This our last episode of the 2017 This year has seen some twists and turns to say the least When this year started I had ambitions of pushing this podcast as far as I could and turning it into a regularly occurring thing hopefully building a following along with that I was hoping I could find ways to monetize it and make a little money for all of the effort I was putting into editing it as well as booking guests and preparing interview questions While all that stuff can be enjoyable it does take a lot of time As we can see now that stuff didnt really come to fruition Other life circumstances got in the way and I also decided to start pursuing an audio business Priorities changed and this podcast became the odd man out We are still going to keep doing it but we will change how we do things from here on out We will release one episode per month as this will now just be a low pressure strictly for fun show only We will occasionally have a guest if its not too much hassle to do so Lastly we will shut down our website and simply maintain a Facebook page wwwfacebookcomeldpodcast We want to thank you for listening this year It has been fun We will once again return in January

After an extended break due to the craziest work schedule ever we are back Since we last left off some changes have happened for both Danny and Nick The podcast is likely going to happen less often due to a shift in priorities We will still keep this going as often as we are able but we will probably find it difficult to keep it consistent That being said we will still make an effort to bring on guests who will contribute to the ideas contained in our themeThis episode is really just our candid thoughts with virtually no editing I thought I would let this go out like this to let it be authentic Some topics covered included our jobs what we like and dont like about them how to transition into a career you are satisfied with etc Also just random stuff This is about as unfiltered as we have been so far Enjoywwweverylastdroppodcastcom
