<aside> 👋🏼 I left my career as a VC to help founders, creators and leaders evolve, discover their next big thing, and bring their vision to life. My mission is to be a good human who helps others succeed and thrive through coaching, mentoring, and writing.

<aside> 🗣 Every year since 2015, I've conducted an annual review during the holiday season. This process has been cathartic, empowering and transformational. As a result, I became sober, changed careers, bought a home in the country, and got mentally and physically fit.
The review had such a profound impact on my life that my friends and clients began to ask if I could share it with them. This led me to create The Ultimate Annual Review in 2018 and make it available to everyone for free. It has now been completed by more than 15,000 people from 25 countries and all walks of life, including students, professionals, retirees, and more.
I hope this process helps you see how far you've come in 2022, who you want to become in 2023, and inspires you to take the next step towards that vision.
Good luck and happy holidays,
-Steve
