I can’t believe the year is over. It was a big year for me, a lot happened. Today, as a way to reflect on all that I’ve accomplished and to be grateful for the things I’ve been able to do, I want to talk about twelve things I learned this year.

I also want to say that this podcast wouldn’t be what it is without you. Thank you for listening, for sharing, for reviewing. I am grateful for you, for your writing in, for your comments. It makes me realize that I have made an impact, and that means everything.

My goal was to share my experiences, my conversations with the people I come into contact with, and the knowledge they have, so that I could help make your lives bigger, better, and more creative. Thank you for letting me do that.

Working at becoming a better human is making life richer and more epic.
