Key Topics:

• Thanking the community and reflecting on the growth of the podcast
• Navigating holiday fatigue and the unpredictability of New Year plans
• The tough decision to cancel and reschedule a race, and the logistics behind it
• Lessons learned from handling setbacks and the value of clear communication
• Deep dive into New Year’s resolutions: why the hosts don’t set them, and the importance of self-reflection over arbitrary goals

• The difference between setting realistic, incremental goals versus lofty resolutions
• The impact of entrepreneurship on personal relationships and self-identity
• Encouragement for listeners to take inventory of their lives, reflect on who they are, and make meaningful changes any day of the year—not just January 1st
