In this solo 200th episode, I'm sharing the story of what happened after my startup of four and a half years was suddenly ripped away from me. I discuss the struggle with depression and the loss of purpose I felt when the company that this podcast was built to support was forced to shut down. I'll also detail the podcast's journey from a failed lead magnet into a monetized, professional media company, why I've decided to stop relying on slow organic growth, and how I plan to reinvest 100% of the show's revenue back into paid ads. Finally, I'll give a raw, personal update on my life in Portugal and what I've learned after 200 episodes.
