On a quick walk through the city just before Christmas, Matt checks in to close out the year. After a long and difficult stretch, there’s finally tangible momentum: Amped’s first in-studio recordings are complete, the work looks and sounds fantastic, and new clients are coming on board. This short episode is both a thank-you and a pause — a decision to step back for the holidays, recharge, and return in the new year with fresh energy. A quiet sign-off filled with gratitude, perspective, and genuine excitement for what 2026 holds.
