Summary
In this Closer Look episode, we break down the biggest moments of our 2025—what worked, what nearly broke us, and what we’re taking into 2026. We cover: How we grew from ~ $3.5M to ~$16M in a calendar year The team + culture shift that changed everything Why the US became our biggest market (after a painful 2019 experience) The behind-the-scenes stress you don’t see online (and how we handled it) Personal wins: discipline, fitness, keeping promises to yourself, and family highlights Our end-of-year reflection ritual + the questions we use to plan the next year If you’re a business owner scaling fast (or trying to), this is your reminder that growth isn’t just strategy — it’s people, systems, and staying grounded when it gets loud. 👇 Comment “REFLECTION” if you want the reflection questions we use each year.
