Happy New Year, Expanders!!

We are back and READY to make 2025 the best year yet!

John and Erik have chosen their words for the year — and they’re good ones: Sovereignty and Magic? Yes. Yes. Yes.

They talk about Gstaad Guy’s recent interview, the changing landscape of marketing, and how John has unfollowed all news outlets on social media to independently think this year without any distractions!

The guys discuss their optimism surrounding 2025, emphasizing the importance of personal growth and digital detox. They explore the rapid advancements in AI and the implications for content creators, as well as the potential for revolutionary changes in society.

Erik tells us about his personal “retreat” day he did to close out 2024 — which we’ll hear more about in the next episode!!

As always, we’re so happy to be back doing what we love with our amazing community! This is going to be a GREAT year — let’s do this!
