From Solo Monologues To Live Conversations On Personal Growth

A new season begins with a bold shift: we’re moving from solo reflections to live, guest-driven conversations that bring personal growth to life. The mission hasn’t changed—growth, mindfulness, and productivity remain at the center—but the format now invites more voices, more questions, and more practical takeaways you can use today.

I share a candid update about a major contract ending and how that uncertainty pushed me to redesign the show for deeper value. We walk through what stays, what evolves, and why: live Substack streams where you can join the conversation in real time; curated audio versions for the podcast feed; and a clear boundary that keeps marketing and audience growth chats off this podcast so the core stays focused. You’ll hear from mindful people who’ve built resilient habits, navigated crossroads, and aligned their work with their values—and together we’ll unpack the systems behind their progress.

Expect clarity without fluff, stories with substance, and tools you can apply to your own season of change. I’ll still jump in with occasional solo moments when a topic needs a direct, personal touch. More than anything, this chapter is about breaking the wall between host and community—closer connection, honest dialogue, and shared momentum toward meaningful goals.

New Season Announcement

SPEAKER_00 0:00

The new season starts. Today is a special short episode. Because the podcast will feature guests again guys. You know, as you know, I always follow my energy. I love what I do with my podcast. I love journey to success. But over time I try to understand what is best for it, you know. Anyway, no worries. I'm sure I will be back to do solo podcasting one day, or who knows. I can still jump in during this session. But for now, I decided to invite mindful people who talk about personal growth on my Substack, so Journey to Success Club, and share their journey to success. Alright, so we're going to have uh live conversations in a stream, and some of these discussions, guys, will be converted into audio for the journey to success podcast. Alright, for the journey to success, uh the one that you know basically here in this um uh in this uh let's say island. As always, anyway. Anyway, my name is Fabio from Journey to Success and Welcome. This change, guys, will not impact the core of what we do, okay? The essence remains the same. So it's personal growth, personal development, productivity, but this time with insights from uh knowledgeable human beings. But I'm still here and my voice is still present. And you can also watch me on Soupstack live streams where I invite guests to discuss topics related to personal growth. And these live streams will be translated into podcast episodes later, okay, in audio format as well. So I'm not gonna do even if you know even if the journey to success in the journey to success club in the community were gonna do live streams, as I say, this is not gonna change the core of the podcast. So they're gonna be still audio episodes, okay? Another point, another point that I want to highlight. I also plan to host experts on audience growth and marketing strategies, specifically focus on growing uh on Substack in Substack still. So these discussions will only be available as streaming content on Substack and will not be turned into podcast episodes. Okay, so there is no need to worry. So, as I mentioned earlier, the core of the podcast will remain unchanged, and uh I'm not going to transform this mindful island, you know, our island, into a marketing platform. That's not my my idea, of course. It's just an optimization, a big optimization. So in Journey to Success Clap, the community in Substack, we're gonna do live streams, and all of you guys can interact as well if you are subscribed, if you are subscribers, and some of these live streams they're gonna be are gonna be translated into audio episodes. Okay, so I'm gonna convert it in audio episodes, and uh you're gonna hear them uh here as always. So as you can see, everything will continue as before. I know it's a big change, but I actually like it. I like it because finally a journey to success clap and the journey to success are you know they are one thing. You know, it's it's gonna be a good, it's gonna be a nice thing in my opinion, you know. So it's gonna be something very very interesting. Last thing, I mentioned the in the previous episode, guys, uh I mentioned the uh dismissal of my contract for external reasons, you know, about the the the the company I was I was there, I was working. So my my group basically was working with this client, a client everyone knows, also the stones, but I cannot say the name. And the client is uh terminating uh their contract with our company, and consequently, they're also ending our contract. However, it wasn't really clear which direction they want to take with us, so I promised to inform you as soon as I had more information. And yes, I have some information, and evidently this will be just a quick financial exit, you know, as they call it. So they ask us to fill out a form in case they can find other opportunities for us within the company, because anyway the company has uh different clients, but I honestly don't have much hope. And my career in this company may be coming to an end. I've been investing uh heavily in my financial freedom, honestly, uh, through my podcast project and Soupstack. So even though I felt unease, of course, when I received the news, the truth is I was already investing in myself, you know, and uh let's say I expect the news, but I also generally am a positive person, so I'm good. I'm actually very good. Yes, this change in direction with my podcast is especially influenced by this significant transition in my life. In fact, I was brainstorming, you know, how to leverage uh the the podcast and the soup stack, and here and here we are basically. So again, uh, while the episodes in the podcast will remain the same, you know, for permont, focusing on personal growth as always, but just with mindfulness people, I've decided at the same time to start a new live streaming series on Soupstack, which surely can give more value to the community, you know, and on my part may lead to more subscribers, of course. And more subscribers means more financial stability for me. And at the same time, as I said, I I really I'm gonna really optimize the podcast and I'm gonna make sure that you'll be happy with the result. And about the solo podcasting, because that's the only thing we are gonna remove from uh this uh project, right? I'm sure that sometimes I I will jump in, you know, to do some solo podcasting. So I really like to talk with you guys. I I always imagine you, you know, in front of me, and uh and they'll do the same. I'll do the same uh with uh the the guest I the the the the the guest I'm going to to collaborate with. So anyway, this is a new day, this is new dawn thinking about Michael Boublet, and this is new beginning, all right? Please know that I'm always here for you, and I will not leave. I'm always here, and uh no matter the the the challenges we face, and I hope this can serve as inspiration as well for some of you. Yes, things come to an end, guys. But at the same time, new beginnings always arise, okay? It is up to to you, it is up to us to to decide how to start our new journey. Now I want to hear from you. As I say, this was a special short episode, and from the next one uh will be with my first guest. So what about you? How do you feel about the change in your life right now? What new beginning are you being invited to step into? Even if it feels uncertain, you know? Send me a message, as always. Share your story, connect, connect with me on Soupstack, and now you can also see me, you can also watch my my live streaming. So I'm very, very happy. We can interact better with each other. Also, this I'm gonna be closer with my community, community. I'm so happy. Also, these guys are really try to break, you know, this wall between uh between the guest, sorry, between the the host and the community. Uh, because especially, especially in the podcast, it's very hard for most most of the host to really connect, you know, heart by heart with the community. That's not my case, I have to say, but I know that I'm gonna be closer to you and uh with the live streams, and I can't wait for that. And uh uh what else? Uh what else? Uh yeah, just as I said, send me a message, uh you know uh if you like it, and uh if you want to share your story or connect with me on Substack as always, I would genuinely love to hear where you are on your journey, as always. And if today's episode, even if you know, it was just uh a small news for me. But if today somehow uh still resonated with you, alright, please subscribe so you don't miss what is coming in this new season. And uh, if you're not someone who is going through a transition, like I uh you know, like I'm going through, or needs a reminder that endings can lead to uh meaningful beginnings, share this episode with them. Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you so much. Thank you for being here on Journey to Success. Together, guys, we keep choosing growth, honesty, and courage. One step at a time.
