“Real magic is a source of energy you can touch but you’ll never own; it’s a source of energy that you can shape but never control. You must work, run really, to stay in constant touch with it.”PHIL STUTZ |
Heroes!!
Happy Sunday!
I hope you enjoyed last week’s wisdom-packed goodness.
Yesterday I shared Philosopher’s Note #750.
It was a special one: A Note on my Yoda Phil Stutz’s True and False Magic.
As I say in the Notes, no single person (other than Alexandra) has shaped how I see the world more deeply than Phil.
(If you haven’t seen the Netflix documentary Stutz yet, check it out!)
750 Notes.
I kinda felt the scope of that as I typed it out—remembering the moment almost exactly 18 years ago when I was on a pre-honeymoon flight back from Tokyo to LA with Alexandra when I had the idea to create Philosopher’s Notes.
My original goal was 100. Which we sold for $99, and which is how so many of you first found us. (Thank you! π )
Now here we are marching to 1,000 (all still for $99! π€―), while also doing so much more to train heroes who become guides so we can change the world together.
As per my last weekly email, I’m going to extend the time frame by which I’ll hit 1,000 Notes from the insane (even by my standards ! π) target of this year to 2030–releasing one new Note a week until we get there!!
I’m shifting my priorities to focus my energy on some higher-leverage ways to activate our movement!!!
I’ll be sharing more details soon!
(Note: As I typed THAT out, I thought of the fact that, similar to how Phil has had such a profound impact on my life, no group of people has shaped my purpose more deeply than this community (and YOU)!!!
As I feel into the next phase and the power of our community, I think about our Coach Class I program that kicked off almost exactly 7 years ago and the nearly 15,000+ Coaches, 300+ Workshop Instructors, and 3,000+ Heroic Investors with whom I’ve been blessed to connect and serve in the years since.)
(Goosebumps.)
For now…
Know this: we’re going restart the daily emails on Friday, March 20th— the first day of Spring!
It’s going to be awesome.
Fired up to share more soon.
Until then…
Day 1. All in.
Let’s GO!!!!

I’ll be sharing a TON more about all the goodness coming soon with Heroic.
For now…
Exciting news!!
All the new Philosopher’s Notes are in the Heroic app!!!!
Short story…
We’re REALLY (!!!!) excited to have created the new, simple way for people to enter the Heroic ecosystem via PN.
It’s a MUCH (!!!!!) easier thing to explain to someone who has never heard of Heroic. (Obviously!!)
And…
We realized that we need to accelerate the speed with which we integrate EVERYTHING we have to offer with Heroic.
So…
That’s why you will now be able to access ALL 750 Notes in the Heroic app.
It’s ALSO why we’re going to be optimizing the Heroic app to take the entire experience to the next level.
Stay tuned for more!!!!
