A Year of Gratitude (and a Dash of Humor)

As 2024 wraps up, we’re taking a moment to reflect, laugh, and give thanks for what fueled us this year.

First, each other—because brilliance loves company (and we are a dazzling bunch).
Second, our families and friends, who remind us to walk the dog(s) and recharge.
And, of course, our massive fan base—YOU THREE ARE THE BEST!

We’ve also been fired up by some incredible books and podcasts:

  • The Maniac by Benjamin Labatut (Game theory meets nuclear age thinkers? Sí, por favor).
  • Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang (a moving memoir).
  • You Are the Medicine by Asha Frost (powerful healing).
  • Tribe by Sebastian Junger (belonging redefined).
  • Podcasts like The Good Life, Untangled, and HBR’s Women at Work kept our brains buzzing.

Here’s to another year of collaboration, innovation, and brilliance—see you in 2025!
