Are you feeling the weight of trading too much time for too little profit? In this candid “New Year” kickoff, Dan Proczko and Brigitte Vegter look back at 2025—a year they describe as a “great reset”. Despite missing their original growth targets, both found massive internal wins in restructuring and refining their cost models to maximize profit margins . Looking ahead to 2026, they reveal their pivot from 1-on-1 services to high-impact courses, masterminds, and coaching . This episode is a blueprint for any business owner ready to stop playing small, lean into their authentic expertise, and build a legacy.
