Hi ,

In December 2012, I was cleaning out a closet in my apartment.

My 12-year-old daughter was with me.

Her mom and I had been divorced for a few years by then.

If you’ve been through something like that, you know how heavy it is.

Emotionally, mentally, physically—it leaves its mark.

By that point, I had already begun the process of healing.

I looked at the damage.

My heart was broken.

My mind was stormy.

And my body was…fat.

I had gained lots of weight during the emotional storm.

I felt tired and slow most of the time.

I’d been there before—years earlier, during a long stretch of depression.

But I came out of it.

I knew I could get back again.

So, I started small. Some light movement.

That day, while I was organizing, she found a box of old photographs—everything from 20 years ago to a few months prior.

She was quiet, flipping through them.

Then I saw that look on her face.

The thinking look. The caring look.

She looked up at me, right into my eyes, and said:

“Daddy, I want you to do everything you can to stay around as long as possible.”

It hit like a hammer wrapped in kindness.

No drama. Just clarity.

Time s l o o o o o o w w w e e e e e d down.

I knew one thing immediately:

Some ambitious, unreasonable idea was about to land in my mind.

And I knew I had to say yes to it—before all the "logical" voices rush in to talk me out of it.

Then it arrived.

"I will exercise every day for a full year."

I looked at her and said, “Yes.”

She looked back at me like, “Okay, I’m holding you to that.”

A promise was made.

And it would be kept.

When 2013 started, I made the commitment public on social media.

Day 1—done.

Day 2—done.

Day 10, 20, 50—done.

I kept going.

Day 100—done.

Day 200—done.

Even when I got sick, I showed up.

Pushups with a fever.

Sweat, shower, back to bed.

I kept going.

I hit 365 straight days.

Then 510 days.

And I’ve averaged 4–5 days a week ever since.

I lost over 45 pounds.

More importantly, I lost over 10% of my body fat—the number that matters most when your goal is to “stay around as long as possible.”

You might be thinking, “Okay, cool story. What does it have to do with me?”

And that’s a fair question.

There are a lot of threads we could pull from this story.

But for now, I want you to focus on one.

The moment.

The next time you come face to face with reality—

As sharp as it can be.

As loud as it can be.

As kind as it can be.

When time slows down and things become crystal clear.

When you know what needs to be done before the inner critics show up with their commentary.

That’s the moment I want to help you recognize.

I’ll do my best to call you into moments like that.

I’ll ask the right questions.

I’ll offer clear either/or choices—decisions that make you pause.

And when that first bold, wild thought shows up…

It’ll be up to you to rise to the occasion and say "yes!"

—before the fear talks you out of it.

Good luck.

I’m here for you.

I’m here to help you.

You have to do the work.

You get to do the work.

Do the work.

Relentlessly dedicated to your profitability,
