Welcome to the Choose Hard podcast. I'm your host Cody McBroom. I'm a father, husband, coach,

an entrepreneur, and the founder of tailored coaching method. Today is our new year's podcast.

This is the podcast I do every year going into the new year. As you are listening to this,

it is December 30th, I believe. It should be a Tuesday.

If you are one of my loyal listeners that listens right away, I guess I should say, this is going

directly into 2026. I recently did a podcast a couple weeks ago, it aired on reflections of 2025.

And I'm going to refer back to that a couple times. I would highly

encourage you to go listen to that after listening to this. This podcast is going to serve you as a

But when a new thing happens, we have an

opportunity to create change. And whether somebody is the type that gets anxious around change or not,

change drives progress for most people. It also drives a form of excitement. Sometimes this is mistaken

has anxiety. But the reality is, is this is going to be something very helpful for you. So I'm

really excited about this. And I want to really help you outline what you need to do in order to accomplish the things you want to accomplish. So I'm going to go over a plan that we specifically use with clients. In fact, this is actually going to be served as another opportunity for you to jump in and do it with us as well. And that is not for me to sell you on anything. I mean, in a way it is.

Like, you should hire a coach. I think that's one of the most beneficial things and investments you can

do. But I have something free for you that I think will be very, very valuable. So everything I'm
