On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling celebrates the new year with returning guests Stacia Crawford of Stay Ready Media and business strategist/community builder Keith Spiro.
This conversation is a behind the scenes look at all three of their goal-processes; how they face challenges, recalibrate, and set themselves up for success. The trio shared wins and challenges from last year, goals for this one, and three words for 2026 (hat tip to Chris Brogan), along with mantras for forward motion. Stacia’s is “Go back to basics,” Keith’s is “Flexibility,” and Deb’s is “Spotlight.”
