Ever felt like life's commitments were pulling you in all different directions?That's exactly where I found myself last year. I was overwhelmed and on the verge of "pod fade." But now, I'm back, rejuvenated and ready to kick off Season 6 of The Trend Report! Join me as I reflect on our journey since 2020, sharing pivotal moments and memorable conversations from Season 5 with industry leaders like Rex Miller, Stacey Sherman, and David Stella. Amid these reflections, I'll open up about some personal changes, including a move to a tranquil lakeside home in North Fort Worth and an upcoming anniversary trip to Europe. This season opener is not just about looking back; it's about embracing new beginnings with renewed energy. After a much-needed break to navigate personal challenges, including supporting my mother through her battle with dementia, I'm grateful for the support and encouragement that kept me grounded. Your unwavering support has been a beacon, and together, we'll embark on this new chapter with enthusiasm and a commitment to making every day a great one. Let's dive into this new season and uncover more insights and discussions that make the Trend Report a journey worth taking.Connect with Sid: www.sidmeadows.comEmbark CCT on FacebookSid on LinkedInSid on InstagramSid on YouTubeSid on Clubhouse - @sidmeadows The Trend Report introduction music is provided by Werq by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4616-werq License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
