Listen "Brewing and Pixels: Setting Goals for 2024 | E63"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Jason and Herman have a casual discussion about goal setting and New Year's resolutions, sharing their perspectives on effective goal setting strategies like working backwards to define what success looks like and being intentional in choosing just one or two focused goals. They talk about some of their personal goals and niche interests for 2024, such as Herman's goal to build a game for his hand-cranked gaming console and Jason's goal to try out different coffee brewing methods beyond his usual Chemex.
