Please consider leaving a follow and a five-star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! Thank you to all of the listeners for the support! I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout.
And I think part of that is I think a lot of these episodes feel mundane and maybe that's on me.
I mean, I'll take full ownership if it's all on me and, you know, I could be doing a better job.
But I think what happens or what I've noticed a lot of the time is the storylines that are told on the show.
Everybody is unique and everybody has their own unique lessons and stories.
But in high school running, there's only so many storylines.
Like, let's be honest, like, Yes, everybody has their own unique and individual experiences and that makes them special.
And it's so cool to be able to hear that on a weekly basis.

And I love learning.
I love change in some ways.
And so I've just, I've really not been feeling any sense of variety or fun.
And maybe that's just my laziness.
Like maybe I need to actually think about how I can innovate and make the show better.
a couple years ago during my sophomore year of high school, I did those panel episodes, and that was a super fun way to mix up what I was doing on the show.
It was getting all those top high school athletes on.
