2023 was, without a doubt, our company’s most challenging year. As 2024 began, uncertainty loomed large. We hoped for a better year but never anticipated just how extraordinary it would turn out to be. This year, we didn’t just recover — we reinvented. We expanded, welcomed new leaders, launched a new line of business, acquired a company, earned media recognition, won awards, created incredible work for our clients, and most importantly, regained our confidence. Through it all, we did what we do best: Rose to the challenge. And that’s because of you. This company isn’t called RISE by accident. They say hitting the five-year mark is a milestone — a symbol of maturity, stability, and the beginning of prosperity for small businesses. I say it’s just the beginning. The next year, the next five years, and beyond? We’ll do it all over again — and do it even better. We’re here to stay. There’s only one direction we’re headed: forward. As we close out the year, I invite you to revisit our manifesto. Be a nice human — you can No bad vibes — every day is a good day Always ask yourself what you really want to do An authentic path may take longer, but the impact is forever legendary If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough You didn't come this far only to come this far Comparison destroys personality No risk, no story Of course, I struggle. I also don't fucking quit Seek what sets your soul on fire What if we fail? But what if we fly? Risk everything Rise Reflect on the layers of impact this company has — on the work we create, the people we meet, the challenges that push us to grow, and the lessons that shape not just this company but us as individuals. I truly tip my hat to each and every one of you. Thank you for believing in us, for standing by us through both the hardships and the triumphs, and for being part of this incredible journey. Here’s to another year of rising together. Rise Is A Mindset™
