Lessons We’re Carrying Forward: Best of The Mike Method 2025

As 2025 comes to a close, we wanted to pause and look back on some of the moments from The Mike Method that stayed with us.

Over the past year, we’ve had thoughtful conversations with leaders, founders, educators, parents, and creatives across a wide range of industries. While the topics varied, a few themes kept showing up again and again: leading with more awareness, staying grounded under pressure, strengthening relationships, and building meaningful work without losing yourself in the process.

In this special year end episode, we revisit standout moments from conversations with Mo Jessa, Anna Brooks, Milam Miller, Lillie Desjardins, Jen Murtagh, Jayson Gaddis, Lisa Dion, Greg Smith, Zach Berman, Catherine D’Orazio, and Simon Bowen.

If you’re reflecting on the year behind you or thinking about what you want to carry forward into what’s next, we hope this episode gives you a few ideas worth sitting with.
