John the 🐐

Hi Reddit on Wiki! I started listening to the pod earlier around February 2023. Just wanted to say thank you for being there to keep me awake throughout many long nights during school. I was able to get a job as a graphic designer and now I get to listen to the Patreon at work!

There was an episode a while back where John talked about his military background. It really resonated with me being Filipino with a father in the military, who also struggled with substance abuse. It is hard and years later I am still dealing with the anxiety that plagued me as a kid. To John, i just want to express how impactful and inspiring your vulnerability is. I struggle with having a less cynical and bitter view of people and the world too, and I am glad this podcast has helped you have a more hopeful outlook.

Also to the team, the livestream meetup was totally worth it and amazing and entertaining, please don’t be hard on yourself!

Thank you! Lots of love from San Diego 🫶
