Here we are at the last episode of 2025, our 10th year of the podcast. For the last episode of the year, I usually try to focus on reflections about lessons learned, tough decisions, and pivots that are happening. My intent today is to be transparent and share in a “fireside chat” format. Take a pause with me, sit back, and think about your business as we approach the end of 2025.

You’ll Learn:

• The underlying question to ask: “How do I build something that lasts without losing myself in the process?”
• Announcement about closing STC Elite, our mastermind that has lasted for 4 years
• Closing the mastermind, all related to my stress level, focus, and mental clarity
• “Sometimes, the highest ROI decision we can make in our businesses is subtraction.”
• Feedback about concerns over the $9K investment
• Highlights of a new membership site, Haven, launching in January 2026 (A much more affordable option!) Find out more and join the interest list. 
• The Quiet Builder Newsletter: How this movement resonates with so many people
• What’s coming up for me in the form of courses, books, and new platforms to create space for my clinical skills
• My tip: Create your first course to support your enduring identity.
• Factors in life that go beyond business
• Choosing clarity over complexity
• Legacy, stewardship, and charitable giving
