In this bonus New Year solo episode, Taylor sits down without a guest for the first time to answer listener questions and reflect on a year that didn’t go according to plan. He talks openly about the highs and lows of 2025, including ending a long term relationship, moving back from Argentina, losing a job, navigating a serious concussion, and what it took to keep going through it all. Along the way, Taylor digs into topics listeners asked about—touring life and what a tour manager actually does, fitness routines, mental health, spirituality, regrets, and the unexpected lessons that have come from starting this podcast.

This episode isn’t about resolutions or having things figured out. It’s an honest check in at the start of a new year, focused on reflection, community, and answering real questions from the people listening. If you’ve ever felt behind, unsure, or just human heading into January, this one’s for you.

Taylor is joined by creative strategist and podcaster Mitchell Cohen for a conversation about courage in the smallest moments. They explore why imposter syndrome never really leaves (and why it doesn’t have to), and how Mitchell’s "Now Not How" mantra helps bypass perfectionism long enough to actually start. He breaks down the 20 seconds of courage framework and the surprising leverage in tiny risks that open big doors. They get into lessons from talking with founders, choosing environments that support who you want to be, and the difference between forcing growth and designing for it. Along the way they touch on travel, identity, choosing alcohol free, and what happens when you stop living in “shoulds” and start following resonance instead. If you need a spark to take the next small step, this episode will hand it to you.

Taylor sits down with good friend and health & life coach Jen Russell for a grounded look at reinvention: leaving a 20-year education career, starting a coaching practice, and learning to choose joy over endless “optimization.” Jen demystifies what coaching actually is (and isn’t), how identity shifts stick, and why support beats going it alone. From there, Jen shares the curveball that changed everything—winning $$$ on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?—and how “getting everything she wanted” exposed what really needed healing and became the catalyst for sobriety and a truer path. You’ll also hear her practical take on “manifesting”, why embracing strategic mediocrity frees up energy for what matters, and the role of nature, community, and scuba in keeping joy alive. If you’ve wondered whether it’s too late to start over—or how to change without losing yourself—this one’s for you.
