I'm your host Mark. And today we are doing our end of the year. Wrap up. Episode we're going to look backward and forward and talk a little bit about things that we can do to prepare for the coming new year. Setting some vision for where we're, we're all going to go.\\nAnd just sort of also really reflect on everything that we've put out this year on the podcast is there's been a lot of content.\\xa0\\nYucca: Yeah, they're really, as this'll be this looking at it now, this will be our 47th episode for this year.\\nMark: That is Pretty close to every week.\\xa0\\nYucca: close. Yeah.\\nMark: a few weeks that we had to cancel for one reason or another, but boy, 47 and this. Wow.\\xa0\\nYucca: Yeah.\\xa0\\nMark: Okay.\\xa0\\nYucca: be our third year two. We're going into, we started back in the beginning of 2020, and we're going into 2022. course. I can't believe that we are. It doesn't feel like 20, 21 has happened.\\nMark: You know, we talked about this before. It is the weirdest thing. 2020 took about seven years. It went on and on and on. And I mean, there was the, the, the lead up to the election and there was the. The pandemic. And there were just all these horrible things that kept happening. Ruth Bader Ginsburg died and, you know, just all these awful things,\\xa0\\nYucca: from fires\\xa0\\nMark: all that stuff.\\nYeah. And, you know, floods and hurricanes and, oh my goodness. and.\\nthen 2021 came along and it was lickety split. Okay. We've got a pandemic, but it seemed like. January six was kind of the last, the last crisis of 2020. I sort of counted that as part of 2020.

That's been really lovely to have guests on. So.\\xa0\\nMark: So.\\nWe decided that we would spotlight five of our favorite episodes from this past year. And that obviously that's a trick in and of itself. If you've got 50 episodes, then you've got, you only get to pick one in 10. Right. But we went over them.

And even if you've heard them before, you might want to give them. a listen again. I mean, we, we agreed that there was a lot of content that we think is really valuable in these episodes. And So.\\nThese are, these are keepers.\\xa0\\nYucca: Yeah, well, the first one is one that we've actually referenced quite a bit. It's one that way back, we're looking at February 1st, we talked about the inner critic.\\nMark: Yes.
