## Resource

In this episode, I share why I’m changing how The Will Spencer Podcast works—and where it’s headed next. After five years of interviews, something has shifted. I talk about moving from a posture of learning into a season of teaching, why interviews will become less frequent, and what kind of original content I’ll be creating going forward. I also introduce a new book club launching in January, explain why I’m investing more deeply in Substack, and share what led me to begin mentoring men directly. This is a short, honest update about growth, responsibility, and what it looks like to build something with intention over time. Thanks for being here.
