A Transparent Look at 2015 and My Goals for 2016 (plus, how I plan to use the “5x5x5 Scale” to quit my full-time job)
Welcome to my final post of 2015. I’m applying B.J. Novak’s advice from a recent podcast with Tim Ferriss and reflecting on my experiences, both good and bad from this year.

The beginning of 2015 reminded me of my teenage years. Awkward, self-conscious, and pimply. No, I didn’t experience a late-in-life growth spurt, rather a crisis of identity.
A few short months after my wife and I decided to re-brand Millennial Type away from a multi-author journal to our own personal blog, I was unsure about the direction I wanted to take.
Fearing I made a big mistake leaving Cooking in College, I questioned what the point of all this was. Should I even continue?
The short answer is yes, but along the way I learned some valuable lessons.
