This episode is different. For the first time, I'm sharing my personal story—the journey that explains everything about who I am and why I'm making a big change. I've always been a private person on the podcast, but to explain this new chapter, I want to share the full context. I talk about being forced to leave school at 14, finding English as my lifeline, and building a career in Educational Technology. I also get transparent about the realities of operating a global brand from Lebanon, and how that has led me to a new, exciting, and more sustainable direction. In this episode, you will hear about: My personal journey and why "English" has always had a "Plus." My decision to return to my professional field of Educational Technology. The great consolidation: English Plus is becoming my single, unified passion project for all my writing, music, and creative ideas. My core identity as a writer and how this new structure will honor it. An honest look at the challenges for creators in Lebanon and why your support is so crucial. Support This New Journey on Patreon As I explained in the episode, I'm committed to keeping all this content free. However, because I live in Lebanon, I have no access to PayPal or Stripe. My Patreon page is the single, only possible way you can support this show and my work as a creator. If you find value in my work and want to help me build this new chapter, please consider becoming a patron. Join the Patreon Community: https://patreon.com/dannyballan
