Purple Pants Podcast | October’s Premonition: The Season You’re In October is calling for a check-in. This month, Brice and Gary reflect on the boundaries we’ve built, the lessons we’ve carried, and what happens when we finally stop to ask: Is this still working for me?

Just because summer used to be your season doesn’t mean it always will be. Maybe you’ve grown. Maybe your season has changed. And with Gary pulling the Ace of Flags in reverse, October reminds us that sometimes growth isn’t about pushing forward, but recognizing what no longer fits and being open to what does.
