This special Year in Review episode brings together the moments, insights, and conversations that made us pause, rethink, and grow. Throughout the year, we sat down with leaders, coaches, and experts who challenged how we approach work, leadership, money, mental health, and personal growth.
In this recap, we revisit the themes that mattered most. The ones that didn’t just sound good in the moment, but stuck with us long after the recording stopped.
In this episode, we explore:
Why clarity, energy, courage, productivity, and influence are foundational to real growth
What authentic allyship looks like in the workplace and how small actions create meaningful change
The real risks behind cybersecurity complacency and why information security is a business issue, not just a tech one
How passion is often discovered through opportunity, not something you need to have figured out from day one
Why youth mental health conversations matter and how showing up authentically makes a difference
How subconscious patterns can impact confidence, decision making, and job searches
A fresh perspective on money and what it means to shift from a consumer mindset to a banker mindset
This episode is a reminder that growth is rarely linear. It’s shaped by curiosity, courage, uncomfortable conversations, and the willingness to see things differently.
