🎙️ Announcement from Common Cents: The Podcast 🎙️

After three incredible years of sharing stories, insights, and laughs, we're pressing pause to bring you a bolder, better version of the show you love. 💡✨

We’ve officially entered a hiatus as we re-tool Common Cents from the ground up. When we return, it’ll be as a dynamic duo—Biz and I teaming up full-time to bring deeper dives, curated segments, and expert voices to the mic.

What’s Changing?
🔹 Pre-recorded, high-quality 1-hour episodes
🔹 Themed series exploring specific topics
🔹 Fresh segments and guest experts
🔹 More thoughtful production and storytelling

This isn’t goodbye—it’s a creative reset. 🙏 We are so grateful to every listener who has supported us along the way. Your encouragement over the last three years has meant the world. ❤️

We can’t wait to welcome you back to a refreshed and refocused version of Common Cents: The Podcast soon.

Stay tuned. 🎧
