MegaMaker - My 2024 year in review
|
Happy New Year! Today, I'm finally sending you my annual review. (A little later than I'd hoped!) For over a decade now (eleven years!), I've been writing these annual reviews. Each one captures a snapshot of my journey – the wins, the struggles, and everything in between. 👉 Read my 2024 year in review This year, I'm trying to ask myself this question more often: "Is this thing you’re doing in service of the life you want to live?" In the full post, you can read about what a "good life" means to me personally, plus:
I hope you have an incredible 2024! Cheers, PS: this year, I'm starting a new podcast with Brian Casel called The Panel. In every episode, we invite smart friends to discuss (and debate) the realities of building a business and career in tech. We want to make it a "can't miss show" – we'd appreciate it if you signed up for our list! We just released the trailer episode here: This newsletter is brought to you by: ⚡ MegaMaker ⚡ |
