What a rollercoaster year it's been for David Boyle! In this final episode of 2025, Boyle reflects on what he describes as the most hectic year of his life. From jet-setting across continents, dealing with a soul-crushing job, to relocating his family to Boston, Boyle's journey is nothing short of chaotic.
