🎙️ I’M BACK — THE YEAR I ALMOST GAVE UP
After being away from Life of a Filmmaker and Photographer for over a year, Manny is finally back behind the microphone.
In this deeply personal comeback episode, Manny opens up about why he stepped away from the podcast and reflects on one of the hardest seasons of his life. Starting last summer, life became extremely difficult, and Manny found himself at some of his lowest points emotionally and mentally.
Rather than come back and pretend everything was okay, he chose to step away because he believes this podcast should always be honest, real, and authentic.
Manny also talks about how that difficult season brought him closer to God and his family, changed his perspective on life, and helped him understand that sometimes stepping away is part of rebuilding yourself.
He also shares an exciting new chapter in his creative journey: his first book, Blood Covenant, coming this fall on Amazon.
Most importantly, Manny takes a moment to sincerely apologize and say thank you to everyone who continued to support the podcast while he was gone.
He missed you.
He missed creating.
And now…
HE’S BACK.
This is more than a new episode.
This is a comeback.
