I talk about finishing a 12-cabin micro-resort and what it really feels like to build something big when the risk is real and personal. I share lessons from growing The Weber Co. and Hosted by the Webers, including getting clearer on alignment, pricing our expertise with confidence, and saying no to opportunities that don\u2019t fit. A major theme of this episode is family-first decision making. I share how becoming more present with my kids reshaped my goals, my pace, and even who I look to as role models. I\u2019m still ambitious \u2014 but I\u2019m no longer chasing growth that competes with the life we want. I also reflect on what I deprioritized this year, including my health and marriage, and what I\u2019m recommitting to moving forward. This episode is about choosing alignment over comparison, staying rooted in your own definition of success, and giving yourself permission to celebrate how far you\u2019ve come. If you\u2019re closing out the year questioning what still fits and what you\u2019re ready to release, this episode will resonate.
