The start of Q3 got me thinking about how 2025 is already half gone. I started wondering what might be different one year from now as we venture into Q3 2026.

This year has brought loss, resilience, and unexpected growth in equal measure. I’ve invested heavily in my team, in myself, and in rethinking what we’re building and why. What I’ve learned: plans are useful, but adaptability is essential. The businesses that thrive aren’t the ones with the best plan — they’re the ones that can revise the plan when reality doesn’t match expectations. Stay flexible. Keep moving forward.
