Listen "EP. 19 The Ugly Mug"
Episode Synopsis
Episode 19 arrives just before Thanksgiving: lessons from a lopsided mug and a turbulent year.”
A lopsided mug from my childhood has become my metaphor for this ugly year in trade and in life. In this episode, I share its story, the turbulence of 2025, and five lessons worth keeping.
I’ll leave you with a gentle invitation: What “ugly mugs” have you kept? What stories do they hold?
And stay tuned—Episode 20 may come to you from Spain, as I run the Valencia Marathon and reflect on what’s next.
