In this episode, we bid farewell to "The Accidental Creative" podcast, which has been the home for my insights and teaching over the past 18 years.

The decision to retire the brand was driven by the desire for a name that better encapsulates the show's core message and offerings, as well as a new vision for the podcast's format and content.

"The Accidental Creative" will be transformed into a new show called "Daily Creative," focusing on providing story and teaching-driven content centered around themes relevant to creativity, problem-solving, and effective leadership. The podcast will no longer be ad-supported and will seek to be listener-supported. Additionally, a new Daily Creative app will be introduced, offering subscribers access to bonus materials, insights, courses, and more.

If you've been a fan of "The Accidental Creative," be sure to play the first episode of "Daily Creative" upon its release to ensure proper subscription and visibility. Additionally, access to the back episodes of "The Accidental Creative" will only be available until January 1, 2024.

Finally, the change marks a significant shift for the show after almost two decades, and we are grateful for the listeners who have been part of this journey. We invite you to share your thoughts and feedback as we embark on this new chapter with "Daily Creative."

Key learnings from the episode:

1. The decision to retire "The Accidental Creative" and introduce "Daily Creative" was driven by the need for a brand that more accurately reflects the podcast's core message.

2. "Daily Creative" will feature story and teaching-driven content around timely themes to provide value to the audience.

3. The show will shift from being ad-supported to being listener-supported and will introduce the Daily Creative app, offering subscribers access to additional content and materials.

4. Listeners are encouraged to play the first episode of "Daily Creative" upon release and to access back episodes of "The Accidental Creative" before January 1, 2024.

5. The shift marks a new phase for the podcast, and your feedback and engagement are highly valued as the show continues to evolve.
