Hey, friends, welcome back to old-fashioned on purpose.

It is a new season.

It's a new year.

And I'm feeling all of that energy that I love so much as we kick off new beginnings

as we jump into 2025.

So I've kind of started, I don't know, the last year or two, a couple years, a tradition

here on the podcast where at the end of the year I share my lessons that I learned.

And then at the beginning of the year, I share my goals and intentions.

And I don't know, maybe you don't find this interesting at all, but it's helpful for me to put this out there to the world.

It helps me hold myself accountable.

It also is interesting to have to organize my thoughts, to share it with you.

And then I kind of get to spend that time ruminating on both where I want to go and where I've been.

So, I mean, I do get good feedback from these episodes.

So I think they're helpful.

But anyway, that's what we're doing today.

I'm going to share some of my intentions and targets for the coming year.

And then at the end of this year, I can tell you how everything was different and changed from what I expected.

But regardless, I think it's good to have something you're aiming for. And I hope that you're able to spend some time reflecting this month

or maybe you already have, you know, you don't always have to do these things at the beginning

of the new year. I've seen a lot of posts on social media lately talking about how we're conditioned

to think that January is the start of the year and it's actually in spring and it's a Gregorian

calendar myth and whatever. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you're conditioned to like the new year
