The Good, Bad, and Ugly of 2025

Описание: Host Eric Bandholz says, "I talk often on the podcast about business, growth, and problem-solving — but at some point, it’s worth stepping back to ask why any of it matters in the first place."

For this recap, he looks at the 2025 performance of his company, Beardbrand: what worked, what didn’t, what was painful, and what ultimately made it worthwhile.

Eric states that it’s a reminder to take stock of your own priorities — how time, energy, and attention are being allocated — and whether they align with the life you’re trying to build.
