Tait Duryea and Ryan Gibson close out 2025 by pulling back the curtain on how high performers actually plan, execute, and stay intentional across money, business, and family life. From Spartan’s acquisition pace and Turbine’s investor roadmap to family board meetings, goal frameworks, and habit formation, this episode offers a grounded look at what it takes to build momentum year after year.
If you want clarity instead of drift and action instead of resolutions, this conversation sets the tone for a focused, intentional 2026. Do not just listen. Decide who you are becoming and move.
