And Why I’m Useless Without These People
Happy New Year!
It’s only the third day of 2025, and I’m already deep into planning, strategizing, and—let’s be honest—making excuses to avoid the gym.
But with a new year comes fresh goals. Here’s what I’m setting out to achieve this year:
Launch two house new brands through AKG Creative.
Hit 100,000 subscribers for this newsletter.
Grow Flexwork Studio to support 250+ creative entrepreneurs.
Cut my screen time by 40% (help me out here).
Run a 5K marathon without taking any breaks!
Got goals of your own? Email me ankur@youngry.com and tell me what you’re chasing. Next week, I’ll feature some of the most ambitious ones (don’t worry, no names attached).
Here’s the Deal
If you’re building something meaningful, you need two things:
A sharp strategy.
Trusted people to execute it.
