Reflection of the Week
Happy Friday, all!
As we wrap up 2025, I want to take a moment to pause with you. This time of year always invites reflection, and I hope you’re finding space to breathe, rest, and look back on everything you’ve navigated—with compassion and pride.
For me, this marks the close of another profitable and impactful year. I’m deeply grateful to get to do this work: to support incredible clients, to love what I do most days, and to keep evolving as I move into my 10th year as an entrepreneur. Ten years! It still surprises me to say that out loud.
It’s also been a big year personally—I got married! That milestone brought such joy, grounding, and perspective. Building a life with someone I love has deepened my commitment to showing up fully in both my personal and professional life. It’s reminded me just how much connection, care, and alignment matter in everything we do.
Whether you’ve been reading this newsletter from the beginning or just joined this year, thank you. Your presence, your feedback, and your commitment to aligning purpose with profit mean the world to me. This newsletter is more than content—it’s a conversation we build together, week by week.
There won’t be a newsletter for the last two weeks of the year. I hope you take this time to step back from the “doing” of your business and reconnect with the “being.” Go at your own pace. Rest, recharge, and notice what wants to emerge.
If you’re looking for guidance or inspiration during the break, the archive of past newsletters and blog posts is always there for you. I hope they continue to offer value, perspective, or just a reminder that you’re not alone in this work.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to share that we have some big changes coming to the podcast in 2026. I can’t reveal everything just yet, but it’s a shift that feels bold, aligned, and reflective of where we’re going next as a community of LGBTQ+ and mission-driven entrepreneurs.
Thank you again for being here. I’m so proud of what we’re building together.
Questions of the Week
- What are you most proud of from this past year—personally, professionally, or both?
- Where can you intentionally rest or release before the new year begins?
- What are you carrying forward into 2026—and what are you ready to leave behind?
Tool of the Week
No tools this week—just an invitation: Rest. Be present. Celebrate. Whatever the end of the year looks like for you, I hope it’s nourishing, gentle, and exactly what you need.
Best,
Brian
