Thirty days of posting more taught me a few things—and chasing every successful post isn’t how I want to build this.

This week, I’m talking about the social media experiment, the frustration of inconsistent results, and why my rehearsal rig needs to get simpler so I can spend more time singing and playing.

Plus: house repairs, finding an off switch for content creation, and discovering that Hallmark ornaments have a secret society. Apparently, buying my wife a tiny reindeer requires insider connections.

It’s another week of building Five IV and figuring out what works for me.

I called Van Halen hair metal. The comments went about how you’d expect. But did all that debating actually help?

For the 30th episode of The Chronicles of Shred, I’m back at the desk with a better studio setup, six weeks of gym consistency and nearly 15 pounds down. I’m also catching a familiar pattern: things start working, and I immediately want to go overboard—including with vocal practice.

Plus, a potential light show purchase turns into an urgent $1,000 loan request, people are asking to be guests on the podcast, and apparently I’m a hockey fan now.

Another week of building FIVE IV and figuring things out as I go.

Would you like to see occasional guests on the show? Let me know in the comments.

Six weeks of consistency, a studio setup finally coming together, progress in the gym, and a reminder that sometimes the boring work really does start to pay off.

This week on The Chronicles of Shred, I’m talking about what happens when the little things start stacking up and the rebuild starts feeling real.
