This is Scott Becker with the Becker Business in the Becker Private Equity Podcast. Today's discussion is 2026 whatever it takes. And again at the Becker Business Podcast, the Becker Private Equity Podcast. We try and bring you short business and market insight episodes every day, one to two plus typically an interview with a brilliant business leader. Today's discussion is again 2026 whatever it takes. So here's the deal with 2026. I'm convinced and it goes like the saying in golf that there are no pictures on the scorecards. So there are a couple goals I need to achieve. And really by whatever means necessary, as long as they're legal and ethical, we're going to achieve those goals. Now these are a couple goals that are not particularly business focused. One's a fitness goal. I've got to get my weight just a little bit down again this year, just where I need it to be. And again, the concept is I don't care what it takes. So. So if it means cheating through using a GLP one shot or something like that, if it means drinking 80 ounces of water a day, I don't care. Whatever it takes, I'm going to get that weight down and take off a few pounds. No pride in how I do. So we're going to do it. The second concept is very similar. I essentially don't care what it takes and it won't involve any cheating, any of the sort. But whatever it takes to beat a couple of my buddies in golf, we are going to do. Usually I rely on buying new clubs. If it means that I'm buying a new putter to use one of these lab potters for 500 bucks and it makes me a little bit more capable on the short pots and it means I get a couple more hours out of my friends. I don't care about the return on investment, I don't care about the money I plan to win regardless of what it takes. It might mean more lessons, it might need more practice, but but I don't care if there's a crutch, if it means new irons, or if it essentially means a new putter we're going to be beating our friends in golf this year. Some of them I haven't beaten a couple years. This is really the year. The. The model for the year is really whatever it takes. Yes. I've got financial and business goals besides personal fitness and golf goals. I have to go those goals. Those again. Legal, ethical, winning. Whatever it takes. No pitches on the scorecard. It's going to be inappropriately whatever it takes to win. This is the year. God Bless America. Make 2026 your best year ever. This is the year.
