2025 moved fast.
Technology accelerated, industries shifted, and certainty felt harder to hold. Yet beneath all the noise, something quieter was taking shape: growth. Not dramatic or loud, but the kind that reshapes perspective one decision at a time.

In this special end of year episode, we slow down to make sense of the year we just lived. We explore the lessons hidden inside our choices, the surprises that stretched us, and the changes that pushed us to evolve. We also look at how The Strategic Thinker transformed in 2025, from the launch of the Path to Greatness series to the addition of Sparks and the topics that resonated most with this community.

You will hear:

• Why uncertainty became the defining theme of 2025 and how to navigate it with clarity
• The evolution of TST and the stories behind Kobe Bryant, Walt Disney, and Sherlock Holmes
• A guided five year visualization to help you step into 2026 with intention
• An AMA segment answering three questions that shaped our conversations this year
• A closing reflection on the ideas that matter most for the year ahead

This episode is not about reviewing headlines. It is about reviewing meaning.
It is an invitation to pause, recalibrate, and carry only what serves your direction into 2026.

If you want to think long term, live with intention, and design your next chapter with clarity, this reflection is for you.
