If you have a complicated relationship with making and keeping goals, you are so not alone.

I will gladly and proudly raise my hand to join you because it is complicated.

It is so complicated.

And I have been through it.

I don't think it makes someone morally better to make goals.

I don't think it makes someone morally worse to make goals.

It just happens to be something that I have gradually built back up into. And it's a practice for me

that I am really owning for 2025 in a couple of good ways. Now, I alluded to this all with the casual

conversation that you heard the short and preview of last week of an episode from More Personal, my private premium, always ad-free podcast for Bestie and Ride or Die levels of the Supporters Club. And so because of that, I thought, I didn't really share about my goals there.

I would like to do that now for you. And so what I'm going to do is air the full episode of a bonus episode. I aired back in November, late November, when I was sitting in Lafayette, California, at my in-laws and able to work on my goals for the new year and finalized them.

It felt so good. And so I hopped up and shared a full episode sharing my top 10 goals,

personal goals for 2025 with the supporters. Now, I said you get the full episode this time. I accidentally aired the full episode of the book report a couple weeks back. So you got that last week. You got a shortened one. This one is also the full. And tomorrow you're going to get the shortened episode of whatever more personal people are getting. And if you would like to be in on this, in on the kind of more casual, loosey-goosey, but also deep and real version of me. I don't try to be

anyone different, but, you know, I try to be more polished and professional on About Progress.

But if you like this, if you like the style, then join us in the supporters club at the bestie

or rider-dye level and use the code free month

to get your first month completely free. If you sign up by February 1st, just go to aboutprogress.com

and use that code free month. And if you don't have the bandwidth to do so right now, it's okay.

I hope you still get a lot out of listening to this episode and that it can encourage you in whatever way

you need right now, whether that's to make a word of the year or to make one goal for the year

or many goals for the year or none of the above. I am here for you. Okay, let's now turn to the

whole bonus episode where I share my personal goals for 2025.
