Hey, hey, what's up my man? It's Sathiya Sam here. Welcome to Unleash the Man Within. Thank you guys so much for listening. I hope you're having an amazing day. Uh, look, today's going to be a little bit of a different episode. There's no promo. There's no A little tidbit. There's no teaser. I'm going to just cut right to the chase.
We got some really exciting and important updates, and I want to fill you guys in on them before you start to see them roll out here. So I've actually been, you know, kind of foreshadowing some of these changes. I've [00:01:00] even talked about them in previous episodes. Um, because I did mention, uh, well, you know what?
Let me give a little bit of context. Um, last year was a really pivotal year for me personally and for the company. We, we grew quite a bit. I wasn't able to sustain the growth, uh, with the way things were working. And so I had to change some structuring in the company and I had to hire a bunch of people.
It was the best thing that I've ever done. Hiring people has made the company a lot more proficient. Uh, we're seeing way more breakthroughs in our coaching programs. Things are running a lot more smoothly on the back end. The team's a lot happier and they're gelling together a lot better. Um, it feels like we're firing on all cylinders.
And one of the things that having a team has allowed me to do is to step back. Uh, not be as involved day to day and have a little bit more bandwidth to just dream about The company in the future and to hear from the lord about where he's taking deep clean And that has been one of the most thrilling experiences of my life And all that kind of culminated when judah my son was born in [00:02:00] october And right around that time I had lots of time off and um, I was great It was great to be with judah and with shaloma and give support at home And at the same time my creative juices were flowing and I was starting to dream about what could be One of the things that came out of that that was just crystal clear is that this podcast that we've kind of built on the side, I mean, on the side is probably not the right language because we've really put a lot of time and energy into it, but it hasn't been the main thing.
It's not putting food on the table for me, so to speak. Um, I really felt the Holy Spirit say, Sophia, this podcast is the gold mine. This is the thing that you are to continue to grow and steward and build up. And so that has really shifted things in my heart to just ask, what can I do to make this a better experience for you guys?
How can we continue to change more people's lives? Do the content that we provide here and we have a plethora of ideas and we're not going to be able to roll all of them out at once, but we're at least going to get started. And so the [00:03:00] first update that comes here is we have hired a podcast agency to take care of all the production company called Proclaim Podcasting.
They've been phenomenal to work with and so you're going to notice an elevation of the quality Just overall the the audio in particular But the video as well, which leads me into my second important update Which is that we are now on YouTube and we're gonna be actively putting basically all of our episodes on there So if you're more of a YouTube person, you like to have things running in the back or maybe while you do work Or you just like the visual.
Uh, I totally get that. And we're going to make sure that you have an opportunity to follow us over there. If you haven't subscribed to us already, the links in the show notes, make sure you check us out over there and that you subscribe, subscribe so that you get informed on all the latest updates here.
Um, and those two things alone are, are really exciting, probably a little bit on the overdue side, if I'm being honest, but I'm still really glad that they're happening. And I know it's going to make for a better experience for you as the listener. Uh, but it's really [00:04:00] the third thing that I'm super. Super, super, super excited to share with you guys.
Um, we are launching a new podcast segment, uh, our new podcast format. And so we will continue to do interviews, um, on Thursdays. We will continue to do solo cast throughout the week. Uh, you might see, uh, some slight shifts there, but nothing, nothing major. Um, but this new format that we're launching is something that has literally been in my heart for probably 15 months, and I just haven't had the bandwidth to pull it off.
And I finally do. And that is to answer listener questions. And I'm super excited about it. We're going to do it in two formats. So one format is going to be just written form. And so we'll be reading off the question and then we'll answer it. That's fun. That's going to be really cool. And again, this will give you guys a chance to submit your questions and get some more clarity and issues that maybe, um, you know, you're not so certain about how to move forward with.
But, uh, we're also going to do some live [00:05:00] coaching, which means, uh, you could come on, uh, join us in the studio, uh, the virtual studio, just to be clear, um, and tell us your question, tell us your issue and your challenge, and we will literally coach you through it. Now, you might notice I am using the word we, and that is because I'm not going to be the only one who does this.
I've invited my lead coach, Sean Bonito, to join me on these episodes and to provide some coaching. He is. Absolutely expert in his field, a lot of wisdom. And, as I'm recording this, we've actually done a couple episodes already just to kind of experiment and see how it felt. They were amazing. And so I'm really, really excited to share them with you.
Um, I think you guys are going to be super blessed and much more importantly, I'm really excited to serve you guys in a much deeper way. Uh, you know, that's one of the funny things about podcasting is I'm in my studio. I hit record and then we kind of launch it into the airwaves and I know you guys are being blessed by it because you're sharing it, you're liking it, you're commenting, you're emailing us and we so appreciate that.
I can't tell you how much we appreciate it, but this is just another [00:06:00] added layer of us getting to know each other more, um, and for you guys to maybe just see that, you know, sometimes I know for me, I think of like a Dave Ramsey who has been doing this for years. He's, he's kind of the quintessential Q and a listener audience question, answer, dude, and.
I learned so much just from watching him answer other people's questions, not just about specific situations, but just seeing his process, seeing how he thinks about things, seeing some of the principles that he returns to when he's solving a problem. It's really, really cool. And so you guys are going to be blessed tremendously.
Even if you don't submit your questions, just watching us answer them is going to help you become a better man. It's going to help you get clarity on your recovery. And it should, it should honestly reflect all the different areas of your life that you're looking to grow and improve. And so I'm, I can't tell you how excited I am about it.
It's going to be fantastic. If you have a question, okay, maybe there's something that's been burning in your heart for a long time, or maybe it's just something recent that's come up where you feel like you hit a wall and you think, you know what, it'd be great for Sathya and Sean to maybe [00:07:00] talk me through this and give me some clarity, give me some guidance.
There's a link in the show notes for you to submit your question. We would love to answer it. And, um, and that is probably the last thing I'll just say in this update is the only way that we know if these are good changes is how you guys respond to them. And you don't have to write us in, although we love it when you write us in, but ratings and reviews.
And sharing the episode, you know, we're going to pay a lot of attention to the numbers around these episodes. And so if you like something and you're like, man, I hope that the, it does more of this, share it with somebody that, that is literally the best way to let us know that you liked it. And it's going to give us a chance to keep doing more of that content.
And so we're going to pay a lot of attention to the metrics. You know, um, those of you that are in business, you know, that you can have a great idea. But you don't know how great it is until you actually take it to the market. And so that's what we're doing. I'm choosing to be transparent with you guys because you've been so loyal to us and I want to be loyal back to you in return.
And so we're going to be paying attention to the numbers. And if you don't like [00:08:00] it, then, you know, ignore it and don't share it, you know, and make sure that the numbers stay low so that we do more of what you like. And less of what you don't like, uh, that's everything guys. I can't tell you how excited I am.
And I just want to invite you to be part of this. You know, that that's what may has made this worthwhile. I can sit in the room and talk to myself. I don't need to hit record. I hit record because of you guys. Uh, cause I believe in you. I see something on your life. And I'm doing everything I can to bring it to pass or to be part of that process of God bringing it to pass.
And so it's an honor to be with you guys. Thank you for your listenership so far. Uh, it's all, it's all gravy from here. It's going to only get better. The quality is going to get better. The content is going to get better. And we're also making some efforts to land some bigger guests in the year ahead as well.
So I hope you stick around, make sure you subscribe on YouTube. If you have a question that you want answered live here, Make sure you submit it much love to you guys. Thanks so much for listening. We'll talk soon.
