Another lap around the Sun

Hello, friends.

Happy New Year! Figured we’d start the new year by catching up.

December was quite active for us, as it has been the last few years.

How were your final few weeks of 2022?

What are you looking forward to in 2023?

On our side, we’re hoping to get more rooted in our home and create more negative space in our calendars to listen. Calm Capital did acquire another business at the end of 2022 and Marty and I are re-structuring how we spend our time in the different companies.

And Marty and I were guests on another podcast, Top M&A Entrepreneurs with Jon Stoddard. Listen or watch.

I love what Readwise has done with its new reader app. You can save full links (like Pocket) or just your highlights. You can even share a public link to an article with your highlights and notes.

Here’s one article I enjoyed over the holidays:

What we can learn from Barnes & Noble’s Surprising Turnaround

It’s a relevant and sentimental read for me. I spent months of my life (cumulatively) in their stores between my late teens and 20s.

Have you seen or observed any other turnarounds or interesting stories recently? Let me know.

Talk soon.
