Before I invited anyone into my new Discord —
Before I even publicly announced what I was building —
I recorded three voice notes. No script. No edit. Just me, talking it out.

That’s what this 31-minute drop is.
The beginning of CrossRoads Interviews and Editorials.
The first layer of The Chat Community.
The reset.

You’ll hear me talk about:

• Burnout and why I had to shift directions

• Wrestling without the noise

• Building with purpose

• The truth about creating in public

• And why Discord, not Twitter, is where the real conversation starts

💬 What comes next?

This is Part 1, and it’s free.
Future voice notes will be posted here early for supporters — before they ever hit YouTube, Substack, or anywhere else. Some may stay exclusive. Some may lead directly to community convos.

And if you want to join the private Discord — The Chat Community — supporting here is the best way in.

You’ll get:
✅ A special role inside Discord
✅ Access to future supporter-only drops
✅ Member threads, Q&A, and whatever comes next

Thanks for being here.
Thanks for supporting my pivot — and this next chapter.
