  • Season 2 - Episode 1: The Power of Reflection, What we got Right and Wrong
    Jan 7 2026

    Ever feel like your end-of-year review is just a giant list of "I should have done more"? As an entrepreneur, it’s so easy to obsess over the missed deadlines, the botched launches, and the goals that fell short. But when we only look at what went wrong, we completely miss the true story of who we are becoming and how our businesses are actually evolving.


    In this timely episode of The TAB Lab, we’re harnessing The Power of Reflection: What We Got Right and What We Got Wrong. We’ll have a laugh about our own "oops" moments from the past year, but we’re also diving deep into the vital need to celebrate the wins, both for ourselves and our teams. We’ll talk about how to audit your journey without the heavy layer of self-criticism. And here’s the real kicker: we’ll show you how honest reflection is the only way to see the path you’re actually carving, ensuring you don't just repeat the past, but intentionally build your future.

  • Episode 13: Strategic Mindset vs Decision Paralysis
    Dec 23 2025

    Ever feel like the weight of a thousand choices is pinning you to your desk? As an entrepreneur, every day is a minefield of "what-ifs," and while we call it careful consideration, it often morphs into the silent business-killer: Decision Paralysis. When you're stuck in the "maybe," your strategic planning doesn't just stall, it disappears.

    In this high-stakes episode of The TAB Lab, we’re breaking down the battle between a Strategic Mindset vs. Decision Paralysis. We’ll chat about the overwhelming nature of choices and share our favorite frameworks to simplify the chaos and help you trust your gut again. We’ll get real about the fact that no decision is actually a decision, one that usually leads your business nowhere. But here’s the real kicker: we’ll show you why your strategic outlook for next year is completely useless if you don't have a clear vision to guide your choices.
