An Update From the Team
<p>This episode of Roots to Rafters is a behind-the-scenes check-in.</p> <p>Instead of sharing a guest story or family history, Rachel Dunham sits down with Michael Marty and Luke Layton to talk honestly about what it has taken to build this podcast, what has flowed, what has been harder than expected, and why the team decided to take a short pause to reset.</p> <p>They unpack the realities of launching a mission-driven creative project while juggling full-time work, learning new systems, and holding space for stories that carry real emotional weight. This conversation explores perfectionism, vulnerability, pride, patience, and the internal growth that inevitably comes when you try to build something meaningful.</p> <p>This is not a step back. It's a recalibration.</p> <p>In this episode, you'll hear about:<br /> • Why we paused to stop chasing the clock<br /> • What's been working and what we've had to rethink<br /> • The pressure of telling sensitive stories well<br /> • Lessons learned from early episodes and workflows<br /> • What listeners can expect next, including more consistency and deeper storytelling</p> <p>Thank you for being here and for trusting the process as this story continues to take shape.</p> <p> Subscribe for weekly video releases and upcoming episodes.</p> <p>Disclaimer: This podcast shares personal stories and experiences for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional legal, medical, or mental health advice.</p> <p>rootstorafterspodcast.com</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
