MegaMaker - My 2021 year in review
Happy New Year! Today, I'm sending you my annual review.
When I sit down to do these year-in-review posts, the hardest part is figuring out how open I can be. I believe vulnerability is crucial for good writing, but there's definitely a limit on how many layers deep I can go in public.
👉 Read my 2021 year in review
I'm hoping to add more to this in the coming days, but here's what I've included so far:
- What happened with Transistor; including how much we grew.
- What happened with me personally.
- A few ideas/plans for 2022

Did I miss something you're curious about? Let me know and I'll try to add it. 👍
Cheers,
Justin Jackson
