Okay, so the first thing I need to talk about in this episode is something that we talk about with our clients all the time. We have this idea of, I just need to be consistent. If I'm just consistent, everything's going to be fine. I think I could do a whole episode on why I hate that word, but I would encourage you instead to swap that word with relentless. Okay, we're going to Quentin Tarantino this the holiday season brings obviously unique challenges. We've got busy schedules, family gatherings, indulgent food.
