This is the last episode of this show for a while. Jay is burnt out from making Made It and three seasons of this show in three years and is going to take some time work on other projects for a while. But stay subscribed because Season 4 will be back... at some point! And Made It: Season 2 will drop... sometime as well!

Thank you for all your love and support.

Hey y’all.
Before I say anything else, let me say this: I love you all. The thousands of people who listen each week, the thousands who have listened to Made It Season 1. Those of you who support the show by subscribing on patreon, buying merch, reaching out etc. Thank you. I love you.
Now, the hard news. This will be the last episode for… a while. For the first time since I started working on this show in late January of 2020, I don’t have the next publish date in mind. It won’t be before next year; I can guarantee that. It will be a true hiatus.
I don’t want to get into the why except to say I’m burned out. Doing Made It took a lot out of me and, well, all the reasons I covered when I talked about failure before the season. If you didn’t listen to that, the Season 3 preview episode, go back and listen. It will give you a good idea.
This isn’t the end. Season 4 of the Choose Your Struggle podcast will begin… sometime. As will Season 2 of Choose Your Struggle Presents: made It. I promise you all of that. So please stay subscribed to these feeds and keep following on social media to make sure you know when we’re back. And if you follow on Patreon, thank you! I have, however, closed that account. No sense charging y’all while I’m not doing the work. But thank you for your support. It means the world. And the merch store on teepublic will stay open because that shit is selling like hotcakes! So keep buying mech please and thank you!
Anyway, as for me, my next move is coming. That’s all I’ll say now but good things for sure. Without a doubt, good things.
So, until next time:
Be vulnerable
Show your empathy
Spread your love
And choose your struggle
Stay tuned
