For this special New Years episode, Dennis is joined via Zoom by his career and life coach friend Barbara Deutsch to do a podcast version of Barbara's famous year-end Completion / Creation Workshop. Barbara has been leading clients through this process for years--usually in groups-- and has graciously agreed to take Dennis through a version of the workshop on this podcast.

The questions she has participants tackle are as follows: 

• What worked for me this year?

• What didn't work for me this year?

• What did I lose/gain?

• Specific accomplishments in career.

• Eye opening concepts that helped me cope?

• Who or what still upsets me? 

• What do I want to be acknowledged for?

After that, participants come up with a "theme" to take them into the new year. Dennis does all of this while occasionally being called on his BS and told to "cut it out" by Barbara. It's warranted. Play along at home and start 2025 off with a fresh perspective!

Other topics include: Barbara's first book Open Up or Shut Up, her upcoming follow-up 20 Percent Stupid or The Girl Who Said Yes, why she serves her clients snacks and then lies about it to her therapist, Dennis's big new creative ideas for 2025 and why it's perfectly fine and even healing to tell your dog you're proud of him.
