We asked our community to reflect on 2024 and look ahead to 2025.

Alex Cook, “You Are Loved” Muralist, Featured July 2023

“This year I’m feeling grateful for new ideas to express and new ways of sharing them with my community. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised anymore, but it does continue to surprise me when I have a new idea that I don’t know how to accomplish and paths come into view as I simply begin the work. It helps me feel hopeful that expansion and growth are always possible.”



Mike Gill, Unified Basketball Coach, Featured December 2022

“I am extremely grateful for 2024. In October, I became a grampy for the first time with my healthy and happy grandson Walker. Such an unbelievable feeling! Also grateful to coach Unified Sports at Northampton High School with athletes who always try their best, as well as coach with my good friend Jim McGrath.”


Fungai Tichawangana, Owner of Artist Dynamix, Expert Contributor

“I am thankful for my Business Network International family. Much of 2024 was slower than expected and they were a much-needed support system. In 2025, I am looking forward to growing the reach of Inc413 and using it as a platform to help more businesses grow and succeed.”


Brook Wolcott, 17-Year-Old Pilot, Featured August 2024

“I’m grateful for my opportunity to experience aviation and excited to see where it brings me in the new year!”
