Being Boss in 2022

Mindset refreshers, 2022 trends (already?!), and updates to your favorite apps.

5 January, 2022

A Fresh Start

Welcome to 2022, boss! You made it. We made it. High fives all around.

Now, the question is HOW are you going to start this fresh, new year?

Are you going to hit the ground running? Ease back in? Make shit happen? Or let things come to you?

Whatever you decide, we want it to be an informed decision. This week we’re filling this email with all kinds of info to help you begin this year with whatever kind of bang you desire, even if it’s a quiet one.

And once you’re fully informed, be sure to choose your word of the year (here’s a minisode to guide you), and… if you want to share it with a friend, add it to this post in the community.

Now, on to the links!
