| 0:07.6 | Hey guys. Welcome to Tommy Talk. And today's topic is a hot button topic. And that topic is |
| 0:14.1 | should we be making New Year resolutions? Hmm. Okay. Well, let's unpack this a little bit. |
| 0:24.8 | It is 2026. I cannot believe I am saying that. Happy official New Year, my friends. I am, first of all, so grateful you all have been on |
| 0:30.1 | this journey with me. I love having you in this community and I love being able to share with you and |
| 0:35.4 | we have such a great lineup ahead for this year. |
| 0:54.6 | And I just want to say I'm thankful for you all. You guys bring me joy. You bring me so much happiness. You lift my spirits. I see your comments on these Tommy talks. I see you tuning in and thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, it means the world. So I thought it would be fun to kick off today's episode with talking about New Year resolutions. People are very divided. And with the new year |
