What Are You Plugging Into This Year?
We’re in the middle of preparing to move into our new OrangeBall office. It’s a fresh build, starting from the ground up, and we’re partnering with the leasing company to create a space that fits us perfectly. Right now, it’s a work in progress—a bare-bones framework with lots of finishing touches still ahead.
Last week, while checking out one of the private offices, we noticed something was missing. The room hadn’t been wired for power outlets yet. Everything else in the space was coming together exactly as planned, but this particular office had nowhere to plug in. One quick conversation with the builder resolved it—it was just a matter of identifying where we wanted the outlets. But that moment sparked a bigger question for us…
What are we plugging into in 2025?
In both our personal and professional lives, everything starts with inputs. The things we allow in shape the energy, focus, and direction we bring to the table.

The biggest input?

Have you ever heard, “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with”? If that’s true, we need to choose wisely. Being intentional about our inputs—rather than leaving them to chance—can make all the difference. It’s not just about asking, What am I allowing in? It’s also about asking, Is this serving me and where I want to go?
