Hey folks, Patrick Mork here. We’re kicking off the new year with something I’ve never done before on the show, and I think it’s going to rock your world. Let’s be real: most people have abandoned their resolutions by March because their goals get buried under emails and Zoom calls.

In this solo episode, I’m giving you free access to the exact tool I use with my elite coaching clients—the people who pay me thousands of dollars to help them become the best versions of themselves. We aren't doing "fluff" or "BS" today.

We are diving deep into Mork’s Guide to an Epic 2026, a four-part framework designed to give you clarity, reflection, and momentum that actually sticks. Get your notepads ready; it's time to stop hoping for a great year and start designing one.

If this episode moved you or gave you a different lens on adversity and growth, I want to invite you to go deeper.

I wrote Step Back and Leap for people exactly like us. People building through chaos. People trying to find meaning inside uncertainty. People choosing purpose over comfort. You can get it here:

And if you want practical tools you can use today to strengthen your resilience, I created a short, tactical guide you can download immediately. It’s called The Mork Guide to Resilience and it is designed to help you build inner strength, recover faster, and lead from a grounded place:

Because sometimes the most powerful leaps forward start with stepping back, grounding yourself, and reconnecting to why you are here in the first place.
