Goodbye, 2024

Hi, Friends.

Here is my last publication of the year.1

In 2023, I slowed down my YouTube channel, podcast, and blog due to a job change, a wedding, and a house renovation.

In 2024, I took a break from sharing videos and podcasts to enjoy the arrival and early months of Manuel's life, our first son (!).

I plan to return to podcasting and streaming in 2025.

Here are some highlights from 2024.


The end of the year is a great temporal landmark to reflect on what we did over the past year and rethink our practice. Yet, it’s best to conduct similar reviews throughout the year instead of waiting for New Year’s resolutions.2


If you're thinking of starting a blog or a personal journal, I invite you to read One Word per Day. I agree with Seth Godin that "everyone should have a blog and write daily, in public." It's a great and free way to establish your tone before anyone cares about your writing.


If there’s anything you’ve learned or enjoyed from my content, I’d love for you to send me a note.

I look forward to sharing more with you in 2024.

Thanks so much for being there!

Goodbye, 2024.

Happy New Year!



  1. This is the fourth time I have written a year-goodbye post. You can read previous ones from 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023

  2. At the turn of 2019, I published Twelve Grapes—a short reflection on temporal landmarks and New Year's resolutions.
