Wow. 365 days. Crazy we’re here.
On this day one year ago, we launched and I was absolutely terrified. Terrified about the thought that the journey I’m about to embark on was too big, too ambitious for me.
365 days can teach you a lot of things. The most important thing that it can teach you is belief. Belief you can do it. You all have helped me realize this.
We’ve had a lot of wins here and I plan for those to continue. We’ve taken our losses, too, and that’s OK. We plan to earn back departed business just as hard as we work to keep you all here.
365 days has taught me the power of having good people and a sense of community.
I am so proud of my guys, they work so hard and they all deserve the individual recognition they should get. I am also proud of the community we’ve built here. We’re inviting, open and welcome all opinions, whether we disagree or not. Not too many places can boast the things we can.
Most importantly, 365 days has taught us that we belong.
Michigan fans have the luxury of choice when it comes to coverage. All of it good. But, if I’ve learned anything over this last year, we have asserted ourselves as a place that belongs in the discussion everywhere else. We’re going to continue to do that.
To conclude, a sincere thank you for all of you being here. You all have afforded me the opportunity to live a dream I never thought would be possible. I love what I do and I love this community. Every day is a dream I hope to never wake up from.
Happy first birthday, M&BR. Here’s to many more.
