022: Write the damn book, share a story, be happy!

In the first episode of 2025, I'm flying solo...and Riverside crapped out on processing my show notes...so here I am having to write this with my brain.
Morgan couldn't join me so I tried to stay on track and deliver some thoughtful messaging, along with what I'm excited to bring you in 2025. For starters, I'm writing my book...so I talk about that and what was holding me back. Also, I'm going to start writing some articles/columns on things that I've experiences...maybe they'll resonate? Lastly, more to come on YouTube and long form content like this. All with the intention on giving something of value for free:)
I hope you like it...it's short ;)
