Important Note
I’ve been on expedition for 9 months, and this is my next-to-last report.

This quarter’s report was inspired by various investor presentations and earnings calls, particularly those given by Jamie Dimon and Bob Iger.
Structure of my Q4 report is similar to my Q2 report, and organized by:
Business
By the Numbers
Pizza Slice Goal Update
Experiences
Learnings
Finance
The Annual Meeting
Dear Shareholders of Consultant on Expedition:
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and honestly, I need every single one to capture Q4. It has been a season of uncomfortable situations, introspection, and growth. Below is my best effort to summarize it in three neat bullets. For the full story, I’ve put together a presentation and an 'earnings' call available below.
Ashley’s Q4 Highlights
Volunteered in Nepal and threw the pizza party of my dreams through unexpected circumstances.
Hung Nepali prayer flags at Mardi Himal base camp to honor my expedition and to encourage others to embrace their own journeys.
Completed an independent study on the art of listening and gained mental clarity on my life’s purpose and mission.
I sincerely hope you join us at The Annual Meeting in New York City this April. I promise it will be a good time, and will email details on the specific date & location soon.
Thanks, and thanks; and ever thanks,
Ashley M. James
Chair of the Board
