I ask myself two questions a few times a year.

What do I want my last thoughts to be, when I’m old and it’s my time?

And what do I want said about me at my funeral?

Not as dark as it sounds. It’s actually the opposite.

Once you picture the end, the noise falls away fast. The stress about money. What people think of your choices.

The stuff you swore mattered this week.

None of it makes the cut.

What’s left is the people you loved, the time you actually gave them, and whether you showed up for it.

So I use those two questions to check myself.

Am I living like I already know that? Or am I waiting for the deathbed to figure it out?

Your last thoughts should be your dominating thoughts.
Today.

Comment LIFE and I’ll send you the exact worksheet, the two questions plus how I actually run this every quarter.

You’re not lazy.
You’re not lacking discipline.
You have too many directions and no one to tell you which one’s right.

That’s what kept one of our guys stuck for a year on his business.

One conversation at a one of our recent events changed that.

Clarity on how someone who’s already done it would actually do it.

24 hours later: 8 hours of real work. Fewer wrong turns.

You don’t need more hustle.

You need someone who’s already walked the road.

We all want the same thing for our family.

Best opportunities. Happiness. Nothing missed out on.

So we chase more. More activities, more programs, more stuff to give them the edge.

Ironically? All they want is you.

A bike ride. Soccer in the yard. You, actually there, not half-watching your phone while they talk.

They don’t need more. They need you healthy enough and present enough to show up when they want to play.

We overcomplicate this. The best stuff is simple.

Take care of yourself. Be fully there when it matters.

No family is perfect, but the dream life you’re building for them is simpler than you’re making it.

The dream needs to be big.

The first move doesn’t. Go ride bikes tonight.

It started in a driveway..

In 2011, I fell in love with CrossFit, not just the training, but being part of a like minded community.

2 years later, I took out a $50k loan and started building CrossFit YQM.

Our first clients trained in my parents’ garage or in the driveway.

Then we opened our doors in a 2,400 sq/ft space in a sh*tty industrial park building.

2 years to the day after opening, we moved into a brand new 6,000 sq/ft facility, new gear, all the shiny things. Built a community of 225+ members and changed countless lives forever.

It started with 1 client in a driveway.

Dream big. Take a small step daily.

I sign up for things I’m not sure I can finish. On purpose.

Last year it was an Ultra Marathon. This year it’s a 120km MTB race.

It’s called a Misogi. Old Japanese ritual, borrowed by Jesse Itzler: pick ONE event a year that scares you a little.

Something so hard you’re not sure you can pull it off. Then build your whole year backwards from it.

Here’s why I do it:

My kids don’t learn from what I tell them. They learn from what I do.

If I want them to go after a big life, ambition, happiness, all of it, I can’t sit on the sidelines of my own. Showing up as the best dad I can be starts with showing up for myself first.

The event isn’t even the point. The point is the purpose it gives you every single day leading up to it.

By choosing hard things, life gets easy. Choose the easy road, life gets hard.

Comment MISOGI and I’ll send you the exact framework I use to build my whole year around one hard goal.

I enjoy setting big fitness goals, it keeps me aligned with a deeper purpose.

I believe everyone should have specific fitness goals or sign up for events that challenge them. It gives you another reason to show up on the days you don’t feel like putting in the work.

Here’s the thing: the goal needs to be big enough to scare you and fire you up at the same time, but the first steps can be tiny.

I ran a 5k before running an ultra marathon.

I put 95lbs on the bar before putting on 405lbs.

I did ring rows before doing pull ups.

When I started training for my 2026 Misogi, I had very little bike fitness. I put a training program together, started with humbling workouts, grinded in my garage, and put in the work.

I’m 6 weeks away from my 120KM mtb race.

I’m feeling stronger than I’ve ever been on a bike and crushing long rides like never before.

All I did was get on the bike on day 1. Momentum took over after that.

Dream big, but be humble enough to start wherever you’re starting at, and start now.

LET’S GO! 🚀

You don’t need to “be somebody” to create something that matters.

You become somebody BY taking action on it.

A year ago I started a podcast.
Never hosted one before.
Didn’t know if anyone would listen.
Didn’t know if a single guest would say yes.

Fast forward 12 months →
→ Tens of thousands of views and listens
→ Dozens of in person events
→ A community that’s actually changing lives

None of that existed on day one.

Day one was just a decision to start.

Most people kill their own momentum before they ever get a shot. One failed attempt and they take it as a sign that it wasn’t for them.

The dream needs to be big.

The first move doesn’t.

A new contact. A 2K walk before the marathon. One unimpressive rep, repeated.

What’s the version of this you’ve been sitting on because it feels too small to matter yet?

It doesn’t have to matter yet. It just has to start.
