I spent this past morning thinking about 2025 and how to move through 2026. From it I have a bunch or questions and reflections I performed which I felt were helpful. In today’s episode I discuss them in 5 sections: the zoomer-outer, the gooder, the less than idealer, the limiter & the futurer. I think adding the “er” to everything makes them legit.
