Remember When: A Ten Year Reflection|| 2017, Taking the Podcast (and Myself) More Seriously
Feb 26, 2026

Looking back on 2017, it's hard not to feel nostalgic about the immense growth and learning that happened during About Progress's first full year as a podcast. As I opened up behind the mic, it was a year where I stepped into the world of podcasting more confidently, juggling both personal and professional challenges. From interviewing new voices like Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife to pushing myself in ways I hadn't anticipated, it was a time of intense learning and adaptation.
Fast forward to now, it's wild to think about how the lessons of 2017 have influenced the trajectory of my life and work. It's a reminder that dreams do require work, but they are also what make the journey so deeply fulfilling and worth every moment.
