Thank You To Our Partners The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing, In-Bound:

The idea of this podcast is to stretch our comfort zones and grow.

Growth isn’t automatic or instant - it’s a journey.

In this episode Craig takes you on a thought process that came about from an article that was shared - with him that highlighted to real security breach to texting infrastructure in the US thanks to state sponsored hackers.  The article lead to conversations with and eventually a subtle joke that that perhaps we should revisit the art of letter writing!  But perhaps that shouldn’t be a joke and we really should pivot to a more intentional form of communication as we grapple with emerging trends in 2025 tipping us further away from security, authenticity, and intentionality. 

Listeners will find this to be a timely message.

In this episode Craig also introduces a word of the day.

Today’s word:  Anachronistic.
