## Resource

In this conclusion to our New Year’s special, the team shifts focus from reflecting on the past to executing for the future. Chase, James, Stephen, and Jason trade war stories and strategies for 2026, covering everything from the discipline of 2,000 cold calls to the necessity of targeting software verticals. Whether you need to build a vision board, curate an audiobook library, or just learn when to "shut your mouth" during a sale, this candid conversation provides the blueprint—and the motivation—to make your network your net worth this year.
