  • 257 - We’re back! As parents! Update + a look ahead…
    Jan 5 2026

    After a few months away, we’re back behind the mic with a real-time life and business update. In this episode, we share what the first four months of parenthood have been like, how our parental leave actually played out, and where our work is headed next.


    We talk about:

    • Life with baby Leon and what surprised us most in the early months
    • How stepping away from WAIM Unlimited and work impacted us
    • What’s happening with Teachery and why it’s entering a new chapter
    • Two very different paths we’re considering for what we build next—and why we’re torn
    • Why clarity still comes from action, not overthinking

    This episode is part catch-up, part behind-the-scenes, and part open-ended invitation to follow along as we figure out what the next iteration of our work looks like in 2026.
