Happy New Year! I wanted to share an update on why I have been absent from posting and why I canceled our community calls. At the end of last year, we lost Gillian, someone who was central to both me personally and to Leaders ADAPT. Her passing was sudden and devastating. For those who knew her, you understand how much light she brought to everything she touched. For her family, the loss has been unbearable, and watching them navigate this grief has been heartbreaking. She left behind people who loved her deeply and depended on her in ways that are impossible to replace. Beyond the emotional weight of losing Gillian, her absence created real challenges for the business. She was involved in so much of what we do, and suddenly that work fell to me during a time when I was already stretched thin. The combination of grief and operational pressure has been a really hard period. At the same time, Q4 brought a significant increase in client demand, both from existing relationships and new ones coming to Leaders ADAPT. This growth is something I am grateful for, but it has meant that passion projects like this community, book promotion (speaker engagements), and the Adapt or die podcast have had to take a back seat. I am actively hiring to meet demand, and once the team is ramped up, this will no longer be an issue. To add to everything, my family and I made several real estate investments this year. One of them turned out to be outright fraud and we lost $500,000. The legal aftermath and lawsuits have consumed a substantial amount of time for both me and my wife, and this process will continue for a long time. Once things stabilize, my intention is to bring back multiple calls each month, free group coaching sessions, and much more. I appreciate your patience and your continued presence here. It means a lot.
