As 2024 comes to a close, the Breakeven Brothers are looking back at a year filled with bizarre headlines, technological leaps, and the ever-present hum of UFO speculation. Was that a drone swarm over New Jersey, or something...else? They dive deep into the latest sightings, exploring a wild theory involving a missing radioactive device and some top-secret government scanning. But it's not all tinfoil hats and conspiracy theories; they're also taking stock of their own year, sharing lessons learned in the trenches of app development, side hustles, and the quest for a more balanced life. From Black Friday scores to New Year's resolutions, this episode is a jam-packed reflection on the year that was, with a healthy dose of future-gazing. Get ready for some surprising insights, a few laughs, and a whole lot of brotherly debate as they wrap up 2024 and set their sights on a brand new year!
