As we approach the end of the year, it’s time to reflect on 2024 and set meaningful goals for 2025. In this solo episode, Jay discusses a common mistake people make when setting goals: focusing solely on outcomes rather than the experiences they wish to create. Jay introduces a three-step framework to help you reflect on the past year, identify the experiences you want in the coming year, and align your goals with those desired experiences. This approach emphasizes life as a series of enriching moments rather than a checklist of accomplishments. Jay also outlines seven key life categories—career / business, finances, personal growth, relationships, hobbies / free time, health / well-being, and community—that serve as a foundation for reflection and planning. With practical insights and a clear process, this episode equips you to set intentional, fulfilling goals for the new year. Notable Quotes “Life is a series of experiences.
