This is our annual recap episode. We talk about how things went in 2025 and what we’re hoping to see in 2026.

Personal goals for 2026

  • Rick 
    • Getting back to basics
    • Going from reactive to proactive (and surviving to thriving)
    • Shifting from a strategy of playing it safe and reducing risk to taking smart risk and being ok looking a little foolish
  • Tyler 
    • Handle the transition back to full-time work (as it impacts parenting)
    • Find clarity on what level of wealth we’re comfortable exposing our daughter to.
    • Help Shelly find more ways to go out at night while I take care of Syd
    • Finalize will+trust
    • Stretch goal: Start vibe coding personal apps

Professional goals for 2026

    • Outsource, delegate, or automate recurring tasks that I no longer value doing and/or others don’t value me doing

    • Experiment with AI to generate 1 additional revenue stream
  • Tyler 
    • Spend almost all IC time on design, product management, and coding. Fewer distractions!
