In 2010, Seth Godin asked people to make a list of what they shipped. I have been doing this exercise each year since then. You can see my past #YearInReview posts here. I continue to believe this reflection is one of the most important exercises I do all year.

• Proudly shipped 100 Best Books for Work and Life 📙
• Launched Leading Health by Ed O’Malley as our 2026 Bard Press title
• Shipped Rookie Real Estate Agent by Jay Papasan with our partner Keller Williams
• Studied eleven more fascicles in Dogen’s Shobogenzo with friends
• Celebrated the graduation of our son Ethan from Oregon State University
• Received lay teacher transmission in my Soto Zen lineage 🙏🏻
• Gave one dharma talk on sutras, and led a class for folks who are new Zen practitioners
• Visited Olympic National Park
• Traveled to Wichita, Fort Meyers, New York City, Taos, Nashville, Lincoln City and Atlanta (twice).
