Elevate and Execute — Episode: Year-End Reflection, Discipline, and Setting the Tone for 2026

Hosts: Kyle Fernandez, Brian Preston, David Ounanian

Episode Summary

In this end-of-year episode, the Elevate and Execute crew reflects on the lessons, challenges, and wins from 2025—both in business and in life. They talk candidly about discipline, consistency, and why most people drift instead of deliberately designing the year ahead.

The conversation covers real estate, entrepreneurship, health, and mindset, with a strong emphasis on personal responsibility and long-term thinking. Rather than chasing resolutions or quick wins, the hosts focus on building systems, routines, and habits that compound over time.

As the year wraps up, this episode serves as both a reset and a challenge: to take ownership of your direction, eliminate distractions, and move into 2026 with clarity and intent.
