If you're an entrepreneur, creative, or high achiever looking to close out the year with clarity and set yourself up for a breakthrough 2026 - this episode will give you the exact framework to do it.

In this solo episode, I'm walking you through my complete 30-question end-of-year review process - the same one that kicked off my best year yet. I share my personal answers, the mistakes I made, and how this simple practice created massive momentum heading into 2025.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- How to identify your highest-leverage activities from the past year - including the ones you've forgotten

- A simple reframe that turns goal-setting from overwhelming to energizing (hint: think "chapters," not resolutions)

- The one daily habit that guarantees progress on what actually matters - focusing on your scariest task first

- Why reviewing your relationships, money decisions, and energy drainers reveals patterns you can't see in the moment

- How to uncover the "elephant in the room" that's silently sabotaging your progress

- A framework for identifying which tools, systems, and habits to keep versus cut heading into the new year

This episode includes real examples from my own review - from dating app experiments to AI tool stacks to lessons learned from ending a relationship.
