Ep. 170 - What the Year Taught Us: Discipline, Resilience, and Building Community with Jesse and Katerina

In the final episode of From the Honeycomb for 2025, Katerina and her husband Jesse reflect on a year that brought both unexpected challenges and meaningful wins. In this honest conversation, they share what it looked like to run their businesses through shifting economic conditions, client and consultant dynamics, and increasing responsibilities—while staying grounded in purpose and discipline.

They pull back the curtain on the less-visible parts of entrepreneurship: raising fees, expanding and trusting a team, managing uncertain timelines, and navigating external pressures that impact daily decision-making. Along the way, they make space for gratitude, acknowledging the simple joys that helped anchor them through it all.

This episode is a thoughtful close to the year—rooted in reflection, resilience, and the lessons learned from uncertainty. It honors the progress made, the challenges faced head-on, and the steady commitment required to keep moving forward.
