Happy New Year and welcome to the first episode of 2026. In this solo episode, we kick off the year by focusing on clarity, alignment, and intentional goal setting—specifically for entrepreneurs, leaders, and high-performing humans who want to make this year count.

The conversation centers on how to regain focus, reduce distraction, and design a year that is driven by purpose rather than noise. Drawing insights from powerful books like The One Thing, Indistractable, and Atomic Habits, this episode explores how simplifying priorities and building consistent habits can create meaningful progress over the next 12 months.

You’ll hear a practical breakdown of how to:

Get clear on what you truly want from 2026

Set goals across key life pillars such as business, family, and health

Use the SMART framework to make goals specific, measurable, and achievable

Break annual goals into quarterly and weekly actions

Avoid overplanning the short term while underestimating long-term potential

Revisit and realign your personal values as you start the year

Choose guiding words and build a vision board to stay focused and motivated

The episode also touches on real-world challenges entrepreneurs are facing—business partner issues, team changes, and organizational shifts due to AI—and how intentional planning and value alignment can help you navigate them more effectively.

This is a reflective yet highly actionable episode designed to help you start 2026 with focus, structure, and momentum.

Here’s to an intentional, aligned, and successful year ahead. Let’s go.
