In this episode, I open up about the journey of building this community we have here at Cousin Ed's Corner. I shared a message that hit me right in the feels - from one of my high school friends who reached out to tell me how much this show means to him and how I'm "changing the atmosphere." Y'all know how much your encouragement means to me, and this episode is all about that connection we share.

I also opened up about those days when I don't feel like showing up (we all have them!), but then I think about each one of you and who might miss hearing from their Cousin Ed. It's wild to think we have listeners tuning in from places like China - this community is truly global! I talked about expanding to new platforms like Substack and YouTube Shorts because I want to meet y'all where you are and make this content as accessible as possible.

The BIG NEWS? I'm teasing a special Friday episode with an amazing guest that I cannot wait for y'all to hear. I'm even putting a timestamp on it - 8 AM Friday morning! This conversation is going to be something special, and I need y'all to share it with your friends and family because the message is too good to keep to ourselves.

This episode is really about gratitude, community, and the power of showing up for each other. Whether you've been with me since day one or you just found the show, you're part of this family, and there's nothing you can do about it! Tune in, get comfortable, and let's wind down together while we talk about what really matters - the connections that keep us going.
