Ep 95 - My Three Words For 2026

Episode Summary

In this solo episode, host Cary Weston rings in 2026 by sharing his annual tradition of choosing three guiding words for the year ahead. Instead of making resolutions, Cary focuses on building intentional habits and goals that align with both his personal and professional growth. He reflects on last year's words—Connect, Routine, Smile—grading himself on each and offering insight into how they shaped his year. For 2026, Cary's chosen words are Framework, Make, and Study, and he dives into how tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini will support him in these areas.
