Say hello to 2026. Tansley and Ryan kick off the new year by sharing what they’re leaving behind in 2025—from habits and social media trends to workout apps that started to sap the joy from movement (sorry, Apple 👀). While fitness stays firmly in their 2026 plans, they’re both skeptical of rigid work resolutions—Ryan is done with unprioritized tasks that drain energy, and Tansley gets curious about long executive leadership trips and who actually has time for them. What is staying? A shared belief that development and education are powerful ways to grow in the year ahead.
Light, unfiltered, and the perfect bite to get us ready for the new year. Tag Tansley and Ryan on social and share what you’re leaving behind in 2025.
