For this special kickoff episode of the new year, we’re flipping the script: I, Zack Arnold, the usual host of Optimize Yourself, step into the guest seat to give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at what 2024 was like for me and my team. My podcast producer, Debby Germino interviews me to give you an inside look at how we dealt with the uncertainty and endless changes that 2024 bestowed upon us. From the challenges of navigating a difficult year in the entertainment industry (as well as my personal life) to the launch of our brand-new Mastermind program, I share the personal and professional journey that brought us here.
We also give you the origin story of the GO FAR framework, my proven method for setting and achieving meaningful goals, and provide a cheat sheet for how you can use it to achieve your goals this year. Whether you’re a creative professional looking for structure in your career or a self-starter ready to take action, this episode is packed with insights and tools to help you move forward in 2025.
