A New Chapter: Embracing Change and Closing Doors
For a long time, I've wrestled with this decision, caught in a cycle of hope and hesitation, always yearning to push forward just one more time. I even meticulously crafted a schedule of gigs for the last quarter of 2025, truly believing in the promise of what could be. Yet, as I reflect on my journey, I'm reminded of Paulo Coelho's profound words: "Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity, or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere." This guidance resonates deeply, urging me to embrace change and recognize when it's time to let go of pursuits that no longer serve my growth.
This decision isn't coming from a place of arrogance or a lack of capability. Instead, it's a clear realization that some paths, no matter how familiar, no longer lead to fulfillment. The universe has spoken through this saying, and I've heard its call with clarity: it's time to redirect my energy toward endeavors that truly benefit me.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our cherished patrons, partners, and sponsors who have supported us over the years. Your belief in our vision has fueled my passion and creativity. You've been more than just an audience; you've been an integral part of our journey, sharing in our triumphs and challenges. A special acknowledgment goes to my wife, Liezel Bok whose unwavering support and dedication have been the backbone of our journey. Her partnership has made every challenge surmountable and every triumph even sweeter. Together, we've navigated the ups and downs of running a family business, and her strength has been a constant source of inspiration.
I also want to recognize my family, who have been integral to this experience and have contributed to our shared dreams. Their encouragement and belief in our vision allowed us to create something truly meaningful.
However, it's with a heavy yet resolute heart that I announce the conclusion of our Vocalcast Production era. As we close this chapter, I understand that my energy can be better channeled elsewhere, into new projects that align with my evolving aspirations, new inspirations that spark my creativity, and new beginnings that await on the horizon.
While this chapter closes, I look forward to the possibilities that lie ahead, knowing that by closing certain doors, I'm opening new ones. I'm excited about the new paths that will unfold, the opportunities for growth and discovery, and the chance to redefine my journey with renewed purpose.
Thank you for being part of this adventure, and I look forward to sharing what comes next!
