We wanted the last episode of this year to be a little different. There will not be a leadership principle, and there's not going to be a question that we're trying to answer. But in this episode, I think we want to talk to each other and talk to our community as the year winds down. To give us the opportunity to reflect a little bit on this last year.

Conversation overview:

• We're not designed to live disconnected over the long haul
• What is normal?
• Societal upheaval
• Considering family systems
• Resilience and reframing what success might look like
• Doing hard things well
• The power and importance of authentic relationships
• Parting thoughts for our community as we wrap up this year
