Welcome back! Happy 2025! And all that good stuff…
I realize some people are already in the office again and others of you are staying off email until January 6th. Whatever the case, in honor of starting a new trip around the sun, let’s make this issue a bit of a “housekeeping” issue.
Specifically, for those of you who haven’t been keeping score, I’ve published three articles since the last issue a couple weeks ago, and I’ve got all three of them linked below.
Just as importantly, no New Year’s issue of anything would be complete without some sort of retrospective. That manes I’ll be wrapping up this issue with links to my Top 5 most popular articles of 2024. Maybe you missed one, or maybe you’ll get some value from simply reading them again.
Whatever the case, thanks, as always, for following. We had a great 2024 and — spoiler alert — I’ve got big things planned for 2025, so stay tuned!
