Summary:

Welcome to the very first episode of Aligned & Accountable! If you're tired of chasing to-do lists, stuck in the cycle of planning and perfectionism, or feeling like you’re “busy” but not truly moving forward—this episode is your reset. We’re stepping into the Execution Era, where productivity is purposeful, and alignment trumps hustle.
