Not Done Yet
Not Done Yet
Real people. Real struggles. And the strength to keep moving forward.
Not Done Yet is a podcast about the messy middle — the setbacks, struggles, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward. Each week, host Quincy Simon shares raw, unfiltered conversations with people in the middle of their journey. From street-level stories captured in the moment to deeper sit-down interviews, this show reminds us that success isn’t just about the finish line — it’s about the fight to keep going.
We have two primary choices in life. We can either accept conditions as they exist. Or we can take the responsibility to change them. That is what Not Done Yet is all about.
