In this episode of Evolve Ventures, we call out the New Year trap that keeps smart, driven people stuck in the same patterns year after year. We unpack why starting fresh is not the same as growing forward and why real change has nothing to do with the calendar.

This episode is for anyone ready to stop forcing goals and start becoming the kind of person who actually follows through. Listen with intention and let this be the moment you break the cycle for good.
