I absolutely love @marcthiele.com's powerful advice for staying connected with the people in your life.

Whenever you think about someone, build a habit of grabbing your phone and contacting them. Our time together is finite. www.youtube.com/shorts/Ju45_...

Alright, first wrap up of the year.

It's been a stellar year at @piccalil.li. We've published *so much* and introduced so many great things.

I wanted to reflect on that and let you know what's coming up in 2026.

A massive thank you to everyone who has supported us this year 💛
Wrapping up 2025
We don't normally do one of these, but I think 2025 has been a stellar year for Piccalilli, so we wanted to get into what we've done and what we're planning for next year.
