A year-end reflection on surrender, control, and what it means to want something from life without trying to force it.
In this Christmas special, I reflect on 2025; what I’m leaving behind, what I’m taking with me, and what I hope to grow into next year. We talk spirituality without bypassing responsibility, the tension between surrender and agency, and why preparation matters more than manifestation.
Also included:
My product of the year: Kindle
My two books of the year:
Fiction: Tuf Voyaging — George R. R. Martin
A surprisingly hilarious and thoughtful sci-fi novel. Witty, strange, and one of those books you slow down on because you don’t want it to end.Non-Fiction: Creativity, Inc. — Ed Catmull
Still my favorite non-fiction book. An honest, human look at leadership, creative culture, and building something that outlives you. Worth rereading — multiple times.
And, of course, a very serious dark chocolate review with an updated ranking system
Thank you for listening, co-creating, and being part of this strange, honest experiment. See you next year.
