It feels surreal to announce that this is the 200th episode of “I Have SOMETHING to Say”, especially as co-hosts Chris Majocha, Dr. Xaulanda Simmonds-Emmanuel and Samí Haiman-Marrero reflect on the ups and downs of this journey that started in 2018. The initial planning happened on a business road trip, with a call to Chris to figure out what we needed from a technical standpoint to launch. They agree in that, "Sometimes the best ideas come when you just unplug and take a long drive."
But the growth and evolution of the show, and its impact, have been driven by the diverse range of guests as well as the topics and industries covered. The importance of providing a platform for people to speak up and share their perspectives during the past 5 years regarding the good, bad, and ugly we have experienced personally, professionally, and as a nation, cannot be overstated. We’ve been through A LOT…all of us…yes, including you.
In this episode, the co-hosts express their hopes for the future of the podcast and their commitment to continue creating valuable content by adding special “Issues2Impact” programs into the mix. They openly share some of the major changes they have experienced since starting the podcast and how it has influenced their perspectives. They discuss becoming parents, empty nesters, and business owners, and how these roles have shaped their outlook on life and work…their priorities and purpose.
And while they ask themselves "Who knows where this journey is going to take us?", they also highlight that their advocacy voices have grown stronger. This has been the biggest reward, and for this, they are grateful to each other, their guests and everyone who has tuned in to share space, collaborate, have honest conversations, and support this podcast. As Chris points out, "I think being able to commit to something like a podcast for as long as we have 200 episodes and to put ourselves out there…we could have never done this alone."
