Embracing Ease: Sustaining Accountability and Intentionality in the New Year
In this first podcast episode of 2024, I reflect on the past year (2023) and share my personal experiences and changes in my life. I discuss a recent talk I gave at church titled "Hard Times Are Also Healing Times," and I didn't share everything on the podcast because I wanted to keep it business-focused. I express excitement for the new year and reveal that my chosen word for the year is "ease." I also share additional words for each quarter, month, and day, emphasizing the importance of intentionality and productivity.
The episode transitions into a discussion on sustaining accountability with new habits, especially at the beginning of the year. I introduce five questions related to accountability and provide insights into each question, encouraging listeners to reflect on their goals, motivations, and past successes.

In this episode, I talk about the “nice list” and the “naughty list” in business, and it’s not really about Santa. It’s about how we treat our business and ourselves. As the year wraps up, I encourage a guilt-free self-check and a look ahead to 2026. Being on the nice list means making choices that support growth and long-term success. Being on the naughty list means habits that quietly hold us back.
