What a year 2024 is done 2025 incoming. And today, what are we going to do today? We're going to talk about my big wins, my big losses, how much I've grown on social, a wealth breakdown, including all the different stocks and equities. I own some business updates, like how my business is doing, um, productivity unlocks that I've had any insights and learnings. We're breaking it down in this video. Um, and the truth is I don't know where this video is going to go. I don't know where this pot is going to go. I didn't come super prepared. I just wanted to, I wanted it to be like a conversation that I'm having with a friend. I've got a few ideas on what we can talk about. And it's just going to be me and you having a conversation about my 2024 year in review. And my hope is that by listening to this, you will get some ideas about your year. And it'll get your creative juices flowing. I'd like to start off by talking about my big wins. So I actually haven't announced this anywhere, but me and my wife had a baby. Yes, we had a baby. She's seven weeks old.
And it's just completely changed my perception about everything. I know all parents say this, but I'm still processing what... what it all means. Um, but I can tell you that it's, uh, it's just, yeah, it's one of the most beautiful things, if not the most beautiful things, uh, that has happened in my life. Um, and, uh, yeah, just having like a, a mini you kind of in the world that you get to teach, um, is, is so cool. Um, Yeah, had a baby. Looking for all the baby advice that you can possibly give. And excited to join this adventure. So that was number one. The second thing is I started working out consistently. I started actually lifting consistently. And the amount of mental clarity that I've gotten from that has been amazing. I've also gained weight. I've gained a lot of muscle weight. I think 15, 20 pounds, something like that. So I'm bigger, which is kind of weird because when I look in the mirror, I look more broad. Honestly, I don't even know if I like the look. But the mental clarity is unmatched. So highly recommend lifting.
And how I got into it, I guess, is I got a personal trainer. So I got a personal trainer three times a week. I have to show up. I'm there. And I might reduce my personal trainer maybe to once a week. Now that I'm in the flow. But yeah, definitely enjoy just the benefits of lifting. I actually can't believe it took me until 35 to do it consistently. And then the last biggest win is I basically grew this podcast into a serious platform. Actually, I'm going to give one more big one after this. I grew this podcast into a serious platform. Last year, going into 2024, there was a very small group of people who listened to this podcast. I switched the name from Where It Happens to the Startup Ideas Podcast.
I really started focusing on giving away everything I could in terms of value. I really just wanted people to take the ideas from the podcast and implement it and see what happens. It was in a lot of ways like a social experiment. People took these ideas. They learned... growth tactics on how to grow their businesses. They took a lot of the startup ideas and actually just went and built them. It was a success and people just started talking about the pod and it's probably one of my biggest wins of the year. The last biggest win is I hit a financial net worth number that has always been in my head that I thought that I would never get to, but I hit it. I don't really want to say the number. That's not the point, but I did hit it.
I'll talk more at the end of why I hit it, but basically there was a company that I had stock in and it there was liquidity. I had a liquidity event and that was a good feeling. Okay, big losses and lessons. Obviously, not everything is rosy. I think one of the biggest ones is I felt that throughout 2024, I wasn't working on the most important thing. For example, I'm one of those people who A lot of people tell me this, that I'm really quick on text and I'm quick on Twitter and I'm quick to answer people. And I don't think that's a very good thing. I find myself... I could get distracted by... Someone sends me a text message and be like, what do you think of this? I just find I get distracted a little bit too much. And I...
