We catch up on Kaylie since episode one, talk about last 2 years of Kevin Unscripted and answer some questions submitted from listeners
Kevin Unscripted Podcast reaches a milestone with the release of Episode 100, I deeply appreciate the support and want to extend my heartfelt gratitude.
I am a strong believer in giving acknowledgments and recognizing the numerous individuals involved in the journey of a small podcast. This acknowledgment, lengthy but important:
– Firstly, to my wife, for her endless patience and understanding of the commitments involved in this journey.
– To my family members, who are not just natural supporters but also genuine motivators and have even participated in Kevin Unscripted Episodes 1, 3, 4, 51, and 57. Colin Willeboordse, you have the right to say ‘I told you so.’
– Every single guest who placed their trust in us and invested their time, especially those who physically came to the studio to record.
– To our listeners and viewers – your engagement means the world, and without you, this would never be possible.
– A special thanks to Mike Sabourin at work for his flexibility and support, enabling me to balance all consuming commitments to the Oil Patch and the Podcast. The challenge of working around this element is not underestimated or taken for granted, especially in the Oil/Gas Industry. Working close to home and taking time off when needed has been a rare privilege in our field. (Rare, Like spotting albino Bigfoot)

Since episode one, there has been a long list of people contributing to the growth of the Podcast and pushing it to the next level. Guests who have become friends, enriching this experience, and listeners who have shown support by suggesting topics, making guest connections, and sharing stories that need to be told.
I hope I haven’t overlooked anyone. Your contributions and support have been instrumental in our journey and, at times, truly humbling. They’ve helped me push through doubts and continue on this experience. I can’t wait to share what’s next!
