In this first episode of 2025, Carl reflects on the importance of consistent practice, whether it’s journaling, recording, or simply noticing the world around us. After a break spent adventuring in New Zealand, he shares how quickly the muscle of capturing and processing experiences can atrophy—and why the act of documenting thoughts, even privately, is so valuable. Carl revisits lessons from Seth Godin and a heartfelt reminder from a listener, Ashby, to focus on what lights you up. This episode is a reminder that anything worth mastering requires practice, and sharing ideas publicly can refine and elevate them.
