A
Foreign. Hey, everyone. Dylan Gemelli here, and you can see that this is not necessarily an episode. This is more of an announcement and a thank you. We're at 50 episodes, and I am kind of shocked how quick the time flies, how many amazing guests that I've had the blessing to have on my show, the people that have been willing to take a risk to come on my show and talk to me, being that, you know, a lot of these people came on when I was just starting out, and some of the bigger names especially, they don't tend to do that, but they had the belief in me and what I would become. And I feel like we're just barely getting started and scratching the surface here, but I couldn't do it. One, without God and the support of my wife and my family, but then two, with all of the amazing people that have supported me, encouraged me, followed me, and, you know, even given constructive criticism, and I'm always up for that. You're never going to hurt my feelings by telling me I could do something better or improve it. I can always do something better. We all always can. I want it all. I'm not here for praise, and you're so great. I'm here to learn how to get better so I can help everybody else get better. And, you know, I'm always looking for ways to improve and help everybody and to deliver that message that I was put here to do. You know, I finally figured out what I was put here by God to do, and it's taken me many years of fighting with myself and making a million mistakes, but I have a purpose, just like everybody else, and I finally figured mine out, and it's to help each and every one of you to live the healthiest and happiest lives possible, to extend quality of life and to bring joy and happiness to all of you in the best way possible. And I believe that I can do that by being genuine, by bringing on great guests and by putting the guests first. You know, getting to this point, I waited years studying different kinds of podcasts and the art and form of talking to people, learning about people. You know, I don't have any guests come on here without talking to me. I don't script anything. It's just that I take guests so serious that I want to get to know them a little bit first. I want to learn about their passions. I want to build a rapport with people so that when we come on, we. We have something to go with, and the. The conversation is amazing for everybody. And we. We don't have Those episodes where you're sitting there scratching your head like, what? What is this? What's going on? You don't have to sit with somebody for hours and hours and hours and script everything out and write everything out, but if you can learn what drives somebody, what they're passionate about, you know, what their background is, you can put time and effort into learning about them. And the conversation is so real and so meaningful. And that's what's led us up to where we are now and where we're going today. And I want to announce that I have a big 50th episode coming out with Dave Osprey. It's a huge episode for me. It's a really good one. I think that you guys are going to absolutely love it, you know, and we're hitting 50 now. It's going to be a hundred before you know it, and I hope it just goes on forever. And I am going to continue to do every single thing I can to bring you the best guests, to be the best I can possibly be, that entertains everybody, that keeps you engaged and keeps you focused on what it is so special about my guest and how we can help all of you and whatever their specialty is or their. Their love and passions about what they're good at. And I want to be able to ask the right questions, to give the right conversations, to do the right things in terms of relatability, and to just give you the most comprehensive and genuine conversation and breakdown possible. You can always count on me for that. You can always count on me to keep it as real as possible. You know me right now, if you follow me, you get what you get. I'm the same on and off camera. I am who I am and I don't. I don't sugarcoat it or front it. It's always not going to be for everybody, but I hope it is for most that you always know that you're getting who Dylan Jamel really, truly is. So I just want to thank everybody for helping me get here. Like I said, I am barely getting started and I can't even imagine where we're going to go from here. But I do know this. By God's grace and by the support of all of you, possibilities are endless. So stay tuned for plenty more to come and the biggest gratitude and appreciation to all of you. Dylan Gemelli signing off.
