As we close out 2025, it's time to give future you the greatest gift possible: clarity. In this special year-end episode, discover what we learned together this year and exactly how to turn those lessons into your clearest year yet.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

• The one question that connects every 2025 framework and strategy we covered
• Why margin isn't what's left after work—it's what makes your best work possible
• The exact 4-step process for writing your letter to future you
• How to identify your constraint—the one thing that if changed, would change everything
• The single biggest mistake creatives make every January (and how to avoid it)
• Why clarity comes from consistent action, not perfect planning
• 5 specific action steps to take before 2026 begins

2025 LESSONS RECAP:

The DO vs DUE Framework taught us proactive planning beats reactive scrambling. Transformative one-on-ones showed us investing in people IS the work. Mental health conversations reminded us that self-care makes us better leaders. AI-assisted planning demonstrated how to amplify strengths without losing the human touch.

All of these lessons connect back to one core question: What does future you need from present you?
