I completely missed this anniversary while I was sick last week, but I’m incredibly happy to say that as of October 17, 2017, BirchTree is 7 years old!

🎉 🎉 🎉

Here’s what the last 4 of those 7 years look like in my most Bezos-esque chart ever:

Things are going well, and they’ve really taken off in the past 2 years, so thank you, everyone who is reading this!

Outside of the website, these past 12 months have also seen me launch my first app to the iOS App Store with [Today’s Forecast](https://forecast-app.com/?ref=birchtree.me), I’ve revived and stuck with a new edition of my short-form podcast with [The BirchTree Podcast](http://birchtree.libsyn.com/?ref=birchtree.me), and I even got into YouTube a little this year. Here are a few of my favorite videos:
