In a very tough decision, Mike and Jackson are stepping away from The Big YAC Podcast as of February 7th. The podcast will continue with Nico taking the reins.
Statement from Mike and Jackson:
“For the past year and change, this podcast has been some of the most fun I’ve ever had. When we started this show, I was fresh out of graduating college. With no clear direction, I proposed the idea to Nico and we created something awesome. As time has passed, I’ve accumulated more responsibilities to my life. From changing job career paths to growing my photography business, life has certainly changed. At the end of the week, I’m completely burnt out. I find myself with less time than ever had prior to these changes. I realized my life balance needed to change. So that is why I’m stepping away from the show. I need to get my mental health back I check and perfect this balance of my life. Jackson feels the same as well. He’s transitioned from being in the Navy to working full time and establishing a new career. His schedule also isn’t ideal to fully commit to this podcast long term. Post Super Bowl, Nico will be taking over and we have the upmost confidence he will succeed. We want to thank everyone who has given us the opportunity to speak with them and share our thoughts with to this point. A thank you to the all the subscribers new and old. Thank you to Meranto and Emerge for giving us a home to record. Thank you to Matt Johnson and BICBP Network for letting us be apart of the network. We wish Nico good luck on this upcoming season and future of the podcast. We look forward to see how much The Big YAC grows!” - Mike Paretto & Jackson Krebs.
