About this episode

Joe Pulizzi discusses the importance of intentionality and focus for creators and entrepreneurs as they head into 2026.

In this unscripted, straight-from-the-heart episode, Joe talks directly to creators and entrepreneurs about what really matters heading into 2026.

Eliminate everything that doesn't…
