Podcast Over. Marriage Over. But Here's What's Next

Podcast Over. Marriage Over. But Here's What's Next

Author: Chris Smith August 25, 2025 Duration: 20:57

Hey, it's Chris — and this episode is unlike any I've ever done.

I'm pulling back the curtain on everything:

Yes, Podtastic Audio is officially coming to an end. Yes, my marriage is over. But... something new is starting. And I'm more excited than ever.

In this bonus episode, I get real about the personal struggles I've been navigating — divorce, selling the house, stepping away from podcasting — and how all of that led me to my next big project: Cool Cars with Chris 🚗🔥

If you've ever hit rock bottom and wondered how to rebuild from something you love — this one's for you.

🚘 What We Talk About:

  • Why Podtastic Audio had to end
  • How my divorce changed everything
  • What inspired Cool Cars with Chris
  • My lifelong obsession with cars, off-roading, and motorsports
  • The plan: YouTube, podcasting, interviews, 4K video, and more
  • Building from scratch — gear, guests, Instagram, and going viral
  • Why I'm more motivated now than ever before

Whether you've been with me since the start or just found this show, thank you. I hope you'll join me in the driver's seat for this next chapter. – Chris
