Where There’s Smoke is a weekly podcast that explores self-development through the filter of current events, pop culture, and experience. We surf the zeitgeist through an array of audio clips, quotes, concepts, and conversations.

What would it take for this to be your best year ever?

That said, what is a year? Is it the days between January 1st and December 31st? Or is it any 12 month span of time? And does it even matter?

Are cassette tapes coming back? Could Nick rock Steve Harvey’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve outfit? And why is it...
