Celebrating the launch of season five of The Trend Report podcast feels like commemorating a personal milestone, one filled with the voices and stories that have shaped not just the show, but me as well. As I look back at the path traveled, I'm thrilled to bring you recollections from the very first CEO chat with Chris Evanstad, to the heart-warming and challenging tales of family and resilience, like the one of Evan Lagueruela stepping up to lead Trinity Furniture during his father's health crisis. It's these narratives, filled with wisdom and courage, that form the core of what we've built together, and set the stage for the enlightening discussions that await us in this season.

Every episode is a new avenue for discovery, and this season, you'll be invited to explore the concept of the "zone of genius"—that sweet spot where passion meets talent—and how embracing it can lead to unforeseen joy and success. The conversations with guests like Dianne Murata, alongside many others who have brought their insights to our platform, will leave you inspired to identify your own unique strengths.

As we delve into these rich stories of perseverance, legacy, and reinvention, I am reminded of the power of sharing and the profound impact it has had on my life and, hopefully, on yours. Join me on this continuing adventure, where the lessons learned are as meaningful as they are inspiring.
