that began as a lifeline during a storm and grew into a community, a business, and a passport to rooms I never dreamed I’d enter. Over five years and ten seasons, the show became therapy with a mic—holding space for messy truths, hard laughs, and the kind of honesty that stitches people back together.

I walk through what the podcast really returned: not just downloads, but doors. Speaking gigs, creative shoots, and client work flowed because consistent, heart-forward work builds trust. Along the way I learned how to turn connection into opportunity without losing the soul of the show. Pressing pause is my way to guard that soul. I’m retiring the tongue-out persona that defined the early years and stepping into a season shaped by intention, not inertia. Expect surprise bonus drops to keep the circle warm while I focus on a growing company and two books—one on how podcasting supported my mental health, another that blends essays and journalling to help creators reflect with courage.

You’ll also hear about a playful pivot: a YouTube beer quest to replace my longtime favourite with a brew worth the crown. It’s part tasting tour, part conversation series, and entirely powered by community. Friends and listeners shared first impressions that humbled me—yes, the energy is real, but so is the care—and their words track a journey from chaos to clarity. I’m carrying that forward into 2026 with better boundaries, deeper collaborations, and travel that feeds the work rather than drains it.

If this show has ever made you feel seen, laughed with you on a hard day, or pushed you to take one brave step, stay close. Subscribe, share this farewell with a friend who needs courage to pivot, and leave a review telling me your favourite moment.
