This week we're getting anonymously comfy with our favorite festive co-hosts as we trade our letters for a holiday highlight reel. On this special holi-slay episode, we're reflecting on a year that taught us sometimes the biggest transformations aren't in your tech stack—they're in having the courage to redefine what's possible. Join Tom & Tommie as they unwrap the greatest hits of 2024, spill the holiday tea on what's brewing for 2025, and remind us all why the Haus of DLO feels less like a podcast and more like chosen family. So grab that festive drink and ugly holiday sweater as we celebrate a year where every messy, beautiful, and gloriously unscripted moment helped write a chapter we'll never forget.
