Script:

Hi everyone, I’m starting something new today: a flexible 30‑day microcast challenge, posting on weekdays.

I decided to try this as I probably won’t have time to do these concurrently next year. So I might as well make the most of it while I still can.

I’ve actually set myself two 30‑day challenges.

One here, on this microcast, where I’ll share reflections in my own voice outside of analytics and social media algorithms.

And another that’s ongoing on YouTube (@JessWriting), where I’ve been posting short videos. I don’t think I made any announcement over there about that one—I’ve just been posting to keep up the momentum.

Side Note: Here’s one of my nature shorts of a deer in the backyard! 🦌

I’m winding down from a recent road trip, and honestly, the second‑to‑last place I visited caught me off guard. I underestimated it, and that means I’ve got some adventure stories to tell.

For me, the microcast and blog notes are the reflective version of these stories. They’re slower and more thoughtful.

The YouTube videos are the raw, on‑the‑go captures. Those short videos are like outdoor journaling, which I’d never done before, but it turned into a fun and interesting experiment.

So that’s the start. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing stories, reflections, and experiments in voice.

Thanks for listening, and I’ll see you tomorrow.
