“Making a choice that is 1 percent better or 1 percent worse seems insignificant in the moment, but over the span of moments that make up a lifetime these choices determine the difference between who you are and who you could be. Success is the product of daily habits- -not once-in-a-lifetime transformations”JAMES CLEAR |
Happy Sunday Heroes.

I hope that you’re as excited to get caught up on all of the new Notes as I am!
(So much goodness!!!)
Last weekend, I got the opportunity to spend time with one of the incredible local leaders in our community, Workshop Instructor Trainer Marc Bowker.
It was a beautiful connection that reminded me of both the importance of prioritizing relationships, and of why we do what we do.
Then, this week, while chatting with one of our extraordinary new partners (who feels like he will become a new dear friend!), we were reflecting on key overlaps between our communities and approaches.
They support nearly 600+ gyms around the country with a whole host of incredible tools.
He shared how physical training is really just a necessary means to help with the end goal of living a life of character.
Same thing with the mental (and Damion) training we’re doing here.
The goal isn’t to consume the most content, or earn the most certifications, or have the highest streak.
It’s to win the ULTIMATE game. The game of life.
Living with wisdom, discipline, courage, and love as we serve something greater than ourselves.
May we all keep that in mind as we strive to apply the brilliant wisdom that Brian is distilling for us!
