After 79 Episodes and Five Years, Serenity Now Signs Off With Reflections on Building a Podcast Legacy

After five years and 79 episodes, Serenity Now for Entrepreneurs is signing off with one final conversation. A bittersweet post.

The latest episode brings together hosts Rita Kim, Candace Nancke, and Peggy Aulenback, along with editor Robert Puharich, to reflect on a podcast that started as a COVID-era passion project and has become a repository of unfiltered entrepreneurial wisdom you won’t find in business school.

From the vulnerability of redefining “normal” as a business owner to the tactical brilliance of guests like Kasha, who transformed a generational business with a name change that makes 80% of 2.5 million annual passersby turn around, these conversations captured what it’s really like to run a business when there’s no one else to talk to.

The hosts discuss their most impactful episodes, including the widely viewed “no-asshole rule” discussion and insights from Olympic coach Shawnee, while acknowledging the lonely reality of entrepreneurship and explaining why creating this resource mattered.

If you’ve ever felt isolated in your business decisions or wondered whether your struggles are normal, this finale offers both validation and a roadmap to 79 episodes of practical, honest entrepreneurial storytelling that will remain available long after this final sign-off.

An episode to remember and one that wasn’t easy to record.
