In this off the cuff episode, Alex and Alison discuss how their business is doing, what things they are and aren't taking on this year and some life updates. 

On today's episode, we dive in to goal setting and accountability partners. Finding an accountability partner or coach that works for you is sometimes like finding a needle in a haystack. We talk through a bit about the book "The 12-Week Year,"  how to find an accountability partner, how Alison and her accountability partner meet weekly, what they go over in their meetings, and how consistent checking in has changed our businesses. HUGE shout out to Alison's accountability partner Peggy Todd! We love you!
