“Oops, I haven’t accomplished much at all from January to May.” That’s what I thought on my 15-hour flight. No, I was not in the go-go-go mode, because in 15 hours, I came up with a very short list. 1. Wrapped up a great project my coauthor and I started in 2020. 2. Celebrated the promotion I had worked hard for since 2017. 3. Explored a new opportunity at work and learned so much. 4. Returned to regular strength training.

Today I’m celebrating 1 year of being WOAW’s CEO 🎉 Taking on this opportunity actually changed my life in a massive way. Looking back over the last 12 months, it’s surreal to think how much we’ve achieved. Some of it is the more generic - satisfying, yes - but generic stuff. • More than doubled revenue • Produced better work for clients than ever before • Offered new services But beyond the surface, there’s been so much more. • Formulated an exciting plan for the future, which we’re all aligned on • Cultivated a group environment which encourages creativity and happiness • Changed our structure and processes to make us stronger and more efficient • Experienced massive highs and some really difficult challenges • Expanded our network - our friends of WOAW - which boasts some of the brightest minds and  most talented people imaginable • Internally, we’ve challenged each other and held one another accountable • I’ve developed as person in ways I’m really proud of • Had a fucking good time In some ways it feels crazy it’s only been one year. In others it feels like a lifetime of work has gone into it. Here’s to the next year and all we’re aiming to achieve. Who’s in for the ride? 🙋♂️
