    You NEVER Know Who You Are Impacting

    Last week Ryan had 20 presentations to over 9,000 students. He knows not every student will listen, but even if it impacts one, it was worth. Both AJ and Ryan's have been speaking more and share on that experience.

Sad To Say I’m Starting To Lose Interest

Let my start by saying that I have been a loyal listener to the podcast for the last 5 years. I have also enjoyed following Ryan & AJ on their other platforms for just as long. However, I must admit I am starting to lose interest in what was once, HANDS DOWN my favorite podcast to tune in to! Now I am sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. It seems as when Ryan fully stepped down from being a LEO, the show started to really deteriorate in the consistent, reliable podcast episodes. I fully get life happens, we get busy etc but man just take a look at the last years podcast episode dates compared to the year prior.

If you guys aren’t going to be doing the podcast with as much effort and consistency just come out and say it upfront. It’s frustrating to see how it seems y’all are giving up on it. You guys have mentioned before how you’re sorry about this and that and that you’ll continue to drop episodes but never follow through. “We’ll see y’all next week! Peace” is how each podcast ends and then it never happens.

And I’m sure this will be read on the next episode of the podcast, and that’s ok. Maybe it will catch your guys attention and can share with the listeners to see if others agree. Maybe Ryan and AJ should have their own separate podcast. It seems most of the decisions on ItsNeeded are made by Ryan anyway.

Starting to give up on this podcast

Just come out and say you guys are no longer going to do the podcast. People would rather be told you’re moving on to do something else rather than check if you post a new episode each week. I’ve been listening to you guys for a while now and there’s one thing that I’ve notice is that you start something but won’t follow through with it. This podcast is starting to be that example.
