Hey everyone,
It's been about six weeks since my dad passed, and before getting back into work and regular podcasting, I just felt like I needed to say something.
This isn't a heavy episode, it's not some deep emotional dive, it's just me sharing where my head's been and giving a bit of context before I move forward.
Thanks to everyone who's reached out. The love and support have honestly meant the world.
Jack
