The Cost of Staying in the Game: A Hard Year-End Reset
2025 didn’t just challenge businesses — it drained people.
In the final episode of the year, David Greenspan delivers a raw, grounded year-end reset for REALTORS®, entrepreneurs, and professionals who feel exhausted, disillusioned, and frustrated by the state of business, society, and standards.
Building on the momentum of Episode 365, this conversation shifts inward — examining the internal cost of staying in the game through economic pressure, digital overload, eroding trust, declining professionalism, and a growing disconnect between effort and progress.
This episode unpacks:
- Why Canada’s economy stalled instead of crashing — and why that grind is more dangerous
- How social media and dopamine addiction are impacting mindset, behavior, and follow-through
- The collapse of trust, standards, and accountability — and what it’s doing to relationships and business
- Why happiness feels further away for both youth and adults, backed by real data
- How to conduct a meaningful year-end reflection that actually changes outcomes
- What to remove, reset, and recommit to heading into 2026
This isn’t about hype, resolutions, or pretending everything is fine.
It’s about clarity, alignment, and deciding what’s worth carrying forward — and what isn’t.
If 2025 took more from you than you expected, this episode will help you reset with intention and direction.
