[Live Training] 2025 Recap & 2026 Plan
📣 Live Call — 2025 Recap + Q4 Post-Mortem
Alright friends — we’re scheduling a live call for Thursday, January 8th at 7:00 PM ET.
2025 was a wild ride, and Q4 came in like a freight train with volume we honestly didn’t expect. This call is our chance to do a full recap, talk through what went sideways, what we learned, and exactly what we’re putting in place so 2026 runs smoother, faster, and with fewer “how is this even real life?” moments.
✅ What we’ll cover
• 2025 recap: big wins, growth, and milestones
• Q4 post-mortem: the issues we ran into, why they happened, and the real-world impact
• Lessons learned: what worked, what didn’t, and what we’re never doing again 😅
• 2026 plan: process + software + production improvements we’re implementing
• Live Q&A at the end
💰 Heads up: upcoming price adjustments
We also want to give everyone a clear early heads-up: we’ll be finalizing and announcing price adjustments on select products this week.
These will NOT go into effect until after the USPS surcharge drops off on January 18th.
We’ve absorbed increases as long as we could throughout the year due to:
• tariff/supplier changes, and
• two USPS shipping increases (including the one right before Q4… yeah… that one hurt)
So this is us rebalancing where we have to — not every product will be affected, and we’ll be very transparent about what’s changing and why.
🔗 Call details
• When: Thursday, January 8th @ 7:00 PM ET
• Where: Zoom — Link will be posted Thursday in the Discord live-call-links channel
Bring your questions. Bring your notes. Bring your “please never let that happen again” energy.
See y’all Thursday. 👊
