I Need a Break

📖 Join the "Life in Perspective" book waitlist: https://lifeinperspective.com After years of teaching annual reviews, I'm finally taking my own advice. With my book manuscript due in two months, multiple programs launching, and life throwing curveballs, I realized I need to retreat instead of pushing through. My book is about creating space for annual renewal, and I can't authentically write it while doing the opposite. From now until January, you'll hear from guest experts, including my wife Lauren Valdez, entrepreneur Hayden Miyamoto, and our production team, sharing how AI helped us double our output. This is an experiment in diversifying voices on the channel. Let me know in the comments what you think. See you in 2026 with fresh perspectives and renewed energy!
