Heroes!
Michael here.
Happy Sunday.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve REALLY been enjoying the +1s lately.
I mean, they’re always good, but there’s something about the wisdom being powerfully and playfully applied to the seemingly insignificant, mundane aspects of our lives that helps it to really hit home.
(Plus, I’ve let out a little chuckle every time Brian has referenced his “yellow card” for “excessive celebration.” 😂)
Quick check in:
Do you have a daily Heroic +1 practice?
Some people listen right when they start their commute to work.
Others read them before/after their morning journal, or while making coffee or cooking breakfast.
Others do it immediately after their AM Commitment in the Heroic app (as their first phone touch of the day)!
I personally listen to them while doing a short yoga sequence as the first thing after my cold plunge in the morning.
You?!
Remember: the science of behavior change shows that the more specific you are in defining when and where to do something, the more likely you are to follow through!
+1 +1 +1 day after day and watch the gains aggregate and compound to true transformation over time.
With that, let’s get to the Brief!

We missed celebrating the 1,000th Heroic Performance Coaching 1-on-1 session amidst all the excitement of the past few months, so today we’re making up for it with an “I love you” = 1 + 4 + 3 celebration of the 1,430th!
GREAT work to all of our Heroic Performance Coaches, and to the hundreds of individuals who are leveraging the power of a Coach in your corner to go next-level in your energy, work, and love! ⚡️🔥❤️
And here are a few quick recent stories of celebration:
“My HEROIC coach is helping me go from good to GREAT. It’s a personalized approach that’s an amazing use of my time, and I’m accomplishing my personal and professional goals.”
And…
“My Heroic Coach has helped me deepen my ability to forge antifragile confidence and live my best life. They challenge me to achieve more Masterpiece days by closing the gaps and increase the baseline in achieving success in my life, which ripples out in everyone I connect with.”
Again, GREAT WORK, team!!!
Fired up to continue to serve and celebrate the 3,000th, 5,000th, 10,000th, 100,000th, 1,000,000th session and beyond.
