EP 220: 2025 Wrapped: Explosive Growth, Hard Truths, and Our Wild Plan for 2026

from Branded & Booked

2025 has been one of the biggest years of growth I've ever had — across three hospitality businesses, inside my personal life, and in the direction I'm heading for 2026. I'm breaking down what worked, what stretched me, and what I'm changing moving forward. I walk through each business — The Weber Co., Hosted by the Webers, and Cabins on the Cumberland — and share the real numbers, the mindset shifts, the growing pains, and the wins. I also open up about the conversations Colin and I have been having about our boys, school, where we want to live, and why "camper life" is the plan for next year. If you're building something big, navigating pivots, or trying to figure out how to scale without losing yourself in the process… this one's for you.
