Thank you @Brennan Thompson for your talk on building a business with purpose. Thank you @Ellie Shoja for leading us through the intention alignment exercise. Thank you @Jay Hanan for your creative piano playing. Thank you @Michelle McMillionairess for the delicious lentil soup (I need to get that recipe from you!). I had a great time getting to know everyone and hearing everyone’s thoughts and perspectives. It was the perfect gathering to get ready for the new year and can’t wait for the next one. (@Ellie Shoja, if you see a water bottle left behind on the floor, that was me. I’ll have to get it next time! 😉)

What are you going to do to make 2026? And when is our next get together?
