The boys kick things off with an epic intro as Taylor Lewan deep dives into his ‘Game Of Thrones’ watching experience and opens up about not wanting to be known as a liar.

Tune in as the team discusses: Why new investors should prioritize their first deal over income goals Building momentum through repetition and consistent action The dangers of chasing multiple strategies instead of following a proven system How immersion and community accelerate early success Transitioning from hustle to efficiency as deals start closing Using “swim lanes” to identify bottlenecks and optimize workflows Avoiding the trap of turning your business into another job Leveraging outsourcing, automation, and software to scale Why advanced investors need to redefine their “why” after hitting initial goals Creating a business that can run without you through systems and team   TIP OF THE WEEKMark Podolsky: Get crystal clear on your “why”—without a strong purpose, you won't have the grit to stay consistent through challenges. Scott Bossman: Regularly look back at your progress to stay motivated—growth is easier to see when you compare where you were months ago.

Virginia Evans's debut novel, “The Correspondent,” was published last April and became one of the publishing industry's heartwarming champions of 2025: a slow-burn success story that gathered momentum over the summer and fall and finally topped the New York Times hardcover best-seller list in December. For Evans, who had written and failed to sell seven previous novels, the book's popularity has felt magical, as she explains to host Gilbert Cruz on this week's podcast.“I went on a kind of a brief book tour in the fall, meeting hundreds of people,” Evans says, “and … different bookstores were starting to say, this is becoming a thing, we can't keep it in the store. We keep running out of stock. And then they were going back, reprint after reprint. So then I started to think, oh, it's getting bigger. But I think, I just didn't have a context. I still don't understand publishing. So I thought every step of the way was the mountaintop. I keep getting a new mountaintop.” Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

So, another year is almost over - but what did we learn in 2025, South East Asia's third full year of travel since the Covid pandemic? This week, Gary and Hannah delve through the archives to take stock of an eventful 12 months for travel and tourism in South East Asia and the broader Asia Pacific region. We journey from the regional turmoil of Trump's tariffs to the tourism impacts of scam centres, and from Singapore setting the standard on SAF to Timor Leste becoming ASEAN's 11th member. Plus, we ask what happened to the ASEAN Tourism Visa, and question why the Philippines is pushing to promote ASEAN as a single destination. We discuss India's secondary city tourism wave, and look at which countries made new visa-free access moves throughout the year. And we gaze into a crystal ball to foretell whether Thailand and Cambodia might make peace and reopen their borders any time soon. Finally, we delve into Vietnam's remarkable breakout year after an initially slow post-Covid recovery - and its reluctance to offer visa-free access to Chinese tourists.
