Episode Details

In Episode 224 of the Pu’u Muay Thai Podcast, Jonathan Puu makes a statement that will stop most listeners in their tracks: “I’m quitting the podcast.”

After six years, hundreds of episodes, and tens of thousands of listeners, Jonathan pulls back the curtain on a question most creators, gym owners, and long-term builders eventually face — when the math stops making sense, why keep going?

This episode isn’t clickbait. It’s an honest reflection on:

• Why quitting felt logical after years of consistent work
• The hidden costs of podcasting, production, and opportunity loss
• The parallels between almost quitting Muay Thai early on and almost quitting the podcast now
• Why most people quit after they’ve put in real effort, not at the beginning
• Sunk cost fallacy, patience gaps, and the danger of invisible progress
• What it actually takes to build something cultural, not viral
• The difference between passive listeners and an active community

Jonathan explains why this moment feels familiar, what Muay Thai taught him about staying past the “reasonable quitting point,” and why this episode isn’t about walking away — but about deciding what the podcast becomes next.

This is a raw conversation about staying when applause is quiet, building something that matters, and why real projects don’t survive on attention alone — they survive on alignment and support.

If this podcast has ever helped you, entertained you, or given you perspective on Muay Thai, leadership, or long-term commitment, this episode explains why now is the moment that matters most.
