Everything Changed in 2025. Here’s What I’m Doing Differently in 2026| Ep. 197 | Young Han

We’re back from the break with a brand new episode of The Girl Dad Show.

In this solo reflection, Young Han looks back on the lessons, challenges, and growth that shaped 2025, both personally and professionally. From the evolution of the podcast to navigating leadership bottlenecks in his businesses, Young shares what worked, what didn’t, and what ultimately forced him to grow.

He opens up about how his views on financial freedom have changed, especially as they relate to parenting, time, and long-term security for his family. The conversation dives into the cost of constant context switching, why leadership models must evolve as companies scale, and why health and energy are now non-negotiable priorities.

Looking ahead to 2026, Young outlines a renewed focus on franchising, personal development, and building systems that create clarity at work and presence at home. This episode marks a reset and a fresh start as the show returns with new conversations and deeper insights.
