What's up, guys. It is late night, Monday, December 30th, 2024. I just wrapped up our end of year

Action Academy call for about 200 of our members. And I am recording this impromptu podcast episode,

more so as a fireside chat between myself and you guys. So just me and you, you and me,

sitting here talking in your car when you're at the gym, whatever have you.

So in this podcast episode, I'm going to share what we've accomplished this year, some stats for the podcast, some stats for the community.

And lastly, my personal acquisition for the year.

So that by the end of this podcast episode, you guys will have all the

numbers, all the data. And the reason that I love this the most is a lot of you guys that are

OGs to the show know that I love the entrepreneur Alex Hermose. I'm quite frequent listener to his

podcast. And now I have met both him and his wife. Layla has been on the show. Alex is coming on the show later.

And one of his favorite quotes that he says is confidence doesn't come from shouting affirmations

in the mirror.

It comes from having an undeniable stack of proof that you are who you say you are, right?

And the only way that you can do that is by putting your

head down, doing the rocky cutscene, and doing the work. And so through today's podcast episode,

I'm happy to share with you my work, my undeniable stack of proof that I am who I say I am. Because

data doesn't lie and it's not subjective anymore. So it's been two years of me

putting the work in to be able to produce what I'm about to share with you guys. And I hope it's as

impressive to you as it is to me and to our members. So first things first, shout out to you guys,

737,000 downloads for the Action Academy podcast this year. We hit our one millionth

download, which is something that I had been working on since October 2021. And when I hit it,

it was pretty cool because it was one of the tasks that was the hardest that I think I've ever done.
