It's a Wrap: A Year of The Download

About Time — Episode 52 | Season One Finale

A year. 52 episodes. One step ahead.

In this milestone episode of The Download, Jill Marshall marks the end of Season One and the completion of a full year of weekly publishing - a creative commitment that became far more than a podcast.

This episode is a reflection on showing up before you’re ready, building a creative playground without chasing metrics, and discovering what happens when you let intuition, curiosity, and craft lead the way. Jill reflects on what the past year has taught her about creativity, voice, time, technology, and trust - including how AI has supported (and occasionally misled) the process, and why perfection was never the point.

As the season closes, the conversation turns to time itself - not just the linear kind measured in weeks and episodes, but Kairos: the moment when everything aligns and something new is ready to emerge.

Season One ends here.
 But The Download isn’t finished - it’s evolving.

✨ If you’ve listened along this year, thank you.
 ✨ If you’re new, this is the perfect place to begin.

In this episode:

• Why “shipping before perfect” changed everything
• The power of making the main thing the main thing
• Creativity as a playground, not a performance
• Reclaiming voice, confidence, and joy through weekly practice
• What AI can (and can’t) do for creative work
• Why time isn’t always linear — and what Kairos really means
• What’s next for The Download in Season Two
