What's up, everybody? Welcome back to a couple things. With Sean and Andrew. This is one of our

0:04.0

very favorite episodes to do every single year. I've already been getting tagged. You asked

0:09.9

last episode if I was. I now am. Isn't that fun to see? It is fun about people doing their annual

0:16.7

goals and going through our entire process. This process changed our entire life.

What year was that?

0:24.8

That was nine years ago, 2018?

1:11.8

shocking for us to see that both of us wrote down lives that looked completely different than what we
