About this episode

The hosts reflect on their experiences from Q1 and share their intentions for Q2 in their businesses.

We’re back following an unplanned, emergency hiatus. Find out what happened and listen as we belatedly reflect on Quarter 1 and look ahead to what’s left of Quarter 2 in our respective businesses. We share what felt good, what didn’t, and what we’ve learned in the process. We also talk about our words of the year and how they’ve been showing up for us since we last spoke. Spoiler alert: Charlie didn’t choose one for 2026! Finally, we share a few sources of creative inspiration and dig into our plans for the next three months.
