Last year, I had a choice: continue down the same (misaligned) path or trust my instincts and burn it all down.

Now...in hindsight? I see how much taking the safe, familiar, misaligned path was truly costing me...a complete shift in identity, a regulated nervous system and MILLIONS of dollars.

Let's talk about it!

2025 has been a year of extraordinary growth for me as a founder and personally, and I put that down to one simple thing:

DECIDING to do things differently.

After years of living the definition of insanity, ie, doing the same things expecting different results, I committed to creating REAL change.

In this episode, I share the areas I did things differently and how those decisions shifted EVERYTHING.

I also leave you with a powerful question as you head into 2026.

Enjoy!
