I'm going to be taking a slight two-day break from releasing episodes this Wednesday and Thursday, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. So no new episodes on those days. It'll also give you guys some time to catch up on any old episodes, which I hope you've all been enjoying. I love responding to your comments, listening to feedback about the episodes, the episodes you like, the episodes you don't like, how I can improve, how the show can improve.

I love all of them, and I love responding to them. Also, when you guys hit me up on social media, on Instagram, on Facebook, even on email, I will always try my best to respond to you all. We will be dropping new episodes again this coming Sunday. and I'm just really excited for 2006. We've had so many good guests in 2025. We have a big slate of guests in the near future, bigger names, celebrities. And I know I've gotten some questions about, you know,

will there always be room for a normal average everyday people now that we're getting into bigger names? And their answer is, of course, my plan is to only have like a bigger celebrity name once or twice a month. but the show will always be for the average everyday people whose stories we don't get to hear every day and prioritize those stories. I mean, I do five episodes a week, so there's not enough celebrities to fill that gap anyways. But yeah, guys, I wish you the best holiday season ever. I wish you a happy and healthy new year. And honestly, really, thank you from the bottom of my heart

for making my dreams come true this year and for supporting me. I love the Lockton community. You guys mean the world to me. So happy holidays, happy new year, and let's make 2006 even better than 2025. Also, can you believe it's been, you know, January 23rd is going to be three years of doing the podcast. So crazy. I never thought I'd be a podcaster. I never thought I'd be in content creation. But here we are.

And I look forward to reading more of your guys' messages throughout the holiday season and throughout the next year. I will never not respond to comments and messages. It always comes from me and it always comes from the heart. So take care, everyone, and much love.
