Welcome to The Quiet Rich, your weekly email for a quiet mind & a rich life. Today you’ll get my 12 most viral methods from 2025 (to carry into the New Year):

CONTEXT

The end of December is my favorite time to reflect on the past year.

So I did something a little different this week. I went through every piece of content I published in 2025 and pulled the top 12 that resonated most with you. The ones that sparked the most conversations, got shared thousands of times, and (based on your wonderful DMs) actually changed how people think about their careers and lives.

Here are my 12 “crowd favorites” to make 2026 your best year yet. 🥂

CLOSING THOUGHTS

My "wish list" this holiday season was extremely short. And it’s thanks to each one of you who has ever enjoyed my writing.

2025 was a meaningful one for me. I left Google in May to bet on myself. I coached hundreds of thought leaders. I collaborated with sponsors whose products I genuinely love. I landed a book deal with my dream publishing house.

And it all started because I decided to post on LinkedIn less than 3 years ago.

Now imagine this: You kick off 2026 with a personal brand on LinkedIn you're incredibly proud of. By February, you're opening DMs to find client inquiries, keynote invitations, media features, podcast appearances, and the opportunities you've been waiting for.

That's what happened for 1,000+ people who joined my coaching program. Read their reviews here.

I teamed up with Ben Meer and Colby Kultgen to teach you everything we know about growing your brand (and business). Our next Archimedes cohort starts January 26th.

(Only 3 days left to write this off as a 2025 business expense.) Learn more and apply here—it only takes 3 minutes.

Thank you (from the bottom of my heart) to every member of The Quiet Rich. Your kind messages and DMs this year meant more than you know.

I’m wishing you a happy, healthy, and (quietly) wealthy New Year.

All my love,

Jade
