September 2026…this is, without a doubt, the most uniquest and deeperest episode yet. Amy and J.T. go Mariana Trench about, in a very random order: planners, organization, 99% Invisible, motivation, Amy has nine published books, Pilot Frixion Pens, Amarillo, The Telepathy Tapes, Hemingway, core values, ending afriendship, Route 385 in Colorado (not Route 287 like J.T. mentioned incorrectly), AFI, Red Rocks, your why, “should,” what’s important, Lucas and our Writer’s Group, consciousness, hypocrisy, science, awareness, Cadillac Ranch, and Palo Duro Canyon, amongst other things.

In August 2026, J.T. and Amy discuss a whole lotta stuff, in no particular order: J.T.'s big mouth, traveling in Europe, J.T.'s shaving schedule, sabbaticals, watching people write (like, actually watching), targets versus goals, Texas, ROI, Amy fitting bookshelves in a Jeep, BookBub, J.T.'s inability to do what he says for a few months, and more...oh, and to fact-check J.T., it looks like closer to 16% of NFL athletes are broke within 12 years, based on new data. The information he had was a decade old.

This month, Amy & J.T. talk about demands and pressures: on publishers, on us, on agents, and how they go both ways. We also discuss thought bubbles, schmagents, marketing and branding, and how you can find Amy's blog here: https://amycip.com/
