    A guide to a prosperous 2026 (EP193)

    I spent this past morning thinking about 2025 and how to move through 2026. From it I have a bunch or questions and reflections I performed which I felt were helpful.  In today’s episode I discuss them in 5 sections: the zoomer-outer, the gooder, the less than idealer, the limiter & the futurer.  I think adding the “er” to everything makes them legit. Grab a coffer along with a pen & paper or your phone and follow along. Hopefully this sets you up for a great year! This episodes featured Pup is Scarlett .
